Summer BBQ taking place as planned this Sunday at Emberton Park, Nr Olney, Bucks. Arrival time should be anytime from 12:30 onward, I will probably be the first there so look out for a Red (987) Boxster and any other reference to PCGB (not sure what yet).
For guidance I have listed below the park's rules as laid out by the local council and these form part of our H&S as organisers. Please read them as there maybe one or two items which you may not have considered.

Pet owners should remember the health and well being of pets left in vehicles especially on warm summer days.
Due to water hazards at Emberton, special observation of children should be made so that no harm should come to them from water related incidents.
] ). A very social summer occasion - PCGB members outside of R10 welcome - bring food, drink, seating, BBQ (must be off the ground to avoid scorching/fire - a few house bricks will do) and a relaxed mood....[8D]. Could be the odd game of frizbee or football (away from the cars!) - or kites if weather holds!
