I've been avoiding making this thread as there are so many meet threads at the moment, but so many people have been asking me about the main meet, I thought I'll just have to make one.

Turn right following the signs into Pebble Mill road and turn left at the end onto the Pershore road A441. Travel up the Pershore until the junction with Edgbaston Road, take a right towards the cricket ground. The entrance to the park is on the right directly opposite the cricket ground. Park at the very end of the car park if possible, follow it as far as you can go, try and park before it turns right onto grass. This is not crucial, but it's easier to get to the meeting point.

On arrival at the park, go over the bridge and enter the park itself.
You will see duckponds, the Meet will take place BEHIND them, so you will need to take a path between the ponds. There are trees running all along the back of the park, the bandstand is just in front of them, near the toliets and on the same path as the tearoom.
If you look at this map
you will see I have highlighted parking and the bandstand and tearoom.
The forecast is good so we will be meeting at the BANDSTAND,This is what it looks like
if it's really wet, we will be in the TEAROOM, it's on the same path as the bandstand, about 200m away, this is what it looks like:
FOR LATECOMERS: if it's sunny we will be picnicing in front of the bandstand, so we'll be easy to find, if its wet we'll stay in the tearoom.
PLEASE everyone look at the map! Print it if you can! After you enter the park it is still about a 5-10 minute walk, as long as you head toward the back of the park you should be OK, but there are MAPS about, so PLEASE try to find us before calling me!
