It's about time we had more events again, go for it. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't happen, but we'll just have to find out what people's appetite is for it now. I'd certainly try to come along and bring something cooked if I could make it.
There have been a few forum barbecues (was it two?) as well as two bake-offs at the Coach and Horses (now seemingly no longer an active forum venue).
We could ask the new management at the Chesham Arms in Hackney (soon under forum management) if they'd be up for having us for a barbie. They don't do food yet so might not mind us bringing our own. Beer garden at the back, beer on tap, bring bikes through from the street, sunshine (natch). What could possibly go wrong?

Who is taking over the Chesham Arms?
Randomly, I met Steve, the ex-owner of the Coach and Horses the other day. Was at dinner with him and he mentioned he was an ex-publican. After a bit of back and forth, we worked out that we must have met many years ago at his pub. He has fond memories of Mondays with the lfgss crowd. He namechecked Corny, Hillybilly, Teenslain etc.

Re: bbq/picnic/cook-off
See I didn't know all of that, a pub with a beer garden owned by one fellow lfgss-er. But I agree, when you put together so many good things it's hard for it to go wrong. I'd definitely be there cooking/grilling/sharing food brought from home whatever (except with @jim1985, unless he decides to talk to me).
When is this pal going to take over the Chesham Arms? This could be well coordinated and work as a good kickoff/reopening event for him as well.. Can someone "@" him so he's part of the conversation?

As I said, I'm new around, don't know many ppl, I guess if I do that very few would show up..
