How about we aim to gather about 12 for lunch. Picnic or cafe?
In which case Dafyd if you aim to be on a train that gets in about 1130 I'll come and get you to join the fun. Phone number sounds right.
Looking forward to seeing lots of people ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

There's a train gets into Livingston North at 11.29 apparently. So that should be doable.

Excellent. I'll collect you from that one unless I hear otherwise Scz and the sczlet will head down to the farm and meet people there.

I shall be making this a dual purpose trip. My car will be full of cheer, music and my friend H's stuff to go to the south. That means it'd be best if I only have me and the Quine to transport.
Cattyish, it's all coming together.

Update: My car will now have room for two more, even if all the people wanting a lift still want a lift, so let me know.
Cattyish, freed from responsibility, let's party!

We'll aim to get there for 11.30-12ish. Trying to stay in denial about the weather forecast... ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif)

Would the cafe mind if people brought along anything extra they think their children might like?
As Jack the Lass says, it's not looking promising for a picnic.

I think the cafe generally cope with people providing their own toddler food if the adults are eating cafe food - it's probably technically not allowed but I'm sure I've fed the sczlet all sorts of things there. They'd probably not be happy if you took cheese sandwiches rather than buying theirs sort of thing.
Haven't looked at the weather forecast, and now don't think I want to! Sounds like we're going for cafe then.
Just doing a quick check through to see who we might be expecting:
Scz, Derf + Sczlet
JtL, TME + the Elf Lass
Alan C + 2 mini Cresswells (+ possibly MA?)
Dafyd + Mrs Dafyd + Dafling
Cottontail
NEQ + Cattyish
Have I forgotten anyone? Not that it matters in terms of numbers or anything, more a case of who are we looking out for.
See you all tomorrow ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

Woohoo! If we get a chance, NEQ and I will drop in on Dundee on the way by.
Cattyish, feeling suitably sociable already.

Lovely to see everybody. The Dafling fell asleep on the train back home. She has since woken up and told us she wants to go back.
Good to meet the sczlet (much bigger) and the wee Elf.

Two mini-Cresswells were asleep within 10 minutes of getting in the car. After staying on until they were lose to throwing us out at closing time. Good to meet up again.

It was good to meet up with people again. It seems a long time since I last met many of you.
Thanks to Alan for reminding me about this meet!

It was a great day out, including a mini-meet en route for second breakfast with Surfing Madness.

*What* exactly am I doing in that first photo?!!! Thank goodness you can't see my face, I bet I was gurning.
Thanks so much to Derf for organising this meet, we really enjoyed ourselves and it was great to meet folk again. It will be a good place to go back to when the Elf Lass is a bit older and can appreciate all the goodies on offer!

I'm jealous you all managed to go on the train given we've still not managed it! Was lovely to see everyone, we just need to arrange better weather next time.

That was fun.
Thank you, Derf, for organising this. It was great to see folks again, and to see how the various Shiplings are growing.
And yes, JtL, I wondered about that photo too!
