Barbecuing at Hartham
Does anyone know what (if any) the rules are about having a barbecue on Hartham Park? I noticed a family having a barbecue today, and it looks like a lovely idea. Last year, a group of families had set up a huge gazebo and wheeled out a large barbecue for a group party. Again, it looked like a lot of fun and I quite fancy doing the same, but I thought there maybe some rules about this?

Yes I noticed this family today it would be interesting to know about the rules on having a barbecue at Hartham Common.
It certainly looked like they were having fun and the chap sitting on the deck chair in charge of the barbecue had a stone slab on the grass so no scorch marks would be left in the grass.
They disposed of the rubbish at the bins in the car park and even disposed of the barbecue tin in the re-cycling bin provided, good on them.
The dog they had was on a leader attached to a screw down stake in the ground, the children were well behaved and so was the chaps wife.
They had chicken breast and chicken legs, bacon wrapped around sausauges, salad and bread rolls, hellmans mayonaise,English mustard and tomato ketchup.
It was washed down with Robinsons tropical juice and Robinsons peach fruit and barley.
I eagerly await to know the rules on barbecueing so next time I can go over and spoil the fun.
Before the barbecue the 4 girls 2 of them there Daughters and the other 2 girls friends of theirs had a swim at Hartham pool.
They certainly made most of the glorious weather today and I hope they can repeat this in the near future regading on the rules of babecueing.

They do this in Perth, Australia as a public service for a dollar each. Puts us to shame. However, this little story has reaffirmed my faith in this green and pleasent land. Until the council tell them to stop as it causes a public nuisance.

I chuckled at the notion of the wife being "well behaved". How does one achieve that then?

Achieved by Husband always doing what he's told to and only speaking when spoken to.
It's the same with badly behaved dogs and children - in general, poor behaviour is the fault of the owner.

Ah I get it now. Like dogs and children, usually poor training or not enough dicipline.[:D]
