The community enjoyed our traditional Summer event on the afternoon of Sunday 22 June 2025 at the Royal Brussels Cricket Club, Lasne. This fun family day out featured typical British food and drink including a BBQ, cream teas, and the famous Timm's Pimm’s Bar!

The refreshments were complimented by a live cricket match, a raffle and traditional children’s games. The occasion was graced by UK Ambassador to the Court of Belgium and BBCA Honorary President Anne Sheriff, who helped draw the raffle.

All the pictures here were taken by BBCA committee member Simon Pascoe and you can find more of his pictures from the day here.

Entrance was free to all and surplus proceeds will be distributed to BBCA constituent charities: the Community Help Service, the British Charitable Fund, the Brussels Branch of the Royal British Legion and The Wednesday Club.

A relaxed crowd enjoyed some increasingly typical Belgian summer sunshine and a closely fought cricket match.

Our thanks to everyone who attended. This year we experimented with a car shuttle service between the RBCC and Braine L’Alleud trains station thanks to Chris ‘Taxi!’ Dalton.

Huge thanks to Ryan from Stonemanor for the BBQ, all BBCA committee members and friends who helped to make the event such a success, and a special thank you to Nikki Hayes, our events coordinator, and past BBCA Chair Glenn Vaughan, who postponed birthday celebrations to be with us on the day.

Cheers – and here’s to the next time!
