I'm still unsure, you can all see why from the other thread! I'll give it some thought.....

gaelsgirl · 06/06/2005 11:43

will have to arrange to meet you somewhere to get the tickets

bambi06 · 07/06/2005 14:23

looks like were be there with my two and dh. will go in morning as ds has OT in the afternoon at 3 pm , how will we recognise each other?

heartinthecountry · 07/06/2005 20:03

Just realised I can probably make this (had it in my head it was next weekend) - do you think I am too late to get tickets? And where is everyone meeting?

Davros - I know you don't usually 'do' weekends but purlease come!

Blossomhill · 07/06/2005 21:08

I cannot believe this

Not going to be able to make it. Dh has now been told he has to work, urgent job. So after everything not going to be able to come along on Saturday.

So, so sorry

I just feel so awful as I suggested it in the first place! Please forgive me, I just can't do it without dh.

Well today was the cut off for sending them as didn't get the form until yesterday, so haven't got any - sorry .
I am sure if HITC phoned she may be able to get some tickets at the door? Fingers crossed.

I cannot tell you how gutted I am

I also didn't get my form until too late - we are hoping to show up at Zoo and just pay to get in full price. If not I'll join the rest of you on the outside and we'll just go play in Regent's Park. Also aiming to get there about 10:30ish.

So about BH and kiddies not being able to come - are you sure. We really would like to meet you again...

bambi06 · 08/06/2005 11:50

i`ve sent off application form and have left messages asking if i can pick my tickets up at the door as unfortunately a lot of us havent found out earlier enough and i did make a comment about wherer was it advertised as we didnt hea r through any official sites only on here so thanks whoever found out for us , where did anybody else find out as it would be handy to know in the future...

Davros · 08/06/2005 11:56

They do it every year but I probably hear about it because I live nearby. Its around the same time, maybe they have a mailing list. I could have gone in and picked up forms/tickets if I'd thought about it.
I don't think I will be able to make it (wimp!). DS is at Saturday club in the morning and there's no way I'm letting him miss that! He would be horse riding in the afternoon but you're all going in the morning aren't you? It would prob be very busy in the afternoon too and I'm not sure what I would do with DD.....
Don't forget the sun cream!

it's out of the congestion zone, if that's what you mean

the woman on the phone said she would only issue tickets on the day as a last resort, so i would call them in advance and try and get the ok

am sure we will entertain each other rnb, your ds2 can have a go in my ds2's wheelchair, if he likes

Just found out we won't be able to come - was a bit worried about not being able to get in either and really disappointing the kids. Darn. How about Brighton next Sat RnB - you around?
