location's decided (thanks to Katie1979's advice) picnic area in Peckham Rye Park (near the Japanese Garden) ps Met office says some sun but will confirm location on the day (Clockhouse if rainy) see link to map of park showing picnic area http://www.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/2286/park_trail_maps

what about Explore which does group trips and has an eco bias, or Exodus? both do group travel... went to Uzbekistan with Explore and it was fantastic... also went to Dahab on a yoga holiday with www.yogatravel.co.uk, but i see that they are staying in a different hotel, we stayed at the Coral Coast which was perfect, Egyptian family run... right on best bit of the reef... fantastic all of the above are fine for singles, friends traveling together or couple... it's easy to meet nice people when you're traveling... so the world is your oyster!!!! xxcc

BACKGAMMON picnic is definitely on!!!!... 15th Aug, 3.00pm, Peckham Rye Common Looks like we are combining with the wonderful Rosanna's Hula Hooping... so come prepared for fun and relaxation!!! everyone bring some good food chilled ros? (or other preferred drink) picnic rugs your boards if you have them Rosanna will bring hoops!!! play a few games, snake those hips, chill out, add chatter and laughter... ask your mates if weather bad... retire to Clockhouse non-backgammoners and non-hoopers welcome... you can learn to play/hoop if you like or just hang out eat and have a few drinks kids welcome too if you have them! they will put us all to shame with there ability to wipe the floor with us adults on the hooping side!!

oh don't worry GW we are such a friendly and laid back group... I not sure whose coming but it is always great to meet new people... we are not scary at all!!!! after the first few seconds you will feel right at home!! xxCC

if anyone wants to bring guitars... that would be nice too... could this be the start of a Peckham Rye Festival (eat your heart out Big Chill...) http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/Gudella/Gudella0710/Gudella071000187/1979211-girl-playing-acoustic-guitar-in-a-park.jpg
