OVAS Club BBQ: Saturday, June 25 - 12:00 to 3:00PM Andrew Haydon Park

[sidarnold]

Good Morning. Please accept the Executive's invitation to join us for a OVAS sponsored BBQ at Andrew Haydon Park the afternoon of Saturday, June 25. OVAS will be providing hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, and snacks to accompany your lunch. Feel free to bring any additional food items or drinks as you see fit. Just a note that this is a non-alcoholic event as our permit with the City of Ottawa is limited to that.

Andrew Haydon Park is just off of Carling Avenue in the west end of the city. Our picnic site is "C2 Blue" which is immediately west of the Andrew Haydon Park Bldg.. Enter the park at the main entrance and turn left - our site is quite close to the park road and their is plenty of parking in the immediate area (please take note of the attached image file).

Exec members will be securing the site starting at 10 AM with the gas BBQ arriving approximately around 11 AM. Dogs and burgers will probably go on the grill sometime after 12 noon.

If you have not previously RSVPd us can we ask that you do so before this Thursday. Hope to see many of you there.

Just a quick addendum to the above. If participants would bring dessert that would be greatly appreciated. Please let us know what you might be bringing so as to avoid duplication. Thanks again.

And an additional addendum: feel free to bring appetizers or salads for the enjoyment of all participants. Thanks again for your support of OVAS and this event.

Just did a lunch time recon of our picnic site. Nicely shaded with several large trees.

Only one picnic table (chained to a tree) so we will not be able to move any additional tables from the park area.

PLEASE make sure that you bring a chair with you for every person in your group.

See you tomorrow and thanks for participating.

Great day for a BBQ.
We had a nice shaded area with a nice breeze.
Food was excellent and the company was great.

Thanks for putting on the BBQ.  I didn't eat last night from being so full.  Sorry for not eating any desserts to those who brought it, I just couldn't.
