Shropshire/N.Wales mums - over here!

[MrsMeow]

I know we've tried to sort something before and we're all very anti-social but the summer hols are on their way, so how about trying to arrange a meet up for August sometime?

We could have a picnic in Oswestry or Telford park, if we want to do it on the cheap? Or maybe go further afield and spend the day at Chester Zoo or somewhere? Or even soft play? There's a nice new(ish) one in Os, or Wrexham have a big one as well.

Come onnnn! Humour me!

of course you can!

not sure about parking but anyone else wanting to meet at the station, email me!!

Oh Arse! Can't make the 19th as am at work Hope you all have a lovely day and i will be there next time...........

Grrrr as it is so my hunting ground....

lol portblacks, we should try to make it a regular thing!

Pranma There is parking for the quarry either at St Chad's Church or near Rowley's House - both are very close to the quarry.

Drive over English Bridge, and instead of going right up Wyle Cop, vear left up Beeches Lane. This turns into Town Walls then into St Chad's Terrace. Along St Chad's terrace on the right is St Chad's Church which has a car park in front of it. A man notes down your car reg and you pay when you get back.

If there aren't spaces there, or you miss it, carry on along the street as it goes down the hill - now called Claremont Bank. At the bottom is a set of traffic lights. Turn right onto Bridge Street and there is a car park on your left and a car pak on your right. Both are pay and display. From either one it's a quick walk across to the Quarry - see here

Oh thats a shame Portblack :( hopefully we'll all get on well enough to want to meet up again though! Although, if you ever feel up to an Os mini meet, just give me a shout :)

Is anyone else bringing a very small child?[18 months]What do we do if it is raining?

Hi pranma, I will have a 3.5yr old, a 20 mo and an 11wk old so your dgs will have company!

Hi Dancingthroughlife - love the new name, take it your first bump is going well?

are we taking a picninc?

ive just had a look and the forecast is sunny spells!!

I am bringing 19mo, 3.5ish DD. And probably umbrella/wellies Picnic good idea, as DD will eat anything as long as it is a cheese sandwich

I will have a picnic.May be a prob as dd tells me that dgs is having his [delayed] MMR jab on Monday so may be a bit off colour.If he isnt quite right I wont come.I'll let you know on Wednesday evening though.

I may attend...depending on how much of my OU assignment I've got written seeing as it's due on Friday. Should probably start on it rather than post on here

DD is 5 months :)

We'll be bringing a picnic, have spent enough on eating out over the weekend!

Just checked the weather again, it looks like it's going to be ok. It would be good if it was as nice as it is today :)

I'll bring a picnic as well.

i will too. Im really looking forward to it. anyone catching train from/through telford?

I wont be coming after all.I went to the gp this morning and she found a 'thickening' in my right breast.I had breast cancer 4 years ago and am so afraid that it is back.It will be next week before I can have it checked but I dont feel up to socialising just now.Have a wonderful time all of you.

oh no pranma. im so, so sorry. sending you some very un-mn hugs and wishing you the best. hopefully you will feel up to it soon.

Oh pranma, what a worry for you :( I really hope it's just something & nothing, but I understand how worried you will be.

If you decide that you'd like some company, please come. I'll be thinking of you.

Oh pranma, I'm sorry to hear that. I really hope it's all ok. Big un-MN hug from here too.

Pranma, hope it goes ok next week. Thinking of you.

Can I just check, are we meeting at the Quarry or the train station? I'll have a big green pushchair if anyone spots me looking confused.

Pranma, how are you feeling today? A bit more upbeat I hope?

DancingThroughLife - I think a few of us are meeting at the train station at 11.30am - outside by the taxi bit I think?

I've just been and bought our train tickets and some picnic bits. DS has decided that he wanted to go to work with DH though, and they won't be back until Friday so it will just be DD (10)& I tomorrow. I hope this is ok with everyone?

Looking forward to it now! Weather looks ok too :)

I do hope it goes well for you all.My dh spoke to doc this am and she said she was 98% sure it was ok but with my history that 2% had to be checked.
Have a wonderful time tomorrow.

I can't come! Work have 'asked' me to go in... I will hopefully finish about 2pm so if I can get myself and ds organised I will wander down to the quarry and if I see a likely looking group I will come over and say hello (and really hope it is you all!)
