British BBQ Championships

Finally a British BBQ Championship!
To be held in Somerset on Saturday 14th June... see more details HERE http://www.britishbbqchampionships.com

Just remember guys, there are only a few place available (20 teams), there will be loads of other stuff to do too, so just come along and have some fun.

Hmmmm....

That might be worth a trip.
How far is that from london, Ian ?

Marco, it's about a 2.5 hour drive I think... you'd be welcome to come and share a few beers.

Knowing Ian you would have to be buying the beer in order to share it..

I love the guy but he is the best beer tester I have ever met..

At the Canadian open he was by like ever hour to make sure our beer had not gone bad..

It's a tough job but someone has to do it right?

Well said Mike

All Weather Griller and I will be there we have both secured a pass for the weekend

Cant wait, I am hoping to learn some new tricks and have a few beers at the same time ......... cant think of a better way to spend a weekend that doesn't involve taking my clothes off

Great news Shane!
You will have a choice between the new ProQ Excel and a Chargriller offset to cook on (you can use both if you want, but I'll only be supplying one free to use).
Good luck and I look forward to meeting you.

Ian

We wont be competeting this year Mack we aint up to that standard yet !!!

Just coming for a good look around and to meet up with like minded bbq enthusiasts, and we hope to pick up a few tips along the way.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Just had a conversation with the wife and a few friends and we are planing on making it to this event. We would like to compete for the first time too.

Look forward to seeing you and your crew there Al.

Thanks mark I need to go back to the site and revisit all the details. Are any members here involved in the structuring of the event?

Hi Al
I am involved, to the extent that we are providing all the units for competitors to cook on...
Each team will have a choice of what machine, either the ProQ Excel or a Chargriller Family Scout, free for them to use. If a team would like one of each unit, they will have to pay for the additional unit, at a greatly reduced price ( Chargriller for £130.00 and the ProQ FOR £150, this is almost half of the normal retail price). Teams may also bring their own equipment to cook on.

I have a meeting with the organisers on Monday 28th, so if you have any questions, feel free to post them before them, so I can bring them up at the meeting.

Ohh that's awesome!!
Are there any reegistration fees?

Is camping allowed for teams? I noticed the list of hotels etc but thought I would ask. I'm looking at about five or so people including myself.

How early can the cooking begin?

Had a look, and I didn't see any registration fees, but I'll put it on my list for the meeting.

I don't think the site is large enough for campers, but again I'll ask at the meeting.

Start time is another point I'm unsure of, hopefully I'll get answers on Monday and can post results on Tuesday.

Thanks Mark I had a few others but I can't think of them now. This age thing is starting to kick in.lol
