Right then, I have a gas BBQ, and a normal one, both of which I'm prepared to make "mobile", so how about us finding a suitable location and meeting for an end of year (well summer) do on a Sunday ? Somewhere like Windsor Gt park (but you can't have BBQ's there), that type of place ?? Make it a family day ???

What do you think ???

Sounds good to me, the more we have the better!

As for a family day, well I shall come on the bike but am happy to see all and sundry. I'm also happy to cook, assist or whatever.

Somewhere accessible to as many as possible and not too distant would be good. I'll have a Google

Sounds like a great idea so long as I don't have to bring my family!!

How about Boxhill

- not down by the cafe, but up the top, where there are several car parks hidden in the trees, nice view, etc.
National Trust area so BBQ's might be on their list of no-no's, but I could check it out

Beach BBQ ?

bring it on. definitely due a Soho family day out - one of those things that everyone mumbles about as a good idea but never gets around to organising (me included).

Can we start chucking some dates about. I'm riding in France August bank holiday w/end, back on 3 Sept. So maybe Sunday 5th Sept, which just happens to be my birthday (and it never rains). Or should we try for sooner?

Happy to get involved in organising.

I'm on leave last 2 weeks of August as well, did everybody know we were going together

so I was thinking first weekend in September, as long as there's no major race meeting on.

I don't fancy carrying my bloody great gas bottle up the top of some hill, but we could do Newlands Corner, have to check out if you can BBQ there....

The weekend of the 4th-5th Sept is good for me. I'm fencing in St. Petersburg from the 10th to the 20th of september.

Not sure how good a turn out we'd get in August. I expect most people will be taking holidays. I may be in Edinburgh for the festival one weekend in August.
