Summer 2026 Annual BBQ

​

Our annual group BBQ was once again held at Debbie’s home and garden, following the success of last year’s event. We are extremely grateful to Debbie for kindly opening her home to the group and providing such a welcoming setting for the day. It was particularly pleasing to see several new members joining us and enjoying the occasion.

​

The day began with a choice of two walks, led by Mike and Luba, who each took a group out to explore the beautiful South Leicestershire countryside. The weather was kind to us, remaining dry throughout the event, with some welcome sunshine making an appearance as everyone settled down to enjoy the BBQ.

​

A total of 38 members attended, exactly matching last year’s numbers and highlighting the continued popularity of this annual gathering. Once again, we followed the successful format established in previous years, ensuring there was plenty of food to cater for all tastes. With the support and hard work of the committee, everything came together smoothly and the event proved to be another great success.

​

The cost increased slightly this year to £12 per person, which covered all the associated expenses and still represented excellent value for a full day of walking, food and good company.

​

With beautiful weather, delicious food and plenty of friendly conversation, it was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Above all, it was a wonderful opportunity for members to come together, celebrate our shared love of walking and enjoy the strong sense of friendship and community that makes our group so special.
