27.06.2009 12:00 to 23:30
*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zug
Event Type: Other
Meeting Point: The beach!

Well as I'm sure you've all noticed, the warmer weather is on the way and winter seems to have given up - spring might turn out to be rainy but who cares

So it's put me in the mood for summer, and since last year SwissMiss2000 and I never actually got around to planning the big Zug BBQ that we talked about, here it is nice and early before I forget

There's already a grill down by the beach so come along with things to chuck on the BBQ, bring your families, friends, towels, suncream, volleyballs, snorkels, bucket and spades, you name it, the idea is just to get a big crowd together and have a laugh.

And if only two people turn up, well at least we won't have to fight over whose chicken legs go on the grill first.

See you there in June!

Terry

Looked at the long long range forecast for June 27th. Snow and sleet and floods expected.

Re: Zug Summer BBQ Extravaganza

Terry- are you thinking by the camping area? If so might want to get this started early since the grills go quick.

Re: Zug Summer BBQ Extravaganza

Usually I'm as "last minute" as anyone else, which is why this never happened for 2008 - technically rather than being 4 months early, this is 8 months late

Yep I was thinking the one by the camping area - might be worth trying to find a map with it on, I wasn't sure of the address hence why it just says "The Beach"

And I dunno what you mean about cursing the weather, most of this mornings snow has melted and there's a tiny patch of blue sky that I can see... (well, til tomorrow anyway)

Re: Zug Summer BBQ Extravaganza

Right, this thread needs a bump

Who's up for a camping weekend to extend the lols to Terry's guitar solos?

(There's a rhyme in the there somewhere...)

The weather looks set to be fine and dry, and I can think nothing better than a night under the stars of the Zugersee...

Re: Zug Summer BBQ Extravaganza

I was on the train earlier, and I overhead a really bizarre conversation...

"I have free tickets to the St Gallen Open-Air"
"Sorry, I can't go, I'm heading to the EF Zug Beach BBQ Extravaganza"
"Really?? Wow golly, I wish I could go too!"

Well, now you can!

This is probably the worst bump ever, by the way.

Shameless bump.... amusing though.

Mama G is back today so I'll confirm over the weekend, would it be ok to bring dogs..... not to BBQ... unless they mis-behave. Where about is it on the lake your are thinking about, and would you want any help to organise it?

Yep, dogs are more than welcome.

It's the man-made beach part which is around the lake towards Cham... RetiredInNH added a link earlier in the thread.

Help to organise - um, shouldn't really take too much organising really - there's already a grill there, it's more of a social thing than a formal organised day out - come and go as and when you choose, with dogs / family / food / drinks / frisbees / etc, there's plenty of space for everyone

Re: Zug Summer BBQ Extravaganza

I'm presuming this is a bring your own food and drink event. If anyone is considering travelling from Zurich, perhaps it'd be an idea to hire a minibus so it's comfort all the way?

I'm still intending to make it a camping weekend, so if anyone else is up for a bottle of whisky and a mellow mood around the fire on the Friday and later on the Saturday night you'd be more than welcome to join Although not in my tent, unless your surname is Jolie... or Hall...

Re: Zug Summer BBQ Extravaganza

It is a BYOB&BBQ event

Parking is limited . If your local best way to come is with a bicycle The closest train stop is Schutzengel with the S1 train.

I'm confused. The one indicated above is not the BBQ beach near the nudist beach, is it?
