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.

ooh, buggy racing, what a great idea.

what about instead of knobbly knee competition we could judge the best c-section overhang.

and biscuit eating competitions.

Not really. We have trains. and roads. and buses.

Hold these events in london and if you live at the top of scotland you would travel, what? 700 miles? Hold it centrally and nobody travels more than a few hundred.

and we could see who can assemble a travel cot the quickest. and who builds the best wooden railway (that's me btw)

Could we glamp and make a weekend of it.

Will have to if there is a bar....

"I read that as 'a stall selling nothing but LSD'"

Works for me

oooh could we have it in birmingham? i would never bother to go to manchester!

I actually think it's quite a good idea. I would go, so that's one ticket sold...

We could have a 'Call My Troll'-style panel show where we get to spot boxroom posts

I would go head to head with Reality

A mumsnet convention...how excited.

Of course I'd vote for NewcastleGateshead....it's the up and coming place to have conventions don't you know...

*exciting of course

"we could judge the best c-section overhang" PMSL

I'm up for it...

If this ever actually materializes, I will sell a kidney in order to afford the plane ticket.

I'll bring cupcakes with frraawwwsting.

Franny could have her own quinoa stall

2shoes could have a rock tent with tattooed men singing loudly inside

lol at mamag

ill have a stall where i can freely offend you only by having an opinion

i will call it i am right

Central is better distance wise, but public transport-wise, the larger the place, the easier it is to get trains, buses and planes there.

Then again, I'm from Manchester, so Manchester would be awesome

I don't think we need to argue about location
