I thought I'd start this thread so that guests for both the 4 pot event at tunnies, and the V6 event and TB's get to see it.
as noted thus far in the original V6 cam belt party thread, We're now at the stage of detail fixing.... like what we're going to eat and drink once the work is largely out of the way...
i think Tea , bikkies and bacon butties is the menu for the earlier part of the day, while we're all crawling about under cars and stuff.... but for the BBQ event afterwards... this is how far we've got.

So, thus far
MaxV6 : A Fair bit of Meat, (Cumberland Sausages, Rib eye Steak, Pork loin, Lamb Chops , Chicken fillets) and Some beer.
Kev Wood : Some bread like things , possibly in the shape of wraps/tortillas
Mambafia : Cake and some Biccies
Volunteers might like to consider the following, none should be considered as a show stopping essential
Actual burgers (most of the stuff so far is "proper" meat... if you want burgers, you better bring em... )
Buns
Cheese
Wimpy green stuff like Salad?
Spuds for baking?
ketchups and sauces
more beer
Wine
vegetarian stuff if any are attending (I'm not aware of such)
Additional Bacon for day time consumption
any other suggestions welcome.....
Max
please refer to the V6 thread if you want more details on anything said so far...

Opps, posted a reply to this in the original thread! :-[
For clarity, here is what I worte:
It would be useful if those wishing to contribute , could perhaps all agree what we're bringing.... so we don;t find ourselves with 6000 buns and no burgers or ketchup.
I don't want to pressure anyone into donating more than they're able, or comfortable with.... but please be aware that we probably all owe TB and co several slap up meals.... and shouldn't really expect them to feed us all as well as fix our meegas ;) so just check out how many people are confirmed as coming to the 2 locations, and gathering later , and kind of bear it in mind...
So, thus far
MaxV6 : A Fair bit of Meat, and Some beer.
Kev Wood : Some bread like things , possibly in the shape of wraps/tortillas
Volunteers might like to consider the following, none should be considered as a show stopping essential
Actual burgers
Buns
Cheese

Spuds for baking?
biscuits?
ketchups and sauces

a cake?
any other suggestions welcome.....
TB may decide to make this a separate thread .... I couldn't decide one way or another..
Max
Fully agree with the above. :) I will be happy to provide some burgers, biscuits and salad stuff along with some soft drink (as I don't drink beer and will be driving home again). It looks as though there will be 16 people around at various times of the day, so I suggest cater for 20.
If a definitave list is to be produced, put me down for the burgers etc. If I don't hear to the contary, then I will bring what I have listed ;)

With regards to the catering for these parties - are both the V6 and 4-Pot joining forces? I'm going to be there and I was intending to bring a couple of cases of beer along, won't be staying sadly due to time restraints, but I was going to do this anyway to say thanks for the MASSIVE favour I'm being done! I'll grab a monster bottle of ketchup too, what about mayo (not the stuff from my oil filler :P)?
Also seeing as I'll not be drinking it, any preference on what I get?

I think the plan is to merge once all the main work is done, so I should imagine we merge around late afternoon..... and swamp TheBoy's cul-de-sac in Omega's!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
What about mayo (not the stuff from my oil filler :P)?
Nice!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Seriously though, if both events are joing up later in the day for refreshments - how many are we catering for?
There are around 16 people at the V6 event, so I suggested cater for 20 for this. How many are going to be at the 2.0 / 2.2 event? Looking through the thread, I can't decide a definate number.
How many in total then - does 30 sound about right?
-
Indeed , the plan is, i believe to join forces once the majority of work is complete...
some provision of sustenance will be on hand throughout the day, but the major BBQ thing is for later.
from memory of published details of previous events, i think parking at Tb's is a bit tight... it might be wise to dispose of vehicles for those who are staying over first... to hotels and the like, and organise ferrying people from hotel to TB's
Hopefully a common sense based consensus will emerge
So updated list
MaxV6 : A Fair bit of Meat, (Cumberland Sausages, Rib eye Steak, Pork loin, Lamb Chops , Chicken fillets) and Some beer.
Kev Wood : Some bread like things , possibly in the shape of wraps/tortillas
Mambafia : Cake and some Biccies
x25xe : burgers & some salad
ClarCE : Some beer and Ketchup
Further suggested Donation Options
Buns
Cheese
Wimpy green stuff like Salad? or Coleslaw etc
Spuds for baking?
more beer
Wine
vegetarian stuff if any are attending (I'm not aware of such)
Additional Bacon for day time consumption , required at both venues.
From the contents of both threads... I estimate abut 25 attendees, not including any spouses , parents or offspring etc. + of course the local hosts.... and families etc... so definitely 30 i would have thought.
Tunnie, if you haven't already, it might be a polite and nice idea to invite your parents to the BBQ, as they're supplying the driveway for the 4 pot jobs

If you're planning on serving wine, may I suggest Buckfast? It's the only wine worth mentioning, and it's a tonic wine so is very soothing! :D

I'm not "Planning" on it as such... it was merely a suggested option...
We'd have to agree to differ on Wine choice.... as I'm rather a wine lover.(Lover, NOT snob) ..... and a half italian Scorpio..... probably best just live an let live on the whole...
:y
:D 8-) :y

I'll bring some [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] wouldn't know where to get the other stuff :D

OK, first, thanks to MaxV6 for organising whos doing what etc food wise - I appreciate the effort, and its been a big help as I've been really busy this week with work, and trying to pinpoint our performance issue on this forum.
Just checked the cupboards, and I have:
Cans of Pepsi Max
Cans of 7up
3 boxes of Stella
2 boxes of Becks
Disposable plates, knifes/forks, cups etc (that'll give the dishwasher a rest!), napkins etc
Tea, coffee, milk etc etc
Ketchup
HP Brown Sauce
Plenty of kitchen roll, both for catering and for the cars!
-
As MaxV6 suggested, earlier on may be bacon butties at V6 event - can someone bring some along.
I guess something similar at Tunnies once Tunnie confirms with Mother Tunnie...

Got mother tunnie to stock up on bacon buttie supplies!! :D
I might pop down Tesco and get some bottles of fizz since most are driving... we have plenty of Euro Blend tea thanks to Chopsdad :y
I might get a big bag of crisps to munch during work! :y
-
Put me down for supply of bacon, can pick up off the meat van tomorrow night, can also get other meat stuff, will wait and see what they have tomorrow, and post tomorrow night what I have managed to get :y, I ma hoping to get up to Brackley for 10/10.30, as having a stop off on the way up to do a favour for anothe member. :y

just a reminder for people travelling up... from the M40 towards Brackley no speed cameras, from the M1 there is one just after Silverstone on a down hill section so be careful :y
I have now bbq at home, so can only do bacon butties at my location.

I'm not drinking (much), and I can't keep anything chilled, but I have all day to go out shopping if we need anything. Or I'll throw some cash in the kitty for any supply runs on the day? I don't know what you guys do at these summer BBQ's over here? :-? ;D

Ah 'dangle berries', bugger, 'dangle berries', boolox, 'dangle berries'.
Its gas. Guess who's forgotten to get the bottle filled. I have one bottle that I think is around 1/2 full, and one empty one.... ....I may have to disappear in morning at some point to get it refilled.

Not necessarily, help will be at hand, I am sure either me or someone else will shoot round to wherever to stock up on the gas :y

Jaime, I have one large bottle 2/3rds full will bring it along.... (if that's okay with Kev)
in fact, the only reason we're not using my BBQ (thinking back to the original proposals.... ) was that it won't fit in an Omega.... using my Gas was always on the agenda....
