I'm up for London - it'll be DS 1st birthday and still BF! What time / where do we meet?

"Protect My Baby, Protect Me"

Well, I've done to promo blog post, explaining it all out, and sending out the first invitation.

Everyone can use the URL to spread the message out further than these communities.

So can we ask you to propagate, propagate, propagate!

Also , can anyone draw? We'd like an illustration to got with "Protect My Baby, Protect Me"

And we have a poster image we'd like to photograph... if we have any photographers!

Protect Me, Protect My Baby

That's a great headline.

Posters would be great.

I'd love to come to the London one

If DS doesn't have a(nother) nursing strike then

I can do York. is 21st July a Monday? would have to book day off work.

Another one who will be pregnant and breastfeeding

I'd be happy to organise something in Birmingham, if I can get advice etc from people who have done this sort of thing. I should be able to co-opt a good non-MN people.

On the Facebook one - can we just be clear that it's ONLINE. So if you join up for the facbook event, you don't have to go in person! Got people saying "Oh we'd love to go, but I'm stuck that day!" Thats' why it's a facebook event, so you can attend online!!!

What would I need to get a picnic organised (apart from people, which I should be able to manage).

Has someone sorted banners / leaflets and suchlike? I can get small stuff printed at work, but what else would be needed?

</newbie>

Could anyone who has photos from last year's event, go to the facebook site and post them? Many thanks!! :-))))

Any one in here know of or work for anyone who can make placards?

Have we got a list of venues yet? London, York, NE seem popular - is there anything else down South for those wimps among us would prefer not to brave central London/tube with buggy, even for our right to bare boobs in public.

We're a bit like the swans at the moment, gliding along seemingly calm, but paddling like crazy under the surface.

It's takes a day or two for each person in each area, to check with the police etc, on how to book their own spot, so we will let everyone know other places as and when the bookings are confirmed.

is there one in York?

SuburbanDryad - I was thinking about the park by the cathedral in the centre of birmingham. People eat their lunches on the grass there and there should be enough space.

I'll see if I can contact the local police to ask what I might need to do.

Oh yes, what should I be asking the police?

If its ok to hold a large(?) picnic? - should I mention its to bring attention to this issue and that we might have banners etc?

I can do York - only problem is that DS (3.0) weaned a month or so ago otherwise I'd be another pg and bfing mum! Can I come anyway?

To clarify - I can come but can't really commit to helping organise - this pg is turning out to be complicated and I keep ending up in hospital with bleeds, sigh, which is making committing to anything at all difficult!

i would love to come along for the day. DD is now 3 and only feeds 2x a day.

But i am also suffering SPD and will be 31 wks pg at the time so can't see me up to it.
