Northern Cocks LGBTQ+ badminton club is celebrating its 6th birthday! To commemorate this day, Pete and James are hosting a summertime social BBQ. 🎂 🎈 🎁
Location: Pete & James house (DM for address)
Time: 12pm – 8pm
BBQ will be in operation 1-2pm
Food will be provided, so no need to bring any, but please bring what you would like to drink. 🥤
Please be aware that we have a new sofa so would request no drinks on or around the sofa please! 🛋️
IMPORTANT – Oasis 🎸 will be playing in Heaton Park (3pm-11pm) which will bring a host of obstacles.
Travel: we would recommend getting the tram to Bowker Vale (Bury Line), we are a short walk from this stop. Should you wish to drive, there should be plenty of parking outside but you must display something with our address in the windscreen or else you’ll get a ticket, so speak to us. 🎫
We have set the BBQ timing specifically so that people can avoid the crowds/mayhem. By around 8pm, we will begin heading to the gay village for anyone who wishes to continue partying. 🕺 This will avoid the mass Oasis exodus.
Our street (along with many others) will be closed to road users from 9.30pm, but on the plus side, it is used as a taxi rank. So getting a taxi would be fairly easy!
The day is set to be a scorcher!!! So please equip yourself with sun cream, hats, etc. Do try to drink responsibly if you can 🤣
We do have a hot tub in the garden which comfortably sits 6 people. You are welcome to take advantage of this, so bring some speedos if you’d like to pop in 🛁👙
There is a poll on the announcements chat to confirm your attendance. It would be very highly appreciated if you could ensure you have ticked a box if you plan to attend, as I will be buying all the food tomorrow.
Our Saturday badminton session has been cancelled in order for us to come together and celebrate Northern Cocks, the progress the club has made, and the amazing community it has built. Join us for a catch up and burger. 🍔 ❤️🏸
