Now I am probably digging a grave for myself here but if the weather is good tomorrow I may at least utilise my garden after all the frikkin grass cutting I have done today and have a BBQ!

Thinking of a late lunch time.

I will need to assemble the BBQ and get stuff in but I'm game for a laugh!

Anyone interested? (looks up and notices the weather is not quite as sunny now so also thinks this is weather dependent...)

With the short notice probably being a problem for this w/e I'd like to still see this thread continue over the summer to suggest BBQ events.

i think "bar-b-q services" should go under "self help" ?

Why would it be handy to have a marquee? Who do you think would have a garden big enough to put one up in?

I'll be offline for a while but will be back tomorrow late morning.

If it's worth doing something impromptu and there are a few interested I'm game.

Have a good evening all!

You could have a BBQ/picnic run.
Run ending at some country park or such that allow those disposable BBQs and just flake out on the picnic cloths with a cold low alco beer, bbq a bit of meat, eat some coleslaw, play a bit of frisbee, and whatever else picnic people do. (God I sound so english!)

So you never have to cancel a BBQ

Um. I have just got back home. Weather is not the greatest, not sure which way it will go so I have discounted a BBQ idea for today.

Di, the run / picnic / BBQ idea is fantastic!

The Ladies run is next Sunday but Sat could be possible if the weather is good. And as the evenings get longer we could combine this with a weekday evening meet!

Anyway, I've been kindly invited off to Silverstone to watch the Supercar showdown. So I'll be off in 2.
