This year's Summer Bbq will be held last weekend in June, Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th June.... usual venue in the glorious Gloucestershire countryside, midday onwards. Please bring beverages and some food to pop on the grill

All welcome; as always it is a family orientated event so please bring partner/sprogs etc...but no pets plz.

Bring tent/campervan etc to stay over as the fun and festivities extend through into the night....strong coffee, bacon sandwiches and sympathy freely available on the Sunday morning

Hope to see you there, if the Good Lord spares us and the creeks don't rise.

In a rare fit of forward planning....

Summer bbq 2026 will be held last weekend in June

Summer bbq 2027 will be held last weekend in June

Summer bbq 2028 will be held last weekend in June

I could go on....

All subject to usual proviso of Good Lord sparing us and creeks not rising

Always a thoroughly enjoyable weekend with some absolute legends. Sadly we’ll have to miss this one due to prior engagements, but already have next year in my calendar!

We will miss you and KJ and Yasmin....

I think you should inform Buckingham Palace that you have a prior engagement and your knighthood will just have to wait until the following week....

Unfortunately I’ll be in Dry Dock in China. Last time I was doing such a thing, Covid happened.

Awww.... we will miss you.

But now you know the future dates for the next decade or two, you can arrange your calendar accordingly

Is your Dry Dock and alcohol free zone?

Noted down and very much hope to be there this year, and next, and the one after.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

We are expected to maintain our sobriety in dry dock. Of course, should my crew enjoy themselves I’ll turn a blind eye

Absolutely will be there... with copious amounts of alcohol, bbq food and morning after remedy bacon as usual

for anyone not sure, this is an amazing event. good food, good beer/wine and best of all wonderful people who will become lifelong friends.

Why no pets, out of interest? Not a loaded question, just curious.

As a pet owner I literally would bring my dog everywhere if I could, and am completely not on the wavelength of those who don't want (even well-behaved) animals around.

For the record, I got my first ever pet 3 years ago. So I'm a recent convert, but never bothered about other people's animals before.

What is , let's say 'anti-social' about having pets at an outdoor event?

Again, totally not a loaded question, just interested in the 'no pets' mindset.

Sheep farm next door, plus all my neighbours have dogs

I did host an event ( not anything ITFC ) a few years ago and 4 different dog owners brought their pooch along.... too much conflict and strife amongst the dogs

Easier without tbh

AHH. Understood. I had images of you having a home surrounded by fields and nobody else within miles! 😂

Agree regarding multiple dogs that don't necessarily want to be around each other!

Always good to get some perspective!

Enjoy your BBQ. 😁

Thanks... fingers crossed for some good weather for the day

Nearest neighbours are about 500 metres away.... all very fine people but there are still some major league grudges going back through the decades of which dog bit whose dog... resentment about vets bill and other bad feeling.

It was actually you that bit the dog wasn't it?

I've put in my request for the weekend with work, peak season for us, so hopefully will see you then.

To be fair, the BBQ was probably running low at the time… so can’t blame him for taking a bite…

I only asked if I could have a hot dog from the grill... a simple misunderstanding

So you're saying the last weekend in June not 2nd or 3rd or first in July.

Think I've got it...

Holidaying in March this year, so no excuses not to come.

May have to rough it in a Nissan Pornstar or whatever the model is called rather than the plush camper we had last year...

If it helps encourage more to attend, I must report that things haven't changed, and we can still not make it this year. It is in next year's calendar already though, as it will be the same weekend in 2026 - assuming the tides etc...
