The casual BBQ at some kind of car show would be good, especially if we could sort out a few bits each so it all comes together rather than all doing our own thing - unless that's what the individual wants of course.
Taking it a half a step further. Admittedly it might be a bit harder on the logistics side (but maybe lower risk of food poisoning

) if we could rig up a camp fire or something to cook on and a couple of big saucepans we could take the Italian theme outdoors with a freshly made penne amatriciana/arrabiata or bologneses or something that just needs warming through, boil up water for the pasta, a bit of foccacia, some salad. Bliss.
If numbers are known you or me could easily knock up a batch of a simple sauce, someone get the bread, another the salad and Bob's your aunty.

-er than a BBQ AO-stylee.
