Topic: CR0 Summer BBQ

[Malc.]

Have spoken to the good lady who is quite up for it! She does work every other Sunday and out of preference we'd prefer a Saturday. So i'll mark us down for Sat on each date.

make sure you take loads of photo's and i can have a giggle at em.

I think the barbecue suggestion is another great idea of Chris's which I was pleased to register an interest for.

However, are photos such a good idea? Some people may not be too keen and it might put them off going, me included actually. I'm already having second thoughts which is a shame. It's not just the thought of people treating photos as a spectacle for laughs or giggles (how appealing is that?). If people weren't the slightest bit concerned with Internet security, we'd all use our full, real names here. Why else would anyone call themselves by the name of a spice or similar? Cover may be 'blown' if photos are taken and posted here. What does everyone else think?

George, I would respect anyone that wishes to remain incognito and would expect others to be equally attentive, when uploading pictures. Please don't let it deter you from attending.

I really can't see the problem and am happy for my ugly mug to take it's place amongst the gathering. I've certainly nothing to hide, perhaps i'm naive but life is too short to worry about it. If you feel that you still can't attend then I understand.

Great to see so much interest already. Saturday the 23rd or 30th July are looking like good options at the moment and the weather 'should' be good.

I agree 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.

Cover 'Blown' George? How intriguing. Just what is your surname? Lucas? Clooney? W Bush?

No, I'm just a nobody and I want to keep it that way. If 'cover' is so intriguing why doesn't everyone use their full name as the ID on this forum with home adddress, postcode and telephone number at the bottom of each and every post? As long as everyone attending is respectful of individual wishes, as Ash suggests, then I'm sure there won't be a problem. It's a great idea.

I just looked at the park's web page and assume there's some cost for using their barbecue facilities. Also, nobody is allowed to take their own gear, so we won't be able to take along a tandoor, propane burner ring or anything.

Do you know the charge per person for using their barbecue facilities?

Now confused.  I am certain there was a mention of Frimley Park earlier, and perhaps even a link, but now I can find neither.  Has something accidentally been deleted, or am I going mad ?

It's been moved to the spreadsheet, Phil.

Thank you, Ramirez : glad I'm not going mad
