British BBQ Society Forums

I wonder if any sponsors would like to get the BBQ pit boys out here. They do seem to travel to BBQ events all around the world (for a fee I presume). I wonder if some of the big boys like Weber would like to sponsor their trip out. Not necessarily for a competition event - but something like a food festival where ready-steady-q will be at.

Not something I would be interested in organising but someone out there may?

You are more involved in the scene than most - bring it up with them

Stepping back and letting others finally take over! Looking forward to the good life

Who are the 'others'?

There are lots of barbecue organisations / events in the UK, some organise things others dont, they include

National BBQ Association
British BBQ Association
UK BBQ Association
Grillstock
Laverstoke Park

I will happily sanction low and slow events ie provide the rules, judges etc but I will no longer organise them. I am focusing on Ready Steady q and Kids Q plus the forum which will be going through some changes in a couple of months time.

Maybe we'll be able to taste what I've been told, by those with L O N G memories , is some great Q

Mind you on the Tom & Barbara level you've got the "garden" for it, if not the neighbours

Hi Toby,

Will this mean that MIM in 2013 will be the last BBBQS Pitmasters event you organise?

Would be a great reason to get everyone together if so.

MIM was brilliant last year.

I am pretty sure it will be the last one i directly organise here as we are putting in planning permission for 60 houses on the field. We are of course able to sanction comps and I know the one at the beginning of June is going to be a cracker. Our brands such as pitmasters will continue through sanctioning.

I am sure MIM will be better this year due to it being back on a bank holiday weekend which always helps. Want it to be a fun foody weekend so if anyone has any ideas they want to try out let me know, it will be nice to finish on a high.
