As Solar said - there will already be way too much food so don't fret about bringing stuff, especially if you have a long drive.

I confess this is a very attractive idea, but with one major shortcoming : if I were to turn up, having prepared nothing, and then proceed to scoff everyone else's food, I would feel unbelievably mean and greedy.  So here is an idea, for Chris to accept or reject as he wishes : how about a voluntary donation (say GBP 10-00) from those who turn up with nothing, which can then be used to defray the expenses of all those who have gone to the trouble of buying and preparing something ?  I would be more than happy to toss in my GBP 10-00 in these circumstances.

A suggestion from the heart indeed 

I cannot comment for everyone - obviously, but perhaps a safer idea - just in case there is not enough grub, why not just purchase a small quantity of reasonable quality bangers or similar BBQ grub from a butchers on route. No need to go mad.

I know its a CR0 (curry inspired) BBQ - but seriously - who can turn down a BBQ banger? or use you imagination. No need to spend loads... I'm bringing I hope far more than my lot needs, but just in case - I hate to see people disappointed that's all

Looking forward to meeting everyone

Cheers

Should be a good get together 

Hi Phil

Why don't you bring a selection of crisps, dips and bottles of soft drinks. They are just as important to have but don't take any preparation. We'll all tuck into those and you won't have to feel guilty about helping us get through the vast amount of meat and sauces we'll be bringing

The weather forecast is looking dry for the day!

It's a fair cop, Guv.  Put on the derbies and I'll go quietly.

I was only playing with you Phil, actually some other goodies would probably go down well too!!

Look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday

And me   Actually, I do have a few ideas in mind; I will see what I can manage by Friday afternoon, because after that I will have no time at all.

sounds a great day out people.
wish it was nearer Glasgow
looking forward to reading about it all

Hi,

I would love to come to this weekend bbq as it would have given me a chance to meet many of our members in person and share and taste many different dishes. However I will not be able to make it but I wish everyone to have a great time and share some of the pictures, videos and comments of the day with us all. I look forward to reading and watching them

I certainly don't want to be a stick in the mud but is Chris' comment still valid with everyone?

i.e. "...on the subject of photos, especially if we are taking partners and kids. Anyone that wants to be in a group 'men round the BBQ' shot for the website is welcome, but otherwise, lets just have a great day without anyone worrying about lots of photos."

More people should be going if they want to meet and greet. This really does seem like too good an opportunity to miss. I'm amazed that only half a dozen members (approx) are registered as attending. That's out of a supposed 11000 members and a good few dozen who frequent the forum.
