Sat 14th Aug Bigfoot Summer BBQ and fun day – ‘WIN A BIKE!’ -THIS SATURDAY
**** UPDATE 9th AUG 2010 ****
Hi all,
Ok first off BBQ is still on!!!
Some of you may have also noticed a ride has been put up for Saturday starting at 10am. This ride is starting at the same venue as the BBQ so if you fancy a spin before hand for an hour or so please come along? This ride is suitable for all members so fun not fast!! http://www.bigfootmbc.co.uk/?p=2962
The actual BBQ you can start turning up from 12:15 onwards. A selection of BBQ food, snacks, treats and drinks will be provided by Bigfoot but you are all welcome to bring along a little something i.e. home made cakes, burgers, salads, pastas, cider..well anything you can think of if you so desire. We have a BBQ pit booked which is the one by the climbing wall, which is solely for our use. We will have the Bigfoot banner up (Andy can you remember to bring this please boss) so you can easily see where we are. I would also recommend people bring fold up chairs to sit on as there is limited benches. Parking is pay and display so bring some cash for this. Beechenhurst lodge has a café and toilets so if you hate my BBQ cooking you can always pop next door.
Entertainment would have been supplied by Rach’s Andy but we couldn’t afford the alcohol bill to get him to a suitable state, so instead Janet and co will be running the Bigfoot Shopper Challenge. Full details are below.
Families and friends are invited as well and the Beechenhurst lodge and surrounding area is great for a wonder around, so you can always use the BBQ area as a base for a few hours if you want to go for a stroll. Other than that, bring what ever else you like and fingers and toes crossed Saturday’s weather should be fine and dandy.
If you can thing of anything else, just add a comment and go for it!!

Hi all,
Just to give you all a bit of a heads up, the “Bigfoot BBQ Fun and Frolics Day” is on for Saturday 14th Aug

We have booked a BBQ pit and some picnic tables at Beechenhurst Lodge in the Forest of Dean (click HERE for location) which will be the base for the day. Food will in the form of a BBQ, which will be manned by MEN only, as well as other uber healthy options for the athletes amongst us! This will be coupled with a range of activities and challenges to test both skill and nerve including the World Famous Mystery Shopper Challenge.
This is an open event to all club members as well as their families so mark this in your diary as the MUST event for 2010. We are looking to kick off from 12 and going onto around 6pm, but you can cruise on up any time during the day.

There will be THREE fantastic prizes to be won at the Bigfoot Shopper Challenge.

Janet – will we need pads and a full-face? (Not sure I’ll be able to back flip it safely otherwise)
PJ,
If you are coming along could you please bring the tops from Endura so peeps could try them on for sizing? If not I could arrange to get them from you beforehand, let us know what suits?
Cheers
Can’t make the ride but will be there for the bbq. Will put in the order for cakes and burgers (or should we just try chocolate burgers…??) – does anyone have any requests re cake (chocolate; victoria sponge; coffee & walnut etc)?
I’ll be there and I’ll have the tops.
Had already decided too but I guess great minds think alike!
Ah, Ah! No wimping out just ‘cos of a little water from the sky now people
