Put it on a Stick

Beyond the inspiration, education and entertainment and the opportunity for sports clubs to create new revenue streams, is the Fireside Chat, bringing people together to share stories and experiences. To talk or not talk.

The team environment and its support structure does not stop when the final whistle blows, or stumps are drawn.

BBQ magazine’s Put it on a Stick initiative is to help sports clubs and their wider local communities re-connect, addressing issues around mental wellbeing and mindfulness, combating loneliness and isolation.

Fire is a powerful metaphor for renewal and resilience, cooking food on a stick for nourishment, before throwing the stick in the flames, symbolising casting off negative thoughts, with positive ones rising from the ashes.

Clubs receive a conversation toolkit and ideas for meaningful engagement around the fire. Download resources, explore case studies, as communal experiences break down barriers, nurture communication, bringing laughter and sharing sadness around the fire, with food the ultimate community connection.
