CANCELLED - CAG picnic - or meet Brit Museum 1.00 if you are already in London

[BankFodder]

IMPORTANT UPDATE

 

Due to the expected poor weather in London today,

I suggest that we meet at The British Museum.

Lots of space - good place to meet and to decide where we might go from there.

 

I shall be there at 1.00pm with CAG sweatshirt - great hall near the library entrance.

 

Original message below.

 

============ ============= ============= =========== ============

 

 

 

We hope that many people will be able to come and meet us and each other at our picnic.

 

We are hoping that even some of our media contacts will be able to come - for enjoyment, not for stories and maybe even some banks and their lawyers may like to come too.

 

Hopefully we can all enjoy an amnesty and have a nice day out all together.

 

Hampstead Heath is a lovely location close to the heart of London but so large that is is easy to become totally lost. It is rather like being in the countryside.

 

This will be our second picnic. Last one was arranged just for the CAG team.

 

 

 

The venue:- Kenwood House on the back sloping lawn outside the Orangery -- Hampstead Heath.

Closest tube - Hampstead (Northern Line, Edgware branch) or Highgate (Norhern Line, Barnet Branch) - 15 mins walk from either.

from about 11.30 to about 5.00

 

You can have a look at the venue by putting the coordinates in the title to this thread into GoogleEarth.

 

Will we see you there?

 

I hope so, very much.

Apologies, I accidentally deleted the previous thread on this.

The last time we did that another mod (who will remain nameless) decided to get everyone to swap t shirts.

[dareclaimer]

I would love to be there

[BankFodder]

Incidentally, we hope that people will turn up with their families and friends.

1st July just happens to be the weekend i'm in London, might just walk over and introduce myself. Also isn't GP in the park that weekend too. ?

[Bookworm]

Who's GP?

[shywazz]

GP short for Gay Pride its there yearly get to gether same weekend if i'm not mis-taken ...

[Bookworm]

I always thought Gay Pride was at Brockwell Park, well, it used to be when I lived in West Norwood anyway.

I'll do my best but it might be a bit of a tall order to travel on the tube with a 4 year old and a 17 months old i'll try see if a mate can drive us there as im rubbish with directions!

[Bookworm]

Well, you made it to the Princess Louise ( a bit late, granted, but still!!! )

[bp]

true but was easier, i was on my own. The last time i went on the tube with the kids was 8 months ago and by God that was hell! it is not child friendly at all! I'll do my best i have a mate who works near there plus i'm off work on that day. I hope to see you all soon.

[make_me_happy]

I try and convince the family to come!!! It would be name to match names to faces!!!

We tried to do Tshirts for the last meet but not enough peeps were interested and because they wanted so much info on the shirts it made them quite expensive. If anyone however is interested pls let me know and I can get a quotation from one of the places where I work. ( that is when I am not on CAG)

[freakyleaky]

What about badges rather than t shirts? Much cheaper and could be mailed in advance at little cost?? Just a thought!!

[Bookworm]

Members of the admin team will be wearing CAG t-shirts. (And no, before anyone says anything, we are NOT putting a target sign in the back! )

[TUTTSI]

Hi all,

My other half and I will try to make it, as we have a party to go to late afternoon, we will pop down for a couple of hours arround 12ish. So where in this huge park are we actually meeting! which entrance!

 

The only time I have visited this park was to see Dirty Dancing open air concert last summer, even though it is fairly close to where we live.

Im interested!

 

Could just put CAG logo on small on left / right hand corner, then on the back put it, with username across the top!

 

If its too dear for usernames, just put dotted lines, bring some markers and you fill in your own! Shouldnt be more than a tenner surely and you can order more as n when!?!?

It is possible probs for under a tenner, in white with the coloured logo of CAG (which is 5 colours), last time they wanted as well something like " WE TOOK ON THE BANKS AND WON" This is what pushed up the price. I think putting individual user names could make them more expensive.

 

Maybe CAG have already got a supply of Tees, to save any further costs.

 

The parent company that I work for are wholesalers to the trade, so the Gildan or Fruit of the Loom tees are very reasonable and the sister company can do the printing.

 

So if anyone is interested just let me know we would also need to know sizes. They can also do them in childrens sizes for those bringing kids with. I could get a quote for say 50 to see what it comes too.
