Hawker Association 2015 Summer Barbecue Story Photos update 17Jun15  

On Wednesday June 10th, the annual Summer BBQ was held at the Hawker YMCA Centre in Richmond Road. The weather was kind inasmuch as it didn't rain, but the sun hid behind cloud for most of the afternoon, although the temperature was high enough to allow everybody to sit outside on the patio.

The number of Members and Guests attending at 27 was slightly disappointing compared to last year's 34. However, the BBQ food was as good as ever and the two dessert gateaux (chocolate sponge and carrot and cream cake) were delicious.

The pleasure of the BBQ besides the food, is the opportunity to meet and socialise with old friends in a relaxed atmosphere with more time available than at the monthly Meetings and everybody likes reminiscing about the good times we all shared at Kingston.

The afternoon was rounded off with the traditional splendid raffle (slight exaggeration) and everybody left sated and happy (particularly the raffle prize winners) by about 3.30pm, thus avoiding the "schools out" rush.
