Mumsnet

When organising a Mumsnet meet up you should take the same basic precautions you would when meeting anyone from the internet - make sure you meet in a public place and that others know where you are going. You can also meet up with other mums on your Mumsnet Local page. Find your Local page here.

Ok.
WE really need to get this sorted if we are to hold a party this year.
As it seems i've somehow managed to volunteer to organise it we figuered we'd just go back to the Hat & Tun as last year's do was so succesfull.

We have a preliminary date of the 28th November.

Last year everyone paid £20 towards venue hire and food ( which was delicious) so if everyone is agree'd we will just do that agin this year.

so if everyone that is interested in coming could PLEASE list your names on this thread so that we know this will be a viable event.

otherwise i need to phone pizza hut and book a booth grin

Oh and i don't know how you make threads sticky but if someone does....could they?

Is it a private room or in a pub?

Mamazon Wed 16-Sep-09 17:14:10

the entire pub will be ours for the night.

cornsillk Wed 16-Sep-09 17:19:31

cornsillk Wed 16-Sep-09 17:38:47

I'm pondering...'tis a long way from the frozen North and my last effort at attending a meet up was damned.

BennyAndJoon Wed 16-Sep-09 17:39:41

Mamazon Wed 16-Sep-09 17:42:30

BennyAndJoon Wed 16-Sep-09 17:53:26

nevergoogledragonbutter Wed 16-Sep-09 19:59:29

cornsillk Wed 16-Sep-09 20:00:29

Yes do!!!

Ewe Wed 16-Sep-09 20:03:54

I would in theory but might see if I can drag someone I know before committing myself <scared>

Mamazon Wed 16-Sep-09 20:06:16

Don't be scared EWE. i have been on a couple of meets and im still terrified every time.

almost everyone on MN is lovely and hopefully there will be names you recognise coming so you have the throill of putting faces to posts.

it really is a very good night.

Ewe Wed 16-Sep-09 20:18:28

Ok, count me in, will try to round up some of my PN club to come too!

You have to promise, collectively, that if you see me standing alone nursing a bottle of wine looking hideously unpopular you will come and talk to me grin

cornsillk Wed 16-Sep-09 20:50:41

ewe - I want to inspect your oscillated eyelashes.

IrishDraught Wed 16-Sep-09 20:53:14

A whole pub for the evening?? I may have to reconsider!

Mamazon Wed 16-Sep-09 20:55:47
