For the last three years we have had a very well attended Yearly Bar be Que at the Crooked Billet in Stanford Le Hope in Essex on a Bank Holiday Sunday in April or May.
This year’s event is going to be on Bank Holiday Sunday 27th August 2006. We have moved it to later in the year to hopefully get some better weather than we have had in the past, when we have had the event earlier in the year.
The Bar be Que will start at around 12.00am and will probably run until around 6pm. You are welcome to stay later if you so wish.
Attracting around 48-53 cars each year, the Essex Meet yearly Bar be Que is an ideal place to catch up with other members, if you missed JAE a few weeks back.
A very friendly atmosphere will be found by all owners and new members are more than welcome to attend.
Food is being laid on by the club, but you will have to be a paid up member to obtain it for free.
A varied range of modified cars will be turning up giving all GTO/3000GT owners something to look at.
Would you please post below if you are going to attend the Bar be Que, so we can get some ides of the numbers for food.
