All welcome!

The venue is to be the Giants Den in the Team Valley, Gateshead (just off the A1)

Princes Park
Team Valley Trading Estate, Gateshead, NE11
0191 487 4677

www.thegiantsden.co.uk

Date: To be agreed

Time: 10.30am

Price: Under 1's: 50p, Under 2's: £4.50, Over 2's: £5.90 (if half term), Adults/Children over 12: 25p

I'm going to throw in the idea of going during February half term which I believe is 15th - 20th February.

Ok I think I've waffled on enough; what does everyone think?

oooh tuesdays- I can come!

could do most Mondays as well if people wanted to swap but the rest of the week is out. work have me chained to the computer at the moment...

BouncingTurtle · 28/01/2010 06:58

Here's another one who can't do the 9th! Sorry Juneybean!

I can do any of the other dates though.

10:30 start would be feasible for me, it's about an hour's drive for me from Teesside!

Indith · 28/01/2010 08:32

I can do any of the dates (providing dh can work from home).

Laugs I'd be inteseted in your book group, can't really get to Betty's but Newcastle I could prob manage.

Laugs · 28/01/2010 09:06

24th, 25th, 26th Feb

4th or 8th March ?

Aiming at 2pm ?

Or another day time to throw into the mix 9th or 12th March

Otherwise we'll just have to go for 3rd March (apologies to Spiggy )

Afternoons are fine with me, I'll need to get DS his tea though, but that should be okay.

ButterPie · 02/02/2010 14:27

Afternoons are fine for me, apart from Thursdays and Fridays. Actually, afternoons are better than mornings on mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays as DP is off work in the morning but I get lonely as there are fewer playgroups and so on in the afternoons.

I'm gonna say the 3rd March 10.30am or 8th March at 2pm.

Someone make an executive decision lol

OP posts:
spiggy · 03/02/2010 19:58

I've spent all day making decisions, I can't make any more or my brain will explode

I can do the 8th but not the 3rd- but if the 3rd is best for the majority then I'll just have to make it next time. The child free night out is the really important date anyway

Blimey was it that long ago?! Time flies when you are sleep deprived having fun

ButterPie · 03/02/2010 21:07

I'm going to an international womens day thing at the monument on the 8th at midday (maybe some of you fancy coming?) so might struggle to get there on time but will probably be able to come.

OK, executive decision! 8th March, 2pm!

(is that ok?)

BouncingTurtle · 04/02/2010 12:49

yes that is fine with me!

Sorry, cant make it then, got my reading group and our course leader has had to leave, so they need people to help run it.

Will be there for the curry though.

ButterPie · 05/02/2010 12:56

Eek, I've been asked to help organise an event that goes on to 3.30 for international women's day. I think my bit will be over by two tbh (we are walking along from the tyne bridge/the sage and meeting on the millenium bridge to draw attention to international womens issues - I'll post elsewhere on mn later with full details if anyone wants to join in) but I want a quick look round the stalls too.

Maybe I should ring Juneybean when I have finished and see if you are still going?

BouncingTurtle · 05/02/2010 17:12

Oh no BettySwollux! But we will definitely have other meetups as well - I hope you will be able to join us for curry!

I actually started an AIBU thread about you after the last curry night, I wanted to know where you got that gorgeous red top you were wearing

BouncingTurtle · 05/02/2010 17:12

Oh ButterPie - wow sounds great! But hope you can still make it!
