Y-es' date=' at the risk of sounding like an inexperienced picnic planner [i'](as if)[/i] who doesn't know her way around South London, or indeed, Peckham Rye park....I was gonna ask PeckhamRose or Charliecharlie for help here?

Or anyone on the forum who is coming along? Any helpful suggestions for where to meet on Peckham Rye park?*

Cheers.

The prettiest part of the Park is the Japanese garden, suggest you meet there above where the stream goes under the bridge.

[SimonM]

But there is too a signposted, dedicated and fenced-off picnic area is there not, complete with rustic tables and benches?

[giggirl]

Is this an actual event or is the forum collectively off it's face?

Yes, but it's part of the dog-free area and at least one person is bringing her woofer.

[Ladymuck]

...and we don't wish to indirectly discriminate against "Woof" either;-) or legalbeagle for that matter.

But, joking aside, a designated picnic area does sound like a sensible idea (though a pretty Japanese garden sounds idyllic)...oh decisions decisions...

Moos and SimonM - thanks so much for your helpful suggestions for whereabouts in the park to hold this. Hopefully this means you are coming along too!

Rustic tables and benches sounds fab as does the idyllic garden....guess it depends whether pets are coming too. Sure we'll find somewhere thats perfect (tu)

[Moos]

My pleasure, happy to share my love of PRP and its glories - I won't be there, but have fun and say hello to the heron. If you do sit in the Japanese garden and you're really blessed you'll see the kingfisher too!

[citizenED]

And the turtles too. And the big fish.

That part of the Japanese Garden is our favourite little spot too. And dogs are allowed, on a short leash.

Well...sounds as though that's that sorted then! Yippee!

Now for some sun.

[citizenED]

Er, perhaps not LM - it's a lovley little spot for a quiet family picnic but no good for a forum rabble who might frighten the ducks! Remember there will be a frisbee, assorted dangerous foodstuffs and, I dare say, some booze.

I'd opt for a spot on the Common in front of the cafe or by the children's playground in the park.

[giggirl]

Frighten the ducks! How on earth does one frighten the ducks? Show them pancakes and plumb sauce?

Speak for yourself citizenED!;-)

But yes - on reflection, you might well be right...shame.

[katie1997]

hahaha, hands up who is gonna take responsibility for The Dog? (only joking you-know-who)

.....and whats all this about forum 'rabble'? ;-)

*cancels bulk order for Pimms and strawberry cream teas, replaces with super-strength beer and pretzels*

[SimonM]

Well there's that nice strip between the Japanese Garden and the Bowling green which has nice views of both, is fenced off and won't frighten the water fowl. (I don't think I've seen a kingfisher there for two or possibly three years though anyway..)- or the big meadow facing the new school..or...or...loads of gorgeous spots to choose from really!

Am attending a school reunion that weekend so won't make it either :-)

I heard that Scoop's coconut ice-cream is going to be handed out free at the picnic...

[giggirl]

Just looked at my diary and I'm in Bath on 17th. Poo.

Had I been going, I'd have taken a 4 litre tub..

Been trying pistachio and banana lately ;-)

Hope the weather holds for this.
