***summer picnic in London, the new one***

[imaginaryfriend]

Ok, anybody wishing to meet up still despite the old thread, sign up here!

Oh boy, Cheltenhamgirl, do I need a hand??? I'm not sure quite how I got into this apart from feeling slightly disgruntled at how the other one just got aborted. I've never been on a meet-up before and I'm hoping my role will stop at just keeping this thread going with details of the day / people coming etc. Yes, definitely bring your own food kind of affair and when we get closer to the date we can vote between Hyde Park and Coram's Fields?

Meeting on 15 July, location to be confirmed but probably Hyde Park or Coram's Fields.

Has the 9th been cancelled then cos of the footie?

I can come on the 15th if Magnolia1 will hold my hand

No your holding my hand

lets hope we don't get lost then! My sense of direction is just about as good as my spelling! LOL

Can't make the 15th - deeply bummed- hope you all have a fab time!!!

Oh goody, two more names for my list magnolia and poppies?

Sorry you can't make it coolmama.

Only people with flowery names can come, obviously.

You could change your name to hub2daisy?

Sorry, that date is not working for me after all, but I wish you all a very jolly time :)

I'm so deeply deeply embarrassed about this but I can't make July 15. For some pathetic reason I forgot that it's my mum's birthday that week so I'll be away.

Can I ask everyone interested to consider the following weekend? I can do Saturday or Sunday? Otherwise you could all continue with the 15th and send me a postcard

(I did say at the start of this thread that I'd never done this before ... )

I reckon the mumsnet matriachs are having a separate 'hush hush' meeting behind closed doors

Am I missing something there?

Oh you have learnt how to spell pariah now have you?

Imaginaryfriend, this picnic appears a bit jinxed for you. Good on you for giving it a go.
