Summer BBQ 29 June 2024

This year for the first time the BBQ was held at the Church Centre in Headley.  The location was excellent, with use of the kitchen and toilet facilities, and a fall-back of the hall if it rained. However, the weather was perfect and everyone set up their chairs, tables and gazebos on the large grass area next to the hall. The food was excellant as usual, thank you Sue and the cooks.

An occasion well worth repeating. Photos

Summer BBQ 2022

Well, how lucky were we. The weather was brilliant for our club summer BBQ which made its happy return.

John and Carole Wilson very kindly opened their beautiful garden for us to enjoy a wonderful afternoon arranged by Yvonne Lindup and helpers.

The gazebos were up to shade the most amazing assortment of salads generously brought by members and partners.

The beef burgers, sausages, corn cobs and vegan foods were all cooked to perfection by Bob Cole and Mike Young.

Just when you thought it could not get any better, out came the scrumptious desserts.

We then had a raffle and a good old natter, before heading home with full stomachs, raffle prizes under our arms, and happy smiley faces.”

Sue Erler

A huge thanks to Yvonne Lindup for organising the event, and to John & Carole Wilson for the use of their garden
