BBQ at Tone's in the afternoon - lighting-up time is 2.00pm, so meet in town at the 'Floozie in the Jacuzzi' around 1.30pm to catch the 126 to Tone's. (Outside Lloyds TSB on Broad St (by Registrars office) or down Hill street.
Chap, Jan, Ted, Ian, Steve and Fran meet up in town at the FiJ in somewhat rainy circumstances. We lobbed on to the 126 to travel to Tone's hoping for a break in the inclement weather.
Arriving at Tone's around 2 ish we were greeted by Tone in full 'barbie' mode i.e the Hawaiian beach shorts, etc just about to light the BBQ. Birthday boy Rog and Kim were already there and we were joined by Sim, Alan and a few others during the proceedings. Phil had made his polite excuses (attending some sort of 'Gay Pride' event in Brighton) and Dave not knowing what to do as his plans were in disarray!!.
Plenty of good grub & ale were consumed, and although it did dry up a bit, the sun failed to materialize leaving a rather chilly afternoon/early evening with people hiding underneath sun brollies and huddling around the BBQ.
