Dunhurst Summer Barbecue

by Beth Garabet
Dark clouds, rumbles of thunder and intermittent heavy rain showers during the day did not deter the ever-smiling and eternally optimistic Dunhurst Parents’ Group from hosting another highly successful barbeque this year. Although we were not blessed with the scorching temperatures of last year the rain held off and the sun even peeked through the clouds on several occasions throughout the evening. Basil Garabet and Michael Johnson valiantly did battle with the smoking, flaming beast of a grill that is the Bedales barbeque and produced a seemingly endless supply of tasty burgers and succulent sausages. These were served alongside a selection of delicious salads and washed down with large frosty glasses of Pimm’s. The children were kept busy on the bouncy castle and, a new addition this year, an electronic surf board. Many thanks to all who attended; to the hard working committee and their spouses; to the Hopit committee; to Jane Goodger for tirelessly painting the children’s faces and to the ex-Dunhurstians, Johnny Welch, Lucy Johnson and Tom Garabet who helped all evening.
