Harrow-Watford-Barnet-St.Albans-Hemel day meetup

Hi Girls, just thought I'd start another day meetup thread for May. Not sure when half term is though, see if we can squeeze one in before then?

Will have to look for another outdoorsy type place incase the weather is nice, with the Watford Playdome (or whatever it's now called) as our rainy day plan.

What do you think?

Karen99 - I am back at work as from tomorrow - can do halfterm. Didn't someone mention an evening out minus kids?

Janstar · 03/05/2004 14:43

Did you like the sound of the place I told you about? It's in Bricket Wood, very close to jcts 21A on M25 and 6 on M1. It's an old working watermill on the River Ver which has been converted into a bar restaurant. Children are welcome. There is a huge field outside where kids run around or kick balls about, the river runs around it and there are lots of wild fowl and fish to feed. There are over 100 tables to sit at and eat and a full fenced playground. Adjoining fields have donkeys and horses in them. The food is lovely and they don't mind if you order just a bowl of chips or a full meal.

Grommit, there is another thread about the evening out. I hope you can both come.

Kayleigh · 03/05/2004 20:28

I'd be up for this depending on day - can only do mons and fridays. That place in brickett wood sounds good Janstar, especially the chips bit

meandthomas · 03/05/2004 20:40

fresh air sounds good. Ds is a bit small for playdome though.(6 months). No worries when....

Hi Janstar, yes that place sounds great! I can't do Wed or Fri's now so Monday would best suit us (to go along with Kayleigh). Can you post a streetmap location?

meandthomas my ds is only 10mo and there is usually a baby area at these playdome places (been to the Liconsfield centre in Bushey with the other MNetters and Fantasy Island nr Wembley with some friends -both had an area for babes). But anyway, that's plan b. Plan a is much much better. Lets hope the weather is nice!

Janstar · 04/05/2004 08:48

I can only do Friday afternoons or weekends, unless we meet after 3pm Oh dear, I don't think there is a day we can all do.

Unless we do it on a weekend and open it to husbands and other kids. Husbands like it there, there is a bar

melsy · 04/05/2004 08:51

Husbands sounds good , hes always moaning he doesnt do things like this!!!dont tell him I told you all !!

Grommit · 04/05/2004 09:26

Kayleigh · 04/05/2004 10:03

Don't know if you'd want to meet my husband - things he calls you (not anyone specifically - more mumnetters in general )

melsy · 04/05/2004 10:06

Well as Fridays have worked in the past can we not try one again? I'll just have to turn up late. I am going to a signing class with ds which finishes around 12pm so I can leave straight from there to where ever to meet you lot..

Kayleigh · 04/05/2004 18:55

Can't do 14th, but can do 21st.

meandthomas · 04/05/2004 22:36

karen99 · 05/05/2004 10:10

I can do the 21st but can only meet nearer 1:30.. As you can get food at the watermill shall we meet at 12 or 12:30 and have lunch there? I will just have to catch up later or bring my own..

Janstar · 05/05/2004 11:07

Janstar · 05/05/2004 11:28

The place is called Moor Mill and it's in Smug Oak Lane, Bricket Wood. It's actually the main road between Radlett and Bricket Wood. I don't know how to do links (granny) so could one of you young people who understand technology post a map please .

Will we be meeting at Kidsports if it's raining?

tammybear · 05/05/2004 12:04

Janstar · 05/05/2004 12:15
