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?

Hi, I keep losing this thread. I'd like to come.

I can do either the 11th or 15th, but my 3 yr old can only do 15th and the baby won't get much out of Giants Den, so that's the preference for me! I'll try and come either way though.

This may change our mind about going

All depends on transport options so forget about me and I'll attack dh pnce a date is decided

BT thanks for the lift offer before, just in cast it comes down to it I do fit between carseats in most cars and dd can go either rear or forward, she has one of those giant seats that go both ways. Can your ds go in the front? SPB and I were pondering the question of forward facing seats in the front the other day and if they ever could go or not.

Bookmarking. I will check my diary in a mo.

BouncingTurtle · 22/02/2010 22:06

Indith - I have seen other kids in front facing seats in the front seat, i can only assume they have the capability to switch off (or they don't have) the passenger air bag.

LaDiDaDi · 22/02/2010 22:12

Hello all, just found this thread. I'd like to come along and could do 11th or 15th of March.

Sticking my nose back in, I'll forget otherwise!

Dh has made noises about taking the 3rd week in March off work so I suppose that adds me to the 15th list as I'd be guaranteed the car!

Oh no ButterPie! But don't worry there will be other meetups!

Indith will you still need a lift?
I just need to work out how long it will take us to get to Gateshead from yours and then I will be able to work out when to pick you up.

Can you send me your address on FB please?

juneybean · 13/03/2010 11:54

I need to print off something with the mumsnet logo on but my printer isn't working! I will try to do it at work!
