James17 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thank you for the welcome everyone. Great to meet some like minded peeps. Everyone loves coming to mine for food, but they never return the favour, ironically I don’t mind because the joy of serving an epic spread that everyone appreciates is enough joy. In in the words of Harry Soo. Spread BBQ love. Also id rather eat my food and drink their booze! @Justin would love to meet up @Raptor72 I’m a member of Boyce hill golf club so I’m in Benfleet all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
