Just to remind everyone that Linda and I have a second Folk Barbecue planned for Sunday 14th September from 2pm onwards. It'll be the usual "Bring it and Burn it" format and I hope to have 10 gals of my beer, although the recent hot spell might not have helped the cask conditioning phase.

We had at about eighteen mudcatters at the last BBQ - for more details see this thread about it.

Good to see you & Linda at Whitby.

I will see what plans we have that weekend. I promised my mum and dad that I would make the trip up to Selby to see them sometime in September...however September is turning out to be a busy month!!!!

Hope to be there Dave and Linda if the last two were anything to go by it should be a good afternoon!!!

Checked on the beer - both lots seem to have survived the heat ok and should be in fine condition for the 14th. Hope to see plenty of you there for this - the last until my 60th birthday one, next June.

Lady P - if you're near the DLR you could get a train to Lewisham and change to a Connex one (4 stops) to Mottingham. We're an easy 10 minute walk from the station - see map.

Thanks to everyone who turned up and made it fun - not another one now until June 2004 - mind you that's goig to be special as it will be my 60th Birthday - we might have to consider a ticket system. You never know, perhaps the legendary Dave K will even perform (we cold make it a condition of him being allowed in!).

Don't forget that there should be a chance to finish off the beer at Knockholt, next weekend.

Sorry that we never got round to singing "Happy Birthday" to you, Liz.

Wotcha!

I failed miserably to turn up to the bbq, but didn't regret this until I'd gotten over the fragile feeling I had most of sunday due to sticking two bottles of wine + sundry spirits away in four hours after a stressful house showing and the serendipitous arrival of a friend I don't see often enough.

I've seen the piccies, "bbq in the back yard" doesn't seem to cover it somehow. Glad you all had a good time, I shall better prepare myself for next year.............

Mudguard - Long pork is the term used by cannibals to describe humans they are preparing to eat, not to be confused with pork sword which is TOTALLY different and you won't find in most dictionaries either.

It's called 'long pork' because of it's alleged similarity to pig meat.

Almost anyone will be able to tell you what a pork sword is, you just might regret knowing - and be careful who you ask!
