What's that... did I hear word BBQ? hahaha. I love it here on the island, but no such thing as real BBQ here :( This does sound like a good idea though. Heck if it was just a 1 or 2 day thing over a weekend a lot of people could come without even having to take time off work. For those who couldn't make it I suppose you could setup a webcam or two, maybe have some live music or something too. Could be a lot of fun... I think it would be worth organizing something like that - you should start a new thread with the idea and see what kind of response it generates.
