Hi!
Finally something for us... I hope that we will have settled in Ripley by then.
What time is the meeting? How old are your kids? My Dominik is only 14 months so I hope that there will be something for him to do there.

I hope everyone can make it; sounds like it should be fun.

Dd will be just 2 years by then (her birthday is the Monday of that week) but as RB says, there will be children of all ages there. DD has loved soft play from before a year old!

Right,I have just spoken to Joanne @ Planet Happy.

If there are 10 or more chldren they will give us a special rate of £2 per (walking) child. This includes a drink and snack.

The price is usually £ per child if they are walking, or Free if not walking.

The price is for 2 hours.

She has suggested that as it is the holidays that we get there for them opening at 9.30am.

FD - I asked if there is a reduction for children with CP, she has said that they will sort that out on the day, so you may get it cheaper or free.

I have said that I will confirm the numbers nearer the time so can we please have definite replies by ther monday of that week.

This sounds like fun, but I am not sure DS & I will be able to make it as we would have to come on train and if we need to be there for 9.30 I'd have to leave at the crack of dawn. Have a nice time though! :0

Coming from Great Barr so would get a train from Birmingham. I will look at train timetable and see how long it takes!

It gets really busy is half term as it's the only one round here - if you get there and it's full they put you on a waiting list - which is a nightmare cause all you do is stand and wait till someones's two hrs are up.

Mez - nearest train station is Alfreton -
