Are we having one this year?
Is it too early to think about it?
Who's going to organise it?

Im a newbie, has this happened before then? Im a Yorkshire lass and would love to go on a picnic, do we have to bring the kids??

BroccoliSpears · 18/05/2008 20:29

Do you think Waitrose would lend us that enormous picnic blanket?

fatzak · 18/05/2008 20:32

How spooky Squonk, I was just thinking about last year's earlier today and wondering whether we would do one this year! Have name changed since last year but I was there with my food snaffling DS!!!

fryalot · 19/05/2008 07:43

so, is that a yes then?

Shall we stick to the same location? (huge park in Leeds, for those that weren't there)

Anyone got any dates in mind?

(am I organising it? It looks like I am, where's BettyTheBuilder????)

fatzak - I think I know who you are, do we have a Boo doll in common?

'Fraid not Squonk! Are you thinking of Gingermonkey? I was sitting near you for the picnic and no doubt my DS helped himself to your food like he did everyone else's!

Tropical World was a good place last year wasn't it? Are we thinking before schools break up or after?

Once schools break up I can do anyday, but only Thursday and Friday before the holidays!!!

Saturn74 · 19/05/2008 09:47

We might come along.

fryalot · 19/05/2008 09:57

fatzak - did you tell me that you didn't post very much on mumsnet? I think I do know who you are, but I'm afraid I can't remember your previous posting name.

Anyway, I think we should do it in the school holidays, we will potentially get more picnickers that way.

I had a great day last year, and am very much looking forward to another one.

Humph - you will have to come now you've said you might

I'll come with ds if we can make the date.

FMF can have a lift again if you like

katz · 19/05/2008 09:59

if its accessible by public transport i'll try and come

BroccoliSpears · 19/05/2008 11:32

Will everyone know everyone else?

bellavita · 19/05/2008 11:34

I would love to come but I am away from 25th July till 9th August.

fryalot · 19/05/2008 11:55

broccoli - if you look like this then we will know you.

If you don't look like that (and I'm taking a wild, stab in the dark, guess that you don't ) then there may be a couple of us recognisable to each other, but hopefully there will be loads that we don't know... yet.

There are tons of us in Yorkshire now, and I think we should try and get as many mumsnetters as we can in one place and see if we can rival the Londoners their Christmas party. Whaddya reckon?

Broccoli - I have never met any of the Yorkshire Mums so you will not be on your own on that one.

Greedygirl · 19/05/2008 13:03

I'd like to come! Count me in (I don't know anyone).

vinorouge · 19/05/2008 13:08

Depending when it is I will come.

Katz - if its the same place as last year yes it is easily accessible by bus.

DrNortherner · 19/05/2008 13:10

Oooh yes squonk a big crimbo party would be fab. I'd help organise it.

BroccoliSpears · 19/05/2008 13:45

@ Squonk.
I can't believe you'd just post a pic of me on a public forum without asking.

fryalot · 19/05/2008 15:09

youknownothingofthecrunch · 19/05/2008 15:52
