Uttoxeter Gateway Club Barbecue 2003

As I sit here in the sunshine reflecting on last nights summer Uttoxeter Gateway Club Barbecue, it seems so unfair that the venue needed to be changed at the last minute to somewhere dry! However, you can always rely on Wilfred House providing a dry and safe haven.

Club spirits certainly didn’t seem affected either, with the usual beaming smiles arriving through the doors.

Julia and her family had provided a lovely spread with a little help from Di too. Hot dogs (sausages and a half!), Aberdeen angus steak burgers no less and kebabs were hot favourites on the menu, along with a generous dollop of tomato ketchup and the healthy option of a side salad, our members were swift to devour and were lucky enough to have seconds for some.

Some members were reluctant to stop and smile for the camera, the food was so delicious. All washed down with a welcome can of 7-up or Pepsi Max. But no BBQ would be concluded without a pudding! The rich chocolate gateau was extremely popular and lovely and if that wasn’t to your liking a selection of donuts were on offer too!

In a gesture of our appreciation, Julia was presented with a colourful bouquet of flowers by two of our regular members. The evening continued with a club favourite, an impromptu game of music statues, musical chairs, and finished off with a quick boogie on the dance floor thanks to ‘DJ’ Andrew!

It was a great night and huge thanks to Julia and her family, and Pauline for stepping in to cover for a poorly Sue. Get well soon Sue ! See you all at Cinebowl next week don’t forget it’s £6.

Until next time…
