I'm contemplating hosting a summer bbq party type thing ...

[Piffle]

I know one beer too many
I'm in Lincs, have a nice big garden plenty of b+b's/travel lodges around could put up 2-3 couples and kids here...
I could not hope to emulate Beetys magnificent do 2 summers back, but would love to hold a smaller scale one here late spring summer...
BTW
I'm serious....

Are you really serious?! Ooh whereabouts in Lincs? Maybe could coincide with a visit to the parents. Spread my wings from these southern meetups!

I am serious indeedy :)

ooooooo, we are moving to rutland soon (beg june), so not to far from lincolnshire. where abouts?

(i was born in lincoln )

Sleaford to be precise
We venture to Rutlant once in a while for activities :)

what kind of activities , should i be worried

lake walking mostly, pub lunches...
Be excited!
Where are you moving from?

west lancashire, dh now working at loughborough uni so big relocation looming.

we must have a celebratory lakewalk grin]

You are brave :) Pity it's too far away for me.

We host our church BBQ every year, well over 100 people (or 150+ even). You need a few "chefs" to rotate or they cook themselves . I am already scanning the BOGOF's/offers on ice creams which we use for deserts as they stay in freezers until required, & any not used go straight back. We also get very friendly with the local butcher!

how est lancs preston/blackpool?
MY dp went to uni in Preston

I've got big bbq, hopefully one 2 would bring a few more littler bbq's
I also have double oven...
If it all went tits up, two great indians, two good chinese and one good italian

not as far north as preston, we are in a small village just off junction 27 of the m6. have just read your other thread you've started about your dh being away with work. will post on there

Oooh lucykate where are you ?

We used to live on Kimberley/Hucknall border !
