This is a outdoor event where children are welcome as well. Lets see how many POF'ers it takes to fill a beach? LOL..

If you are unaware how to get to the lagoon here is directions:
From downtown Victoria go North on Douglas Street. Douglas Street will eventually veer westward and become Highway 1. Remain on Highway 1 for about one km then take the right-hand exit lane towards Colwood. The road will take you underneath Highway 1 and the railroad. Continue forward and you will shortly cross a bridge beside the Six Mile Pub. Travel up the hill but move to the left lane because you will be turning left at the lights immediately past the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre (turning onto Ocean Boulevard). Zero your travel indicator here. Go 0.4 km, turn left again, and head toward Fort Rodd. You will be driving through a forested area of mixed fir, maple, oak and alder trees. At 1.8 km you reach a road on the left which will take you to Fort Rodd National Historic Site and Fisgard Lighthouse. Do not take the road to Fort Rodd continue on down to the road over the bridge you will be at the lagoon LOOK FOR THE POF BANNER.
PLEASE IF YOU SIGN UP KEEP CHECKING THE POST IT IT IS A NASTY DAY THEN IT WILL BE DECIDED IF WE WILL HOLD THE EVENT OR NOT..BUT LETS KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED...ALSO KEEP CHECKING THE POST FOR UPDATES AND MORE INFORMATION AS I RECIEVE IT. I WILL ALSO BE LOOKING FOR SOME HELPERS ON THIS EVENT SO IF YOUR INTERESTED PLEASE CONTACT ME AS WELL...

Great idea Dragons! Sorry I can't help out. | |

Let's pray for Mother Nature to be kind to us that day!
As far as camera malfunctions, why doesn't everyone who has one try to bring a camera and try to take pictures, then we'll be sure to have all the evidence of a great time.......

| JULY 7, 2007 VICTORIA POF BBQ AND BONFIRE AT ESQUIMALT LAGOON Posted: 6/25/2007 2:55:46 PM | | Hi there .. I've never done this before (taking part in a forum) ...and I don't know if I'm doing this right. I'd like to attend the BBQ, but I'm wondering how many people my age would be coming. By the looks of things, it's almost all much younger folks signed up. I would especially love to be there listening to the guitar players. | |
