Mumsnet fair.. do you do this already?

[mmrsceptic]

I've never been involved in rl mn activities so apologies if I'm talking about something already in place.

Have you ever considered a Mumsnet mela?

It's a type of fair, not just a meet up. So if one can imagine, there's a big hall or marquee, and, say, your regular advertisers set out stands. Plus any new ones that fancy getting involved. PLUS all of us who have an axe to grind, or a product to sell, or a charity to promote, or a public campaign etc etc etc could take a stall too. Don't you think it would be great? Tech could have a help desk , Tsarinas could have a corner and so on. There could be a small business corner -- I mean, just like mn but in 3D. And open to the public.

Is there any point to this? I think it would be great. I'd go.

bump

i just mean mela in its sense as "fair", but I fair isn't quite right and I couldn't think of a word that was, except mela

"fair isn't quite right and I couldn't think of a word that was, except mela"

no no, you mean a Fayre. Then we could have bunting.

ooh the NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD stunnas could have a stall and we'd abuse everybody for being fat pigs to try to shame them into losing weight

Maybe a confessional box for AIBU but instead of a priest, there are 50 MNers roaring "yes you effing are"

lulumama and mars on an elevated platforms, ticket machine witih a million pregnant MNers anxiously holding their number, waiting for htat golden moment when it's called and they can ask about childbirth.

A big croc and fleece amnesty skip

A stall selling NOTHING but LDC

It would be fabulous

DaftPunk in the stocks??

Well, we'd have to wait until after the election, or GB, NC, and DC would turn up.

We could have Mr Tumble give a little show.

We could sell SuSoup!

We could have an actual pushchair shed

A cake competition!

I'd provide security

I'm very good security, I've scared everyone off...

We need a bridge - for the trolls to sit under drinking their fruitshoots

oh lolol rofl but bugger off I was SERIOUS

ok yes i suppose I mean fayre

but it's bigger than that it's more like professional like and at the same time communal and sharing

oh just come on say yes somebody say it's a great idea

mamaglee, I read that as 'a stall selling nothing but LSD'

"fleece amnesty skip"

Cod could sit at the entrance and Taser anyone who doesn't meet the S&B requirments.

we could burn kitkats and other nestle prodcuts, whilst we sip our fairtrade coffee and eat homemade red velvet cupcakes.

Of course a mela, should not be confused with a melee

The melee area could be for loud parenting

That'd actually be really nice.

JUST DON'T HAVE IT IN BLOODY LONDON!!!!!!!!!!

Middle of the country. Central.

Middle of country. Central.

=

Equally hard for everyone to get to (unless you live there already).

There could be a fashion sow of school run dresses, or are those out of favour now?

we could have 'Pin the Website glitch on Tech'

Hexham is the middle of the UK btw.

I like the idea of us all sitting in a marquee with our laptops to communicate. Surely you don't expect us to actually have RL conversations? if we were any good at that, we wouldn't be here.

and buggy racing
