Last year's BBQ was great!  It was fun to bring my sweetie & kids to a
Users Group event.

I suggest the second Saturday, June 9, but Wednesday, June 6 would be
fine, too, if folks can attend midweek.  Might it be difficult to have
a late night on a Wednesday if some kids are still in school?

Jordy?

Grilled flesh & veggies get my vote - open pit.  Maybe with a twist
though... how about a grilled sausage, grilled beef, grilled fruit,
grilled veggies contest?

Board games afterward would be great!

Short(less than one hour) games nominations:

Perudo(Liar's Dice variant)

Coyote (another bluffing game where every one has numbered cards in a
headband - fun to watch & fun to play)

I suggest using a wiki for signups to help coordinate the event.
Here's what was done last year:
