June EDF Drinks - This Saturday 6th June at The Herne

[????]

Unless the weather improves we are likely to be a no

[Strawbs]

I will be chatting to jaws when she wakes up to see if we are still coming given the weather.. I was so hoping for a baking hot day!!

[citizenED]

Ah, fairweather forumites don't go for a drink in a pub if it's raining. Lucky it's not Manchester.

We should be there for about 3.30

[Bellenden Belle]

Looks like a no from us too.....sorry.

(*whispers*...can we go back to Fridays please)

I totally agree with the Friday thing!!

[Keef]

Not that today's weather has helped, but I think the idea was that the summer drinks would be nice on Saturdays so that people could start early, enjoy sunshine, and bring kids.

[georgia]

Yes it was - but if it isn't going to work then I agree we should go back to Fridays.

[bigbadwolf]

I'm going to be in east dulwich in the afternoon so I might pop in and say hello.

Could be a sideways move.

[Strawbs]

A agree Quids - if the weather was lovely sunshine there would be no problem. The whole idea of moving to a Saturday was to give those with families a chance to enjoy the drinks when they might otherwise be looking after kiddies on a Friday evening. Overcast skies and a bit of rain doesnt make it a bad idea.

[Moos]

Me too - we were planning to go but it's only fun for small kids if the outside area is warm.

[Asset]

plenty of kids enjoying the outside there this afternoon, nothing a fleece and warm socks couldn't deal with.

[lozzyloz]

Glad I went. Nice to meet a few more EDF parents and sprogs, plus the child free ones. Playground was dry and the kids had fun.

[Keef]

I still think it's a good idea, and would have gone, had I not been skint. Will definitely make an effort for the next one.

[citizenED]

The idea is perfect and am glad that it was put forward. We enjoyed ourselves and it was lovely to meet some other forumite parents, (nice to meet you pickle and sanitygirl and your little ones) as well as catching up with regulars. Only sorry I couldn't stay longer.

I thought the weather was fine and my two were in t-shirts and loved running around the playground. That said others were in coats and scarves and shivering with hot toddies and cups of coffee - note to self, better check out my thyroids.

Hope everyone has a good time tonight. I won't be there alas.

[Pickle]

Was lovely to meet some of you today, my two enjoyed themselves and it was nice to put some faces to names. Hope tonight goes well for those of you that make it - I'll do my best to come along to some drinks without the kids next time so I can have a proper conversation!

[bigbadwolf]

I had a good time.

[Strawbs]

we went and were surrounded by kids but had a great time! it wasnt too cold, outside for a bit inside for a bit.. met bbw finally and thought he was a nice guy! a little tipsy so glad home early..

[LegalEagle-ish]

Where is everyone?

[bigbadwolf]

I met Georgia for the second time, Strawbs, Jaws, Raj, MsMacgabhan, and the forum's two princes Sean and the majestic Mockney who is a gentleman and a scholar. I was handing out autographs all over the shop and nearly got brained by a flying sofa. Apart from that some interesting chit chat but to be honest I'd be surprised if they could hear me over my yellow top.

[Pam50]

aaahhhhh... where and when's the next one? Sounds lovely. Better than writing reports anyway....

[LegalEagle-ish]

I'm pissed off that I missed the wolf. Wanted to see if he's as bad as he writes!
