Just had a huge storm which started at 7am and looks like there are more on the way, so writing this quickly before we loose the internet and electricity again. Do hope everyone has seen the message re the BBQ and our appologies for anyone who does not. We have emailed and sent messages to as many people as we can. Looking forward to the start of Summer!

What a flaming nightmare!

This mornings storm moved down into Abruzzo around 8am and what a corker it was too!The sun is out now, so hot and steamy, but I feel sure this will just add to the energy building up in the atmosphere and he storms will be back by mid afternoon. Oh joy.Good luck with the next date. I hope we can make it.I'll now email all the people I know who made donations. Most are in the UK (which has been enjoying sunshine and 30c+ for the past week!) and I'm sure they'll be mightily bemused about our weather problem.Buona domenica

Weather seems to know our BBQ date

Think that theres someone up there in the clouds, that decides to "rain on our parade" every Sunday for the last 3 weeks. Hopefully, some of the UK weather that they had for Wimbledon will arrive shortly. If it's going to be on an evening, then do we all bring "mozzie" repellant?

What about turning your BBQ
Submitted by Valentina+c on Mon, 07/06/2009 - 07:17In reply to A newbie all over again! by Annec
What about turning your BBQ into a different event? Maybe a party under a covered roof so that you could enjoy the event without troubles.

Covered event?
Submitted by Andrew on Mon, 07/06/2009 - 08:45In reply to What about turning your BBQ by Valentina+c
Ciao Valentina;Whilst in theory the English would revert to the phrase "If wet in the Village Hall" we simply don't have the facilities, and the risk of lighting a Barbeque indoors is risky to say the least...The venue for the Barbeque - "The Hideaway" - is one of the most picturesque that you could imagine, and the event will be greatly enhanced by the scenery and landscapes. We also need some room for a series of funny games including the use of an inflatable Martin Johnson (England Rugby Manager) and a number of hula-hoops.Whether we hold the event indoors or outside the attendance will always be determined by the weather, simply as people won't turn out in the numbers we hope to attract unless the weather is kind to us. We're hoping for 50 paying guests at least.Access to "The Hideaway" is difficult when the weather is bad, but I can assure you that once you're there it's well worth it!

See I knew he would come

See I knew he would come to our BBQ - just stopping by to meet the people of L'Aquila first before he is on his way to Amandola! What a lovely thought. Clooney coming to L'Aquila Hope it raises the profile of the people of L'Aquila still living in the tents - it can't be much fun in all this rain - we have no right to complain about the weather really do we, sat watching the rain come down from the comfort of our own homes. Just lets try and raise as much as we can for them at our BBQ, whenever it may be!
