BBBQS (British BBQ Society)

Where in Yorkshire are you Andy?

I'm trying to get a comp set up near here at some point this year also, Chicago Jack AKA John is looking at something in Wigan too.

Hopefully, with a bit of luck we should have a few comps to go at this year.

I'm based in North Yorkshire. I have access to some potentially great venues.

Cool,

I spend a bit of time up there myself, Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby sometimes Settle (Usually Council Work).

I use a good butcher up there for my Pork Butts, just outside Scarborough, a place called Trotters, he cuts them to order for me.

If you ever think of setting up an event post here mate.

Andy, I bow to your wisdom…………. Setting up a comp, from grass routes level is expensive, I am not interested in one off’s its about a goal and a great bunch of people cooking good (I of course mean great!) food. Many of us travelled to Ilminster in Somerset for the British BBQ Championships last year, it was great because of the competitors not the organisation. It looks like it was a one off because it wasn’t commercially viable, I am starting something out of my own pocket that requires the support of enthusiasts, it will not work without them………. there will be contests in other parts of the country but we need a bed to work from and the first, which is free to enter, will be used to better perfect future competitions.

Hi Toby,

I agree, I don't think the guys that organised the last event did it with the spirit in mind. I think especially given the corporate feel and presence that it may have been a hope that it would become a revenue generator.

I think, given the discussions that have taken place on here that we will at some point soon find ourselves with a hardcore of people that attend most if not all regional events, but hopefully also the people local to the areas that want to cook recreationally.

In the current climate there is little to look forward to this year but I'm hoping this will be one of them.

I'd like to say thanks Tobe for taking the lead.... If you need a hand you have my details now.
