There has recently been a serious barbecue fire at the Club which occurred as a result of accumulated fat in the collection tray. Only prompt action by Brendon Lee prevented more extensive damage.
The barbecues were donated by Doug Curlewis some years ago and were modified with removal of a small drip tray under the large fat collection tray. Fat will therefore accumulate unless manually removed.
This incident is a reminder that each barbecue must be cleaned after every use. If you do not clean it, do not assume that someone else will do it for you.
New signage reminding users to clean the barbecues will soon be installed.
Many thanks to Brendon for his quick action, to Doug Curlewis for donating a replacement and to Alan Farman for commissioning it so quickly.
