    Default Let's have a vegan London picnic!

    Who's in?

    Maybe some time mid to late June in Hyde Park?

    Picnics are always good.

    How about a Sunday as some of us work saturdays?

    It's worth being flexible with the date as London's weather can be rather unpredictable.

    Maybe a couple of picnics over the summer are possible in different parks?

    I'm in. But in case you missed it, we already had one. One with sun, and bees, would be better though.

    I am definitely defintely up for this. When the good weather kicks in (i.e. weather like today's!), we should do this a few times over the summer. However, the end of June is always bad because as a Glastonbury veteran I can tell you that it ALWAYS rains on that weekend!

    Anyway, I think PAULSKI should come down for this.

    I recommend We do Saturday one time, and then a bit later do a Sunday.

    What a miracle worker I am.

    I can do any day, as long as I have enough notice. Are weekdays good for people in general?

    When it's really hot (HA!) I think a post-work weekday evening picnic/dinner would be nice. Chilling out in the park after a long hot day at work.

    The is a vegan forum for vegan people.

    I'll probably be up for a picnic depending on the wheres and whens and what's going down with work at the time.

    Whichever day we pick, there's always gonna be someone who can't make it.

    We can go with the day which most people can do. So let's put it to the vote. Everyone state your preferred day, and your no-no day(s), if you have any.

    Preferred: Saturday.
    No-No: National tranparent trousers day (in other words, any day is fine for me).

    June I think, although in sunnier years we've had one meet-up a month roughly so May is also a possibility.

    Saturdays/sundays are usually better, because if placement do give me weekends, i have the option of refusing to do them!

    I'm sure I'm in the minority but I prefer weekdays. Obviously I will go with the flow and come whenever things are arranged if I'm free! (I have lots of prior plans and commitments, especially in May.)

    eta I like the sound of Absent's hot weather post-work cool-down on a weekday evening suggestion too.

    I'll come too btw and I can do either weekend day. I'm away for the last 2 weeks of June though, so I'd like to request an earlier time than that, if poss for others.
    What about the bank holiday weekend at the end of May? It's normally nice weather then (except last year) Everyone might be able to do the monday due to NO WORK woohoo

    If travel and pubs aren't affected that may be a fine idea.
