Summer BBQ
Summer BBQ
Presented by: The Committee
A casual evening of food incinerated by the committee, and washed down with a glass or two of your favourite tipple.
A great way to relax and reflect on our year so far.... the latest in PPE fashion we'd like to wear, the swabs we've given and the needles we've had jabbed into our arms. A chance to compare AstraZeneca and Phizer side effects too. Oh... and we might also talk about the photos we've taken, the ones that got away, the projects that we'd like to do, and the kit we want to buy!
This event is for TPC members and their invited guests only.
