Seriously, we need a meetup and there needs to be cake and we are going to call it a party and there will be invitations sent out to make up for all the ones that don't come.

Seriously.

We could do it in the summer holidays.

Sure. If they give us a free venue, plus overnight stay with free babysitting, we'll start a thread about how wonderful they are!

Am in Essex so should be able to make a SE/London meet!

We're just south of NE! And I can do cakes!

Can do London but if doing with dc would need be able get bus to can't do underground with ds

We're in Cambs & would love to make a London meet -- with the plus that we can come by train as both dses lurve trains!

London is a bit too far for me with DD1, sorry. I am sure you will all have a great time, though

I for another would be interested.

Perhaps our cakes should have a meet, Ampersand! I'm eyeing up the blueberries proliferating in my back yard, because they're going to make some mighty fine muffins

Cake room for mums, party room for children! This plan gets better!

I do a mean double chocolate cake with ganache.

Just wondering if we should start a thread for each region?

Mumoftrio just outside Glasgow

no that far from me then, aboot an hoor

yes regional threads a good idea or in our case, one scoootish thread

someone start them then ha ha

SO shal the NE'ers all meet in Newcastle? Not far from me at all

I can eat cake Ampersand, so we are well matched!

I'm in London and Coram's Fields works for us, there are halls that can be hired reasonably cheaply (to keep the cake in if it rains).

Could certainly do Newcastle 5inthe back - 50 mins north on the train for us. And I'll always travel for blueberries Ouryve

I'm up for a London one and Coram's Fields would be fine for us too

love to go to a london meet. ds would lovecoram fields and cake (if i don't eat it all first).

Coram's Fields cafe has very nice Austrian coffee too!

I can do London but would need good public transport directions to Coram's field. (Am in Colchester Essex)

Shall we ask about booking a hall at Coram's Field? There's an email address on the website!

could probably do london meet, depends on dates!

verity - of &course we can send an invite. that's really sad you dd doesn't get invited. whereabouts are you? there's a couple of regional meets being discussed too. Im sure there must be someone reasonably near you?

Loudlass could meet up London Liverpool street Then grab bus

Or know it's cost there is always paradise wildlife park , in broxbourne ,zoo plus playparks and a wheelchair play area to

Would we like weekend or midweek (perhaps in summer holidays) for the London meet-up? The halls are pretty large and there is access to a basic kitchen area and toilets. They do get very booked up in advance.
