BGN's BGBBQ - 24th June '06 - Everyone is welcome

Hello dears.

After liaising with Platy and drawing on/abusing my employer's MET
office contacts, international flight data systems, various world
travel and weather guides I am pleased to announce a date for a UKRM
Open House event:

BGN's BGBBQ is to be held on the Southern shores of God's favoured
county of Kent or East Sussex on Saturday 24th June. Probably in Rye
or Camber during the afternoon.

BGWeather Forecasting Sources say that the day is likely to be blessed
with a high of 21C and a low of 11C (average of 16C), 70% humidy in
the morning and 58% humidity in the afternoon and should feature no
rain (or 1.5mm) or lots of rain and hurricanes, earthquakes and
serpents (although the latter occurrences are unlikely.)

The venue is yet to be decided and will depend on numbers. Please
reply here if you would be interested in attending. I'm not planning
on there being any kind of charge and hope there will be a Bring Your
Own agreement unless we can get something more concrete set up or an
agreement with a local pub to provide us with the area only and
something to cook on. BBQs on beaches would appear to be a bit of a
nightmare if done officially. A further invite will be posted closer
to the time with more information based on the numbers wishing to
attend.

This invitation is extended to all with UKRM connections regardless of
gender, hair colour (or lack of), height (or lack of), weight, sexual
orientation (or lack of), credit rating and is even open to those of
us who do not (yet) have criminal convictions against their name and
is unbiased with regards to resident geographical location. A special
prize sponsored by The Host will be awarded to any employees of
Islington Parking Services who care to grace us with their presence.

Thank you.

 

Will there be a hosepipe ban?

 

Please put me down for a large sausage, oh yes.

I do reserve the right to not turn up though, as I'll have completely
forgotten about this by April, let alone June.

 

What about the BOSM?

Have I said yet whether I intend to come or not? 'Cos if I said yes
then you can forget I ever posted this, I know I probably will.

There already is, down here.

I think this is one of the weekends I don't have to work but I can't
check until I'm back in the office in ten days' time. So provisionally
count me in.

 

Good plan. Save me a sausage. In fact I'll bring some.

 

Hello my Rye contact: Ypres Castle Inn - it has a diddy outside area
next to it, doesn't it? Having never been in the diddy area I'm
unsure of the full size but are we on good terms with the owners to
just reserve half of it for the afternoon and is there, by any chance,
something like a BBQ or an area for one which would allow us to cook
for ourselves only going into the pub should we seek liquid
refreshment?

If enough alcohol is consumed, I doubt it

 

8th & 9th April:

Max of 13C, min of 4C. 71% humidity AM, 54% PM. 1.2mm of rain.

EoSM is looking up though:

19th & 20th August:

Max of 22C, min of 12C, 76% AM vs 62% PM but 2mm if rain of rain so
I'm not fucking camping.

That sounds ok. As has been said already, a gentle reminder/nudge will
be needed at least every week for the last month leading upto it.

Wow, earthquakes and serpents; what a trip!

I'm interested in attending. I can bring stuff but it'll be a box of 24
somethingorother, you'll have to arrange the bread rolls because I won't
get anything else on my bike.

I reckon you've got two chances of a pub landlord letting you use their
property for a BBQ only...

Re: The official beach Barbie.

Why be official? Just turn up and do it. The idea of using a shopping
trolley was a good one as it's easy to get it to the rendesvous and it's
easy to leave it there, too

 

I hope that they will be willing to just charge for alcoholic
refreshment - I am not willing to entertain them charging for the food
itself. We just need a place to cook/burn sausages (or a few bricks
so that we can make our own).

Please let me know if there will be a fee for the afternoon.

 

<sip>

Oh, I'll be up for this for sure.

 

No, the BBQ is *outside* the pub, YTC. Too much smoke otherwise.

 

You're most welcome to not come should you wish to.

You can always pop along and I can set you on fire.

 

Balls I'm flying home from a fortnight in Rhodes that day
and its local to me too ;-(
change the date, everyone will be watching the footie anyway.!!!

Don't be silly, book ALL of it.

 

Hello sweetie.

Arse. All being well I'll be getting (someone else) somewhat squiffy
at a graduation thing. If all doesn't go well I might attend to get
out of the blast radius, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

In August???? I'm just remembering one of the reasons I don't live there.
