Meeting in New Farm Park in the centre on the grassy area under the tree as last time (as you enter the park facing the grassy area to the left hand side of the park).

Time 11:30 onwards

Everyone welcome hope to see you there
Hello, we are a family of four, Jason, Elin, Ruben (7) & Ella (4), living in Margate. We arrived nearly 3 weeks ago, and would love to join you all for a picnic in New Farm Park. Great idea! See you there!

I have not heard otherwise. The last one we held about half showed up that said they were going.

I might know more after the mothers meet on friday there are a few of us there so can check if they are still up for it

Hi all

Just to bump this up in case anyone else wants to come and join us. We may be a little late as we have an appointment at 11am now (cant get out of it) but are going to head straight there after that.

So same place as last time to those who came before and for the newbies as you arrive into New Farm Park facing the green grass in the centre to the far left hand side there is a big tree providing shade near to some rose garden beds. We will be setting up camp there and then wandering over to a BBQ as and when we need to.

Bring along some toys for the older kids. Ball cricket set etc...

See you there

Jo

We are still going but won't be there until about 12.30 as have 2 birthday parties to attend first.

I think it maybe a bit of a guessing game to find the group as from the sounds of it, the ones who do know each other are all arriving slightly later than 11.30am!! But I'm sure we will all meet up eventually with all the british accents!!!

Nicola

There is plenty of car parking you can park all the way around the edge of the park so you will get something.

See you there. Like Lianne said it will be a case of listening out for the british accents. If anyone wants my mobile number PM me and I will message you back.

Cheers

Did anyone turn up?

we walked around the whole park 3 times and couldnt hear anyone with uk accents. I stupidly didnt get anyone's mobile number not realising that the park was so big and it would be so busy.

went home after an hour with one very grumpy 8 year old.

Never mind, it was a beatiful park and we will probably go there again sometime.
