LFGSS Summer BBQ

We’ve got a forum birthday party, a track day, a growing range of rides, weekly drinks in every corner of this fair city, but we feel what the LFGSS social calendar really needs is a summer LFGSS party and BBQ. With the forum growing so big, so quickly, it feels like the right time to get the Forumengers, together and put faces to forum names so this post is to ask you all whether you actually want to have a party, and if so, what would you like to include in it…

*Our first guess was: *

• *Beer (bit of a no brainer) *
  
• Barbecue / Jerk Chicken / Veggie & Vegan delights
  
• Music (we’ll need to rustle up a sound system from one of you)
  
• Swap Shop – an amateur jumble, clearing out your spares box and replacing it with new bits.
  
• Anything else?
  *Given the summer is going to get busy with rides and whatnot, we’re going for the weekend of the August the 9th / 10th, starting around mid afternoon, going on until 10 ish and then maybe having a post party ride, or move onto another venue which can go on louder and later. *
  
  

Snowy_Again (Chris) has just wangled a new office, and it comes with a massive secure garden and not many neighbours, so we seem to have somewhere to hold it (its in SE17, so just a couple of miles south from the river). We’re going to pop down later today to see what its got on offer (grass Pisumo?)

*We reckoned that with a minimal £ contribution from you lot, we could cover the costs and make a healthy contribution to the server / rider fund. *

SO DO YOU WANNA PARTY?

sounds good

sounds ace.

everyone wears their forum name on their head to 'realify the virtual' :)

i was thinking more of a sticker, saying,
my name is
my forum name is

Yeah. And we have to do our utmost, damnedest, to not let this be a sausage party. Except the ones on the BBQ.

No to name tags.

right on Tommy, its a bad idea.

Man I sometimes wonder what I did with my life before I discovered this forum.
Anyone else think like this?

baaaaaaaarrrrrrrrbiiiiiieeeeeee!

Mike - wait till the end of the summer and we'll have to remind you the name of that lady who sleeps in the same bed as you ;)

Sounds Blinding Corny!
Music is a must for the later, You could inlcude the "bring a bottle" for the experimental cocktail session, Alley cat?

I can give you a hand with the planning.

dude, we'd never see any of it :p

You've been building up witty retorts for two whole weeks aintcha?

I love bbqs and for some reason, blokes get quite attached to the grill and will fend of any other males who try to muscle in or pass comment, i will defend the grill to the end, and that means you weedy mankini boy! :P

(yeah ok, that and you get to pick at the food all day ;)

I've a 50 gallon oil drum BBQ conversion begging to be involved in this. Do you think I should bring it??

p.s nae drama on the sausage fest, i'll rally some troop-ettes

YES BRING IT, Thats exactly the thing we need, Snowy and I were discussing sourcing one last night so thats a definite go-er

Sweet!

It's on like Tron, sir Grill-a-lot rides again!

Just chatted with the bro and he's thinking a home brew.. he's a master of it and wants to get one cooked up especially.

This is shaping up to be a banger already!

I'd prefer the 10th, because I'm going to hipster fest 2008:

Good stuff!

hello yes yes what barbeque, fucking brilliant idea, can we PLEASE do this on the 10th rather than the 9th, the london triathlon is on the 9th, so not only will i not be able to attend, it would be fucking awesome to have this the day after as all i want to do is drink, i would fathom there are also a few people doing the triathlon (maybe)
Bring On The Grill!
