** Kate a bunch of cupcakes would be great
* Food for the BBQ, if were still coooking, the usual? sausages, burgers, chicken?
** how much and where from?
** Batches

=== Drinks ===
* '''BYOB??''' --[[User:Lwk|Lwk]] 17:46, 21 May 2011 (BST)
* Can we avoid licensing? 
* Should I get a temporary licence?
**(Getting a license is difficult, you need to pay for and take an exam, and be registered. It's unlawful to sell alcohol without one. Sometimes places without them get around it by running a "donation bar", with suggested donations for drinks. BYOB probably easiest).
