On Oct. 19 a wonderful Grillin’ & Chillin’ party was the order of the day when 39 members of the British Club gathered together at the SaddleBrooke One tennis pavilion at 3:30 p.m. Braving the cooler front that came in, everyone was wrapped up and enjoying the camaraderie of members and friends as they listened to the brilliant live music featuring SaddleBrooke resident Sean Lewis.
Nigel Hawkins, donning his Burger King crown, was our own personal chef, mastering the BBQ with delicious choices of hamburgers and brats, which were accompanied by buns, potato chips, and a selection of condiments. Members contributed tasty side dishes, which consisted of a selection of bean, pasta, and green salads and baked beans. Delectable desserts consisted of pumpkin bread pudding, chocolate cake, trifle, and a fresh fruit platter with Meyer lemon cookies. Members brought their own beverage of choice.
Everyone agreed it was a fun way to spend the evening and thanked Lynne Pendlebury and Mike Sachse for hosting this really fun event.
