Open Fires

I have been asked to clarify the policy on open fires at the Bash. Lickhill Manor's policy is that open fires are not allowed in any circumstances. This includes firepits, braziers and even "raised platform" campfires. The policy was introduced because of the danger of embers settling on awnings and tents.

The only exception is small barbecues which are allowed providing they are off the ground.

Please respect the site rules, they are there for a reason.

Does this also include BBQs (off the ground) that are kept alight after cooking by adding fuel? Might be worth clarifying.

Why on earth would you do that? A BBQ is for cooking. Once cooking is over, there's no point in adding fuel........unless you are thinking of having a late sausage. :lol:

Some people do this as an excuse to keep a fire going without breaking rules.

I find a fire extinguisher usually solves the problem

A SuperSoaker and assistant dragging a paddling pool full of water might be as effective :-)
