Leicestershire meet up?

[Treblesallround]

Following on from the midlands thread, anyone up for a meet up? Maybe in October? Where are most people based? City or County?

Market Bosworth is such a lovely place - nice for a meet up :)

Gurl, bosworth would indeed be a lovely place for a daytime meet up :)

Rcs, next time you come over to Hinckley, pm me and we could meet for a coffee? I can also point you in the direction of some good play groups.

Can't meet up during the day, except at the weekend, as I work full time.

at issimma, also got a toddler wonder if we have bumped into each other!

You couldn't have. Cos I had the best mw ever at the LRI and she was from Barrow :o

Hi all. I'd love to meet up, but might have to miss this one - I'm due on Sunday! But invite me to the next one please!!

I'm definitely up for a meet up - I'm just South of the city, in Wigston. Can do daytimes (as both DSs are now in school - woohoo!) or some evenings. Can travel easily as I'm used to driving all over the place!

North of Leicester. South of Nottingham.

Thanks, Birnamwood, I will do.

Hmm that narrows it down greeneggs...also describes me.

Iirc on a previous thread there were a lot of MNetters in the woodhouse/swithland neck of the woods that came out of the woodwork.

Based on this and previous thread I estimate that there are at least half a dozen MNettees within 5mile radius of me.

(oh and I would prefer an evening and/or weekend meet. I would travel. All my kids are school age but I am a single parent and would need reasonable notice to arrange childcare)

issimma don't panic, I don't think I have ever looked at a thread history of people, I work Thursdays and go swimming on a weekend or a Monday so only place we would have bumped into each other is the park or if you pass me when ds is crawling on the floor through St Mary's as he is pretending to be a dinosaur/tiger/dog!

I have never met another Mumsnetter apart from in Sainsburys a woman was all smiley and then notice Pombears (for DH) in my shopping and then she turned her back on me

Hello! I'm a city bird. I'd love to do a meet up

I can travel wherever!

So, we need somewhere in reach of just about everywhere in the County, and a daytime meet, and an evening one.

How about one day during half term, or a Saturday if half term's too far off? Afternoon somewhere outdoors with kids, then early evening in a pub for those who can't make daytime? Should mean that most people can get to either or both? (or am I over optimistic about the weather?) Anyone got a better logistics brain than me?

So, suggestions:

1. Burbage Common for a walk then meet about 7pm at a pub nearby?
2. Beacon Hill for a walk then meet at the Old Bull's Head
3. Conkers with the kids then pub
4. Twinlakes then pub
5. Something out to the south of the county

Anyone got any other ideas (especially if the weather's crap)?

I think there could be 2 or 3 needs which could be kept seperate - might be easier logistically, could be organised by different peeps? Would also help people to be included as there is a choice..

A daytime for those with preschoolers
Half term for those that want to meet with their school age kids.
Evening meet for those that want to ditch the kids.

Excellent plan, Haunted, and we can vary the venues. So we need 3 organisers. Who's doing which?

I could attempt to organise an evening pub thing, but my scope is limited to my general area (the void between Leicester and Nottingham ) so if there are people with a broader knowledge of pubs around Leics they might be a better choice.
