Defend yer title Al!!!

Are you up this weekend fella?

I have an awesome sauce, my brisket is bristling, my butt is beautiful and my chicken still reigns supreme!

Bring it on!!!!!

Sorry Adie but I can't agree you have a beautiful Butt ;-)

When you getting there? Friday night?

Neil and I will be there about ten on Friday night

Steve

I resemble that comment!!!

I should be there for mid afternoonish, I will keep you a chilled beer.

Do you want anything picking up locally?

What are the woman like? damn forgot the wife is going to be there............

No comment!

Thanks for the offer Adie, I think we have everything we need, but I'll look forward to that beer :-)

And Toby, it's Yorkshire the women all look like you and me, only more manly:-)

and just so you are aware its pronounced "yarkshie", ookaay luv!

We have access to interpreters should anyone require it.

No it's alright, I can just about understand yorkshire it's like a poor relative of the Lancastrian accent

I'm working on it fellas so bring your A game!!

I have mastered my brisket and as you know my sauce and pork never fail. Remember, you only have a day or two left ta learn how to cook ribs.

So the gauntlet is laid!!

See you at the weekend Al

Beerz

Adie:lol!:

I quite fancy a trip to the US in October so I'm sorry Al might have to beat you this time


By the way, my chicken rocks!

Sounds like the competition is heating up!

Make the most of it guys, i WILL be competing next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bringeth it oneth

Yeah, gotta love a bit of friendly competition!

Seriously though the main thing is that the winner goes to the Jack and sticks to the Americans.

Got to say though, would love that person to be me

Good luck all round!

wassup y'all....just letting you know i'm looking forward to this one..hope the judges aint into that sweet and sticky KC style this time round cause I got that nasty spicy Texas style coming up to bite your butts ...peace, love and BBQ . CJ

I hope they're going for sweet 'n' sticky KC style because that's what I'm bringing to the table.

But I am liking the sound of some spicy texas style Q, hope you'll be offering some samples out to a fellow Wiganer CJ

Looking forward to meeting everyone this weekend.
Hope you all cook as good as you talk.
I'll be Adie's apprentice this weekend.

Somehow Mack I expect your grub to be good stuff

I'd like to say a big thanks to everybody , toby and family, all the judges and all the teams who made Rother Valley such a memorable weekend for me and my family. If you werent there you certainly missed out on atruly great weekend. CJ

Here here CJ! We had a great time and that Mystery box was a stunning idea and I really enjoyed the friendly banter.

Al if my name were Judith Chalmers, then I would have to say "Wish you were there"

I second that. Well done to all the competitors, it was a great weekend with some great food cooked.

The atmosphere was great, I think we're very lucky to have such a good core group of people with the same interest.

And a big thank you to Toby for setting up the BBBQs and arranging these events and to his family/friends for supporting his efforts. We all realise it takes a lot of effort and commitment to do these things. I think it's safe to say we're all behind you and we'll do what we can to help you make this grow into a success, somehing that can sustain itself and become a great BBQ society with more great members and a calendar chocked full of great events.


Already looking forward to the next one

Thanks guys, think we are all completely drained here and still struggling to stay awake, the buildup to May and then Rother has taken its toll (nothing to do with the two trips to the states lol) , I think I will sleep this week and ignore the wolves at the door.

none of this would be possible without your support, we really appreciate it. I am going to post some info on another thread so keep your eyes peeled.

Congrats to all of you!!

I did not attend the comp this weekend as I couldn't find enough reliable people to serve, grill , run my meat beast and do some basic cooking... well not anyone that I felt could represent our company name to the degree that I expect at an event. I had to make a tough decision an skip the contest and run the family business vending at The Trowbridge Pump Festival this week.

As all of you can imagine I had to come to a heart breaking decision, I took every avenue, time and resource I could to avoid letting everyone down including myself. We rented a van and put together our gear for the competition and were packed for the trip. It was not an easy choice to make but family and business is always first. You guys know I have to put everything through momma before I make a decision,( remember the Weber Ranch ordeal? ) so we sat and did our best to make both events happen but it wasn't to be. Arriving home to see the van still parked where we left it was very painful and unloading it was even worse.

My hat is off to the winner of the northern championships and may they represent England in America to a very high standard.

We are truly sorry if we let anyone down most of all Toby. I'm sorry man but I did everything I could to be with you all. Please feel free to send us a bill for any meat that went to waste due to our absence.
