West Midlands Anual Picnic in Sutton Park.

[mummyhill]

Is anyone interested in joining us this year?

This will be the fifth year of the picnic which usually takes place in August. We usually meet at town gate under a large green gazebo. There is space for the children to play football, a small stream where they could paddle, a children's play area and a small kiosk selling Ice-cream.

Please add your details and availability to the list.

Mummyhill - DD age 7 DS age 3 Available anytime in August.

Whoops that should have read:

Thanks!

and now !!!!

bump.

good luck ladyem!

is anyone going by train and want to meet at new street?

Good luck ladyem.

It might just be me and DD2 as mum and dad are looking after my nephew next week and they are wanting to take him and DD1 to West Midlands Safari Park on Wednesday.

what time?

Lissie, mummyhill has asked if we can all arrive around 12 noon.

ok, see you there!!

Mummyhill - Can I just make a request that we don't set up camp by an Ice-cream van or a merry-go-round, as ds2 will freak and will want to go home if he see's one

lissielou - We shall be going by train, I will message you

hope all has gone well for you Ladyem

this is at town gate innit? Say its a really lovely day and park is busy, how will I know who you are? I'd feel a bit daft asking 'are you mummyhill and the mumsnet crew?' to any group with kids and a gazebo

Will do my best Whimsy love although I think there is usually an ice cream truck on the car park. I can't wait to see the boys it seems like ages since I last saw you all.

masonicpixiesreadthedaily... Look for a green gazebo under a tree by the visitor centre car park.

Ladyem has posted on or antenatal thread and all is well.

Hi theDMplagiarisedLeonie we have actually set this for Wednesday you are more than welcome to join us if you want to.

Yup been there in the rain before hence the gazebo!

see you all tomorrow

We are so excited, ds has put in his picnic order ready! will check in tomorrow am.

anyone who wants to meet at new street and go to sutton coldfield together email me on lissie _ g78 at yahoo dot co . uk

We'll be there weather permitting. I'm not normally a wuss, but DD has another chest infection and I don't really want her out in the rain too much.

See you all tomorrow, lissielou I will text you in the morning

Everyone check in here in the morning please. If rain is torrential we will have to cancel but if just showers we should be ok to go ahead. I need to know by 10am at the latest if people are pulling out cause I don't want to be sat there billy no mates lol!

are we still on? raining here!

What's happening are we still on? Or are we going to arrange for another day?

The forecast is that it should ease off a bit so I am loading the gazebo in the car! We can always abandon ship and go for a walk round the town centre which has a covered shopping arae if we get there and decide it's too wet.

ok, off to get ready then.

daft question, but the nearest station is sutton coldfield isnt it?

I'll pop by if it stays like this. Er and its on obv. My dd is having a mobile eeg and I've got to monitor her and fill in diary and amuse ds as well

Forecast is light rain
