Friends of Spurn Barbecue 2021

A great (damp!) night was had by all at the Friends of Spurn BBQ.

10 August 2021

A bird wings quiz provided by Rich Swales was a good break to use our brains between the burgers and beers, and through donations, and another classic Exley raffle, £400 was raised for the Obs'. Thanks to all who came or donated prizes - it was so good to all be back together.

The caption was as important as the image - and the participants thoroughly delivered on both fronts!
