DUXFORD BOWLS CLUB BBQ - Mk 2 (2025)

Saturday 21st June 6.30pm at the pavilion

Like last year, we were blessed with hot, dry weather for our mid-summer BBQ.  Bern on his guitar got the event going, whilst sausages and hamburgers were being cooked (along with the chefs!).  The desserts had a mostly gooseberry theme, along with a delicious rhubarb crumble, and by the end of the evening very little was left.  Geoff did what Geoff does best, and amused everyone with some of his anecdotes - are they really true, Geoff?  To round off the evening we had a surprise visit from John, Paul & George - aka Bernard Lee, Geoff Creek and Mike Boagey.  A fitting end to a really nice occasion, which seemed to be enjoyed by all, and which raised £400 for Club funds.  Thanks to all who helped put things together, and those who supported the event.  (Pictures can be found in the gallery section, when they are loaded.)

 

DUXFORD BOWLS CLUB BBQ (2024)

Friday 21st June 7pm at the pavilion

Contrary to the somewhat bleak weather outlook 10 days previous, the evening turned out to be perfect for outdoor enjoyment - sunny and warm.

Bernard Lee entertained everyone on his new guitar, and it proved a sound investment as the hits from not that long ago were given a fresh and expert airing.  A barbecue supper followed with sausages and beef-burgers, with strawberries and cream for dessert.  Thank you Sawston Co-op for providing the rolls and baps, and Gilbey Butchers in Saffron Walden supplied the meat, both of which were deemed to be exceptionally good.

Geoff Creek, Duxford Bowls Club's resident comic, did a hilarious set enjoyed by all, and Bern finished the evening with some rock 'n roll standards.

It was the perfect way of spending a mid-summer's evening and almost £400 was raised, including the raffle proceeds of £134.

Thanks to everyone involved in putting on the event, and to those who attended.

Same time next year?  Watch this space for any announcements.
