Roll up, roll up for the Great Mumsnet Get Together, Summer Fete, Garden Party, Disco and Barbecue

[RowanMumsnet]

Hello there!

We would like to cordially invite you all to join us this coming Sunday, June 18, for a Great Get Together - in memory of the late Jo Cox MP, and in support of her family's organisation, More In Common, which aims to get us all to celebrate the things that unite us.

So whether you're reasonable or unreasonable, whether you have or have not Googled penguin bollards, and whether or not you think the OP should have cashed the cheque, we'd love to see you all here on Sunday around midday.

There will be PRIZES, chatting and amusing gifs (courtesy of AliceDMumsnet's 'solid gold gifs' folder). Please bring your best children's jokes, pictures of any kittens who have recently adopted you, and heartwarming stories of love and friendship across the divide (Netmums).

BYO booze. Folk dancing will not be tolerated in the shallow end.

(If you'd rather go to an event near you and meet other people face-to-face, check out the Great Get Together's listings of thousands of events across the UK here.)

Love
MNHQ

Youch Sassy! That must have hurt.

We need a quotey box like you have mn prettypleasesugarontop.

I might have turned the already blue sky slightly bluer OYBBK

Um...sorry but can I check...do we have a parking marshal in place? The overflow field is beginning to fill up already....I predict lots of threads and parking diagrams later

RebeccaMumset is the parking marshall. We're being directed to park over the driveways of all the people who have parked badly over the past year

Screeches in - due out soon though

Hello all.

Am late to the party because of my day so far:

Sodding
Bloody
Internet
Issues
Aarghhh!

Sorry for the swearing, folks. Frustrating!

beautiful Rowan! Simply beautiful!

I think any parking marshal today would need an ice cream van right next to them.

I have an idea for a prize!!! A real life pimms couriered to the BadKitten (that's me) for my lunch.

Have some of my medicinal Pimms cazzie....it def takes the edge off!

My kid's favourite joke.
Knock knock
Who's there?
Doctor
Doctor who?(no, wait for it)
Doctor bananas.
Cue him giggling for hours. He's now 26, he still giggles. No I don't know either. He's weird.
Right, I baggsy the face painting and hair braiding tent. No, I don't know how to do fucking Elsa, it's a ordinary face. Here have Spider-Man.

Can we go twos BadKitten? On account of my staple injury??

Do love a nonchalantly prancing llama, me...

oh, erm, @RowanMumsnet - you said YOU were doing the parking?

I've been welly wanging and visiting the Cider bus.

Ooh, yep, we have our first winner...quick unwrap your bottle....oh...oh...it's....a....bottle of Fairy Liquid! Ah well better luck next time....
