Olivia, absolutely everyone is very, very welcome, children, pets, pirates too!

There will be children there, bbq ready ;)

Will post meeting place nearer the time. Sat afternoon 17th July, peckham rye park. Hopefully the sun will still be shining....

[citizenED]

Sure OD, everyone welcome. I'm planning to come with my little ones so you will be able to meet them. it is on Sat 17th July, precise location and time to be announced. As it was Katie's call, those details should be up to her.

[OliviaDee]

cheers everyone. so i shall await further postings...

LM - if i marinade them over night perhaps we could pass them off as tofu to the vegetarians and have a laugh behind their backs? though i suspect my eldest might be tough. that stubborn streak.

[OliviaDee]

hi ed! lovely to bump into you again x

[karter]

katie, don't forget to have a callsign or edf flag ready. :)-D

[dubluke]

hope this isn't an early finish thing! don't get out of work until 4

[Mick Mac]

Katie. But but but - the Open golf is on that day.(you should know that of course). Putt putt putt. Tut tut tut.

[citizenED]

Mick, you are a terminally Golf Obsessed headcase. The picnic is on the Saturday. That's like yesterday's news in golfing terms. You can sate yourself on Sunday, mate. I'll make sure my 5 year old brings his plastic driver, niblick and putter to the picnic - you can coach him.

[katie1997]

We've agreed to meet from 1pm onwards, exact spot to be confirmed nearer the time.

Anyone that wants to and can make it along on that date is very welcome. That includes golf obsessed headcases too.

As far as I know, I haven't yet* met anyone who has is coming along to this so please don't feel you have to know people already :))

*ok, one lady who is good at backgammon.

Oh you got me. I feel the shame of being outed.

[Ladymuck]

...definitely a headcase...hope you are not going to be doing another "runner"...

*sprints off at speed*

[charliecharlie]

hello katie, it's your backgammon friend here... sadly I won't be coming... it's my friend's 50th birthday

I wasn't sure if it was a sort of virtual online picnic, or if it was for real... sometimes hard to tell on the forum!!!

sad to be missing what will no doubt be a very civilised affairhttp://www.divinedinnerparty.com/image-files/black-and-white-picnic-theme.jpg

Umbrellas?

OK - I have consulted my picnic guru and the weather gods - this IS still on for Saturday afternoon.

I'll be at Peckham Rye Park, in front of the cafe area, from 3pm onwards. All welcome to join.

If the weather is not so good, or doesn't stay nice - we can always go to the Clockhouse instead.

Hope to see you there*

*unless you have a valid Doctor's note (which will, of course, be treated with the strictest confidence)

PS. might bring some balloons/giant sunflowers just in case you miss me B)

[katie1997]
