Blimey! Are we going to have to ration the burgers?

Well, the BBQ was excellent last night. Great turn out of Marshals and friends, superbly cooked food, loads of drink- alcoholic and otherwise, and only a little drizzle to dampen the atmosphere! Well done all for their hard work.

We had 85 marshals sign on for the prize draw, and there were probably some who were to busy queuing for burgers, and there were a number of odd types lurking in the crowd so I would reckon well over 100 folk enjoyed a great evening out. Thanks to Iain and all those who contributed the beverages. Mind you a nice cuppa would have gone down well.

I might come again next year.

I hope the prints were dispensed safely although perhaps not unrolled with all those sticky BBQ fingers about!

Dedicated to all you folks who keep the show on the road!:-

A big thank you to Iain and all who contributed to the BBQ, much appreciated by all the marshals. Thanks to Bob for the raffle and the quiz, the prizes were all distributed over the weekend to all not around when the raffle took place. Other prizes were also given by Goose, Motor Racing Legends, Masters, Frank Lyons, HSCC and a few others which were all raffled for marshals over the weekend.

Alan, I think we also must thank the 100 odd (?) marshals who turned up, which maded it all worthwhile, and the who many go out of their way to express their appreciation (of the free booze and burgers).

I would like to make the point that the prize draw was not a raffle, as donations were solicited on the basis that it was FREE to the marshals.

Thanks to;

Silverstone Auctions for a very generous donation.
Silverstone Circuits for the Single Seater Experience.*
Morgan Motor Company for the Factory Tour for two.
Lille Racewear for adding to the vouchers purchased.
Gary356 for the wonderful photos.

The quiz was a disaster as only about three people seemed bothered about the answers, so congratulations to the winner(s?) who took home a nice bottle of whisky.

The problem is how to go one better next year.

* 'Lucky' Leigh Beck once again scooping the major prize, I trust he will advise all the photographers when he makes his debut!

Oh! I enjoyed my burger Iain, and don't forget Roger, cooking and dispensing liquor to the Hoi Polloi.

Nice to see that the marshals BBQ got a mention in today's Autosport.
