I'm always keen for a BBQ, lets tee one up at our pad one weekend soon and go get stuck and test some winches as entertainment for a laugh.

Maybe the weekend of the 15th and 16th or the 22nd and 23rd??? (rest are busy with events and work stuff)

Get the Hamilton crew (plus that dodgy guy from Huntly :wink: ) together :lol:
