right filthfan arranged the last one and it was imo a great day a picnic in western park but as its a little cold so i was thinking of having it somewhere in doors! thanks again filth :thumbsup: my son loved it so im thinking of doing another for the parents who havnt gotton out over xmas due to no babysitter or financial restricians whatever reason and of course it is open to people who dont have children but just want to come and join in

firstly i need to know how many would be interested so i can arrange a venue and secondly what venue would you like it to be at?

i shall be ringing the venue with the estimated numbers later to try and get a discount thats if you have to pay and post details of the venue ect ect later on? so anyone interested please say so and vote on a venue above thanks for your time and intrest:thumbsup:

There is always the little 'tots to tens' near dog track at hillsbrough if you lot fancy going there. Its like a big fun house kinda thing and the adults get to play there too.. lol Theres also a little cafe type place so you adults could sit in there while watch the children playin if you wish.

I dont think its pricey either when i last went i think the prices was..

1.50 fot the full day for a child under 3
2.50 for a child upto the age of 10 (dont quote me on this)

Lazer Quest? or whatever it's called?

Is it expensive?

GothicCharm
03-01-2006, 07:17
Last thing I remember about lazer quest is it wasn't all that expensive.. put it this way I payed for me and my french exchange to go and I'm a little bit stingy sometimes.
It's good exercise but you don't look very attractive when you come out.

lets not forget that some people have children under 5 and between 5 and 10 so this will need to cater for them both really:thumbsup:

That would be fun for us. Only, if I may ask as much, can we do it at a time slot that doesn't run over a meal time as these places are notorious for dead, unhealthy food.

Thank you for going to the trouble Katy, you are a star.

My partner would be up for this but the cost isn't realistic, our girls are 10 weeks old and obviously won't play.
Are parents still charged for kids who can't do anything?
