A graduate of a TTC and antenatal thread hhere! Yes it looks like the weekends are going to work best. My local knowledge is appaling though - the Phoenix or the Boston Tea party? Would be good to discover some new places!

oooh can i come too iv only just moved here and i dont know anyone. my kids are both at school do you have to have young kids only?

Oh, I'd love to come but I'm based in Okehampton and don't drive so probably won't be able to. I'll watch the thread with interest though in case I find a way to get in to town DH works in Exeter but leaves at 7.15am so probably a bit daft to catch a lift with him.

DD is 7 months atm.

mrsmop, mine are all school age now, and there are a few mumsnetters around here with primary age children who do come to meetups.

If it's at a weekend I could come with 3dc or without, depending on what other people are doing. It does make for a lot of children though when we all bring all of ours. last time we met up like that and it was quite hard to actually talk to anyone (I sort of met hoochiemama then but not to actually talk to, it was too noisy and chaotic).

I could almost certainly come if it was a weekend (and could leave DD with DH, which should be interesting!).

Obv. depends on everyone else though!

Definitely sounds like the weekend is the most popular.

Is there anyone who can't make a Saturday or Sunday?

i can make sunday as long as i have at least a weeks notice to rearrange my day off at work

twentiethcenturyheffa dont the X9 and the 510 buses run from okehampton to exeter?

oh nevermind, i just remembered they dont run on sunday

I've been on the train from Exeter to Okehampton on a Sunday and back, but maybe it only runs at certain times or seasons?

i think (but i could be wrong) that they closed that train line

Maybe it closed generally but just runs on Sundays, or something like that. Or Sundays in summer.

I don't think there's a train anymore, I was told that it's all closed. I've heard tell of a special line that runs from Okehampton to Meldon though, although someone else told me that was closed too. The buses do run, so if the meet-up was mid-week I'd look into that. At the weekend I can get a lift from DH easily enough.

No, I looked it up, the train I went on is only a summer Sunday special. For people who like vintage train journeys and walking. Apparently. I'd thought I was just on a normal train journey but it seems it was a special Heritage Experience.

HoochieMomma! You asked for me! How are those gorgeous dts?

Add me to the list, I'll certainly come if I can. I have 3 dcs all at primary school and am usually around. Can be flexible about days, though obviously would have all three dcs at the weekend (10, 8 and 6).

hi my gosh this thread has moved quickly!
belcantwait- mondays, tuesdays (with dd 4.1), thursdays (with dd) and weekends.
sunday is cool with me as wont have to bring any kids hurrah!!! (if its in the pm)

I'd like to come, could do weekdays if I can fit around the school run (on the bus so would have to be mid morning) but fri, sat sun are best as can leave some dcs with dh.

I have ds1 6, dd1 4, b/g dts 2, and ds3 not quite 11mths and live near exeter.

I'd like to come, I'm in Budleigh
I can do fri,sat, sun, like piximon, can leave the dc's with dh!

ok, looks liek sunday it is then. if it is during the day i will have to bring Ds as DH will be working

sorry, that would be like i think that is twice i've done that on this thread now

ok, sundays is march are the 1st, the 8th, the 15th, the 22nd and the 29th. i definately cant do the 22nd because of work, but any of the others are possible.

I can do the 22nd or the 29th
