***The Birmingham Meet ~ 8th Aug. Updated 1st Post***

[Flossy82]

I hope it would be the 8th as it would be more ideal

 

[Urchin]

Yeah we left it as the 8th I think

Kimbo I would possibly stay the night after, some people did this last time and we went out for a meal at TGI fridays 8)

We usually meet at midday so if you leave early that should give you plenty of time.

 

[Beth88]

ooo im only in Leicester, so only an hour away from Bham, so i might come along if thats cool

I might even have a bump by then!

thanks.... unless i book 2 nights that way, i wouldnt be rushing on either day. i will look around on the net this week for some prices.
i'm deffinately coming though, just unsure about 1 or 2 nights.

last year i set off at 9am and was still 30mins late and i didnt even have a baby then!
yeah deffo 2 nights i think.
i shall have it booked this week

 

[charlie84]

I shall be attending this hopefully Only a quick train ride away. Not sure i wanna brave Birmingham in the car

 

[SarahH]

I know I asked this last year - but how far is it from the airport to the park?

What would a taxi cost from the airport to the area that the meet is?

Am scared to do the train down there myself tbh!

 

[Kimbo]

40 mins i think it was .. i remember talking to u about it

 

[SarahH]

I need to calculate if Brian is home or away then with his work.... if he is home I will drag him with me for support.

If not will try to find someone else and maybe make a weekend of it?!?!

thank you for that.
im even thinking of getting the train down instead of driving. ive found it to be £12.50 trainfare ( i think ive done it right ), which would save a lot of money as last year it cost me £30 in petrol so that money saved could go towards the hotel

 

[Flossy82]

Il be staying over as its a long old trek otherwise just need to find out the price of the train fair i dread to think

 

[Dolly_R]

we can make either date and OH's parents live 45 mins outside of the city center so we have free accommodation too!

 

[clarey]

Think I will get the train though, how far is it from the station?

Yeah that seemed to work OK last year I think?

Clarey it's a short bus ride from the train station.

 

[evemarie8]

Urchin, I am having a panic, this thread says the meet is on the 8th of August but the Spring newsletter says its on the 15th????????? Please tell me its still the 8th otherwise I can't go

 

[trixipaws]

i hope to come! i dont work fridays so either is good for me.

 

[mrs_tommo22]

I think Il be coming girls, might skip the london one as it works out more money to go to that one then the birmingham one, its only a tenner train fare!

Will defintely make my mind up within the next couple of weeks
