im due on the 22nd but if it's nice i may pop along and meet some of you

you can come on one condition - you bring the ickle baby with ya [gri] so we can all have cuddle

Yay - count me in with dd1 and dd2. Dd1 had the 'runs' last time so I couldn't come - but will def be coming this time [crossed fingers icon]

Already mentioned it, but count me and DD in. We had a fab time last year :)

Might drag myself along. Hope you appreciate our presence as you will realise how far it is for us to travel

Also found out there are shedloads of us in Nottingham (all living on da Eastside, innit). I'm organising a farm meetup shortly, and will give them a nod to this thread when I do (and you lot for the farm meetup, obviously )

(oh damn, forgot to say - it's me, Serah )

Definately interested. Will watch this space, cheers. I nearly came last year but missed it because I couldn't get off work for a long enough lunch break to get to the castle but now I'm on maternity leave

Hi. I am brand new to Nottingham. I live in Sneinton, so not far from the castle at all. This sounds like a great day out - I'll definately be there with dd and ds.

I had a newborn last year, so chickened out, but she will be running rings around me by then . I will try and get the day off work to come - sounds like fun!

Count me in, and remember if you have a Nottingham City (not County) Library card you don't have to pay admission to the castle mon-fri.

Oh yes - I was bleaurgh with early pregnancy last year but will be there with little dd for this one

I might bring DD this year, if my parents are not here. DD's birthday is 1st August and they usually come down from scotland for it.

Bumping as we get closer to the date or for anyone that missed it..

BUMP for clary

thanks hula!
yes we loved this last year, count me in again I hope. Friday my day off now so should be good.

Excellent :)

mpiung as the date is getting nearer.

bumping as it's getting close

Bumping again.

Not sure if I will make it as my mum is arriving on the Sunday before, not sure when she is going home.

Not long now

11.45 - 12.00 at the castle again?
this time worked well last yr for peoples buses / trains getting in

What time train are you catching FD? I'll try and get same one again if possible

I will be coming with DD. I can get the 10.01 from B'ham which will get me to Nottingham for 11.40.

What time is everyone going home, so I know which train to book back.

Last year people went back in dribs and drans throughout the afternoon. TBH I can't remember what time we left.. Do remember mising the train and waiting in the cafe - so maybe it was 5ish by then???

Ok, train tickets booked.

Arrive at Nottingham 11.40, train back leaves at 4pm.
