THE BIG MEET - what
hello all! so.... i'm back with another discussion for us. please read carefully....
Thanks to all of your replies to the last post, i've worked out that this is going to be a meet for a minimum of 100people. If all of our OH's were to come then we're talking upto 140 from numbers given. Obviously this number will fluctuate a lot depending on whether people can come and who they can bring.... but lets use 100 as a vague estimate for the rest of our planning? Also we need to bare in mind some people may not have seen the last post and perhaps didn't reply with their figues. Lots of factors can change this number - just remember that nobody has commited yet, even if you can't 100% commit yet your ideas are still very much valid and appreciated!!
If you could choose, what sort of event would YOU like to go to. Just imagine, you get up early with hubby and LO's and bundle everybody onto a train for 3hours (tickets for which cost you a bomb).... not the best of journeys as the Lo's are playing up, OH is moaning and you've forgotten to pack lo's comforter....WHAT WOULD MAKE THIS JOURNEY WORTH WHILE?
food? entertainment? a playarea for the kids? should it be somewhere like a village hall and then we'll come up with lots of ideas for some light entertainment for both adults and kids.... or should we book somewhere where there's already things there like an indoor playarea or kids camp (butlins) sort of place??
it's going to have to provide a good afternoon full of fun. just as an example, i'd quite like it to be that we book a room (anywhere ie church, hotel) with some outdoor space.... get a bouncy castle, somebody who face paints, make sure there are lots of baby toys.... order a buffet, maybe a magician..... something of that sort.
we will discuss location/area/cost later on. please keep to the topic.
love you all!

another reason i'd personally like it to be our own venue that we book is like you said - we dont want to risk TROLLS!! lol
princessjanes i will organise the area on the next topic i post. i'm guna do it the fairest way possible but i'd imagine it will be somewhere central.
An outdoor area i agree would be fantastic especially if we arrange this for summer, and bedhead i totaly agree we need to cater for everybody
keep it coming!
I like the idea of a bouncy castle, and a indoor room booked so we could have different activities in the grounds. We'd need a food caterer as well, what sort of food would everyone want?! I personally wouldnt bring any food as 2 kids and a OH plus luggage is enough lol!

reading out to OH after the the pro evo comp has suddenly made my OH very enthusiastic about attending! funny that! - he suggested the daddy's making some arrangements about it on the BE widower facebook group Some body seems to have perked up about the idea all of a sudden!!! x
