Good weather, good turnout, good food, good time . . . CMCSSM BBQ a great success

Sunday, August 17 2014

Hi everyone:

I'd like to say "thank you" to everyone who came out and spent the afternoon with us on such a beautiful day.  I'm glad that you enjoyed yourselves on the ride and at the barbecue.

It was really nice to see some of our members who haven't had a chance to ride with the chapter for a while.  Nice to have you back on board.

I'd also like to thank our 2nd officer Needles for taking us on such a nice relaxing ride along the back roads of Goulais and Batchawana past the historic mission church that made one think how it must have been a century or more ago.

 

From the old church, Brewster led the group to his waterfront home where we had some group photos taken.  Thanks to Brewster's wife, Chrissy, for taking  the pictures and Brewster for sharing the great view from his backyard with the breeze blowing in off the lake. Thank you both.

The ride ended at the home of Needles and DD who had offered to host the club barbecue.  In addition to those who went on the ride, others came by car to enjoy this special club event.  It was a great time to take photos with the motorcycles lined up side - by - side and so many members and guests present.

Needles and DD's sprawling lawn and Ladder Toss game provided everyone an opportunity to try their hand at a new "sport".  It's a game where two teams of two had to shoot two golf balls joined by a rope and wrap them around one of three horizontal bars. Whichever team got 10 points first, won the game.  It wasn't as easy as we all thought but after a few minutes we started to catch on.  Everyone had a good time and a few laughs throwing our balls around.

DD and MrsEchoBay had prepared all the food which was brought outside for everyone to enjoy. And that they did!  Needles fired up his barbecue and cooked up burgers, sausages, hot dogs and toasted buns for everyone to enjoy.

Everyone was having a great time which had been our goal from the start.

Thank you Needles & DD for having the barbecue at your home, your company, your beautiful yard, great hospitiality and all that great food.

Hopefully, we can do this again in the future.
