FabSwingers.com forum: Summer sports day and picnic/BBQ

So I know this is something that was done as a social a number of years ago and was wondering if anyone would be interested in me organising something ?

Park/campsite or beach somewhere organise some good healthy competitive games/races and have a picnic/BBQ

Say something like 12-6 on a Saturday or Sunday

Folks maybe want to camp out and make a night of it

THOUGHTS !!??

the pub or in the nude in Paisley

Sounds like a good day out if we could drive or play sports of any kind

Yup. The one several years ago was my first Fab social. Organised by Falcon. Glasgow Green. It was a hoot. I’d certainly go to another one but this time glued egg and spoon should be disqualified!

So I’m thinking the census is defo a yes for this then

So the next question is what do folk think would be an appropriate contribution to cover either picnic/ BBQ ??

or do it as a bring your own or have a list of things to bring and get folk to commit to it ??

Does anyone have access to hula hoops, sacks, beanbags etc ?

I would recommend that it’s a bring your own picnic. That way you won’t stress about food for a large group and then be left to set it up and tidy it all away afterward.

I’m presuming this will all be outside.

I think byo best as can be a real headache accounting for dietary requirements, allergies, medical needs and personal preferences. Plus as has been said that way you won’t get the blame for any dodgy food/tummies.

I’m in but probably not taking part depending on when it is. It was a good laugh the last time.

Keep it simple. Be flexible with games/ abilities and weather.

There should be forfeits for anyone cheating.

Great stuff, given who might be attending a klaxon might be more effective!
