2026 Umpteenth Annual Picnic

Our Umpteenth annual picnic is one of our most anticipated events, and with good reason: Every year we supply an extraordinary beer selection backed up by a seemingly endless feast of fantastic foods provided by our amazing members; some who go for glory by entering hotly contested competitions, and others who take pride in simply sharing their creations. However you choose to participate, it is you, our members, who make this event so special year after year.

The picnic is always a great day out, and we want to ensure that this event continues to be a pleasurable experience as a thank-you to our members. Please note that this is very popular event so do not hesitate to reserve your tickets. If you cannot use your tickets, please let us know so we can allocate them to another member.

This year we have made some adjustments to the competitor categories. Ribs, ChiliPitmaster, and Other Meats return, but this year we’re bringing in Veggies & Vegan and Desserts as additional categories.
