BBQ

[tom]

now its getting warm and theres a lovely long weekend break coming up
we should consider some sort of hackspace BBQ!
Somewhere outside and parky with beer!

Anyone interested?

[Jim MacArthur]

Very yes.

[Dave Ingram]

Hell yes. +111

[Elliot West]

May I suggest Shoreditch park:

Pros:

Big open-space for SCIENCE!

Not too far from the hackspace

Co-op nearby for booze/meats/disposable BBQs

Nice pub nearby (Rosemary branch)

Cons:

No WiFi coverage - 3G is fine however

[Elliot West]

<zooms out on GMaps>

Haggerston park looks good too :)

[Toby Catlin]

Victoria park is great for a BBQ. Brilliant butcher (Ginger pig) & fish monger next to the park.

[Adrian Godwin]

Can I repeat the invitation to the Northackton BBQ etc. on may 2nd ?

It's a BBQ, you're supposed to be social, not merely "sitting with people who are being social"!

Poggs

[Dave Ingram]

Wait, sitting with people isn't being social?

So that's what I've been getting wrong!

BBQs don't need to follow rules. Only people (and robots) need to follow rules.

Chris

[Sam Cook]

also the rules only apply within the space and to sentient flame vulnerable beings so unless someone has been uplifting non-flame-proof BBQs and we host it in the space we should be ok

I, like many people I suspect, have a kite. Does anyone have a phone
that will run Qik (that they don't mind impacting the ground at high
velocity) to try some aerial videoing? :-)

[Sunkzero]

I have an old rooted G1 waiting for a use, that should do it...

[Chris Foote (Spike)]

Also, if the BBQ is *not* a paying member it is not subject to Rule zero.

Sx

[Earthshine]

Sounds like great idea.

[tom]

and i've got a couple of near-death nokias we can use!

So it is OK to set fire to visitors then :-)

I don't have a dog that I'd be willing to launch into the air but I do
have a couple of those small USB video camera things that I've prevously
taken skywards via both a kite and a small whirley bird.

[Sunkzero]

If there is decent 3G signal, nothing to stop us setting up a temporary wifi AP using the 3G network, a few quid will buy a few payg gb for the day :-D

I did let a hack space member borrow my 3G modem, along with a PAYG card, the device is a MiFi.. If that person is interested in bringing it, then that's one additional useful hotspot available.

[Sam Cook]

I'm pretty sure we can find a spot near the entrance to the park to set up a receiver and piggy back off of someone else's wifi if we really want

We were talking yesterday about setting up a long-range wifi antenna and aiming it at the BT Tower (because they have wifi, and those of us who visited now know the key).

Do we actually have a BBQ rig for this? Because there's a large
half-barrel sort being thrown out up the road from me today. It looked
like it's never been used (paint intact) but I didn't check for rust
damage. Half-barrel in a simple wheeled frame.
I was more interested in the old power tools being thrown out too.

It'd be hard to get into town on the train, and we don't have storage
space even temporarily for it here. However I could possibly move it
from their front garden to outs, but I'd need someone to come collect it
ASAP.

so which weekend is best?

I vote for Easter Weekend. But I'll probably cancel part of the
hackweekend and come a long if you chose next weekend. It would be
cruel to make people work when there is park and BBQ available.

[Sam Cook]

I nominate the Saturday of Easter weekend (mainly because I'm playing 'suspected!' on the southbank on the Sunday).

Erm, I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but has anyone checked that
barbecues and alcohol is permitted in said park?

It's common practice in Shoreditch park - whatever the rules say. 

[Jim MacArthur]

The date is more important than the venue at the moment. 

Saturday of Easter weekend works well for me.

[Earthshine]

:(

Easter Weekend is no good for me.

[Sam Cook]

this can be easily solved: more BBQs!

I would be more than happy to do this most weekends when the weather is good.

Looking at the Doodle it looks like Monday the 25th is a good first
BBQ attempt day.

We can always have a barbeque another day if the first one is rained
off, or people are suffering from serious charred meat deficiencies.

I shall put it on the calender it in a bit.

Will

[Dave Durant]

Indeed - we have a time and date. Now, where...?

Well volunteered to check!

In other words I've had a quick google but I can't find any info, yay
or nay.

Will

[Elliot West]

Which park? - as stated earlier - these actions are permitted (at least informally) in Shoreditch Park.

Seriously: it's not a problem. 

[Dave Durant]

> Shoreditch Park

This is the only suggestion so far - anyone else got an alternative or
are we okay for there?

[Will Pearson]

By the silence, I am declaring Shoreditch park the place to meet,
anyone know where is a good place to congregate? The space first?

I think the space is a good idea means we can pool resources for carrying stuff etc.

Hi there id'll like to participate in the BBQ to is there any help needed?

if seen we have a date and a place. what do I have to bring? my own food?

thanks

Please read the planning page[1].  The wiki is the standard place for formal pages that change over time.  We're not here to translate that into email for you.

Just to clarify, because that came out a bit flippantly:

The wiki is for developing pages that need the most correct and up-to-date information.  Anything that changes quickly is best put on there.  The mailing list is generally used for sounding out ideas with the almost 1000 people with an interest in the space, and for making last minute announcements (because not everyone follows Twitter).  However, any arrangements on the mailing list should be made on the wiki.  Forwarding stuff to the list guarantees that some people have older, filtered information, and usually means there's stuff missing on the wiki page.

[Katie Sutton]

Offered on the wiki page, but just in case others don't look and/or I
entirely forget to look at the wiki page again between now and the BBQ
- would it be useful for me to bring along a first aid kit in case of
injury/burns/etc.?

2011/4/23 Katie Sutton <ka...@tajasel.org>

I too am cancelling but rather than due to work it's due to back pain (hooray for forward flips over car bonnets from the back of a bike). 

Hopefully I'll make it to the next one

I just got confirmation from work that I can go to the bbq, yeah!!!

Sorry, all excited. :D

If I turn up at the space at around 1200-1230, can someone else direct
my clueless arse to the park?

I believe we are all to meet at the space

Nah, I'd rather keep the pain there to stop me making it worse; I've already had a couple of lovely moments of other enthusiastic turning resulting in a yelp and cursing. To be fair as long as I don't strain etc it's not too bad. 

Thanks though

[Dave (DMI) Ingram]

What time are people arriving at the space? I'm getting to Waterloo at
12, so I'll probably get to the space for half past.

Leaving my bbq tools behind, if some could remember to take them back to the space and let me know where theyve been stashed, that would be great.

[Earthshine]

So, how did the BBQ go?

[tom]

too much drink

I picked them up and stashed them in my rucksack. However they weren't
in my rucksack after I got back to the space(as my bag got taken to
the space in a car). So I don't know where they went,
