Aside from these serious issues there are also the ones that tick off even the most easy going fellow. Remember that these events costs the hosts a whack of cash and therefore the couple bucks requested for a dinner per se should not be looked upon by the attendees as being a tacky or cheap request. Afterall there is plenty of work involved from buying groceries, to setting up tents, tables BBQs etc, cooking and on and on. Personally I really applaud those of us who go the extra mile to put on such affairs.

Chris, You speak of the minority, but all it takes is one incident to spoil an event. By in large, the Hammond BB series has been blessed with no injuries and we intend to keep it that way. Quirky personalities are welcomed as long as those personaities embrace safety as the paramount consideration. Consideration for the host should rank a close second.

It takes all sorts to make a hobby a success and we have seen plenty of personalities come and go in this neck of the woods. For those who embrace the hobby and contribute to it, I salute you. Come on out to Hammond this summer and take advantage of Bob's hospitality and sense of humour. A good, safe time will be had by all, or you answer to our wives!
