Staff let their hair down at August Bank Holiday BBQ
As has been tradition for many years, Walberton & Binsted recently held their annual August Bank Holiday all staff BBQ and ‘games’. The end of season celebration was originally a Binsted Nursery event, with Walberton Nursery joining in some years later. The nurseries took it in turns each year to supply and cook the food, and from 2010 to 2015 the BBQ lunch was followed by the ‘Walberton vs. Binsted’ football match to win the coveted Burnt Banger Cup. Walberton are current holders of the Cup but in 2016 Binsted held the ‘Binberton Olympics’, which, it is fair to say, they won hands down.
The joint event will no doubt continue to evolve and for the 2017 BBQ, it was held in Walberton Nursery’s garden with a non-competitive bungee run added for a bit of fun! The food was bought and cooked jointly, with Chefs Daria and Camilla assisted by Sous Chefs Gracie and Kinga, and both Management Teams and staff joined in for both the preparations and post lunch bungee fun. Marc Jones, now Managing Director of both nurseries under the banner of Tristram Plants, gave a post lunch talk to staff on the achievements of the season, and the event was a great success.
