We have a new date for the 2023 edition of the BCCME Bounce & BBQ. Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 19 — same place, same time!

This year marks our 18th annual Bounce & BBQ!

Every year at the BBQ, we also hold our Annual meeting and elections. We’re always looking for folks to help out, so if you want to chair a new committee, join an existing committee, or are considering running for an office or the Board, just say the word.

Membership Renewal Time!

The BBQ marks the time for all good Mainiacs to renew their club memberships! Hustle on over to the Join Us! page to download the printable form or renew online.

NOTE: Please plan to re-up this year. We didn’t make any money last year, and we still need to pay our event insurance, our annual tribute to BCCA, and other expenses.

What To Bring

The club traditionally supplies the burgers and buns, so we’ll take care of that part. We’ll also supply the paper plates, cups, plasticware, napkins, condiments, and all that. You can still bring snacks, drinks, side dishes, desserts, or whatever else inspires you. If you want something else for an entree, definitely bring it.

Here’s what else you can bring:

  • Your lovely selves
  • Your Beardies
  • Chairs
  • EZ-Ups or other shelter from the sun
  • Bug spray
  • Something for the potluck
  • Your checkbook (for membership renewals)
  • Cash (for raffle tickets)
  • Pens (for the annual election ballots)

If you’re not sure what to bring for the potluck and would like ideas, email Val or use our handy-dandy RSVP form below. She’ll know whether everyone is signing up to bring potato salad.
