Just checking! Is the guinea pig party still going ahead?

It most definitely is!
It will be hosted by Becklen Rescue.
And it will be at Helen's House at the Mill Hotel.
Any Becklen rescue pigs who are in rescue at Hels's (not at Becky's) will be there, as will Helen's own hairy and skinny pigs. My motley crew may still be there as the Meet is at the end of my hols and ours go and stay with their Auntie Hels.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR OWN PIGS:))

The plan for the day is open house for the afternoon, with light nibbles, tea and coffee. During afternoon we'll have meet the pigs, and a few games/raffle/selling stuff to raise funds for Becklen. We hope to get some poster boards done telling you abut some of our work, and ones about our more special pigs including Buddy, Paloma and Harry.
Games planned include 'guess the weight of the piggie', guess the number of nuggets (yes we have found a volunteer to count them out:(|)) and guess the name of the piggie.
I think Becky also hopes that the calendars will also be for sale.
Tom (Mr Boozyfruits) and Paul (Mr Mojules), have already declared there will be a 'bloke-zone' where they can hide from the 'mad piggy women':(|)

At 6/6.30ish we plan to head over to the bar and then have a meal (all optional, of course). We have to be out of Hels's house by 1830 as little Dan needs to head to bed.

If you would like to help out organising the day, please PM me for the link to our organising group on facebook.

Looking forward to seeing as many people as possible
Becca
 
My hubbie is also coming, brave man that he is! As I said before I am happy to help organise but I am not a facebook user so please just keep me up on the news!
 
I'm looking forward to it too:)

I think there may be a lot of people there with big coats/bags so they can smuggle out their favourite piggies! I personally have my eye on a few!
 
Yes folks I am the lucky volunteer who offered to count the nuggets :)) just got to get my hands on a plastic jar and a bag of nuggets but that is all planned paws crossed

I'm not allowed to take any big coats or bags or I will end up living in the shed with the pigs... On second thoughts, that's actually not a bad idea! :))

I am on a piggy ban :( in fact my hubby is keen for me to reduce our piggy numbers 8...
 
Chris' mom found the receipt for the B&B booking, and was worried we were running off to get married :p i told him she'd say that...

i'd've loved to have seen her face when he enthusiastically told her it was for a 'piggie convention' :)) i can't see him wanting to escape to a bloke zone. though i may end up there :p

Is this open to everyone? The thing is I'd be on my own, I don't know any other TGPF users and it seems everyone is bringing a partner. Please say some of you are coming on your own, who don't know anyone…

i think there will be quite a few people on their own, or else coming up with partner who will drop them off and run for the hills (or the pub:(|)).
i've only met 3 or 4 people face to face before. Hels was surprised when i told her i've never met becky - i've spoken to her for hours on the phone, by email, and even worked with her sister in law, but we have never met in the flesh.
it is going to be fun finally getting to meet people. i wonder how different our 'cyber image' of them differs from reality.
it should be a great day - the more the merrier.
Becca

p.s. we may be asking nearer the time, again, who is coming, so we have enough biccies and teabags:(|)
 
Thanks Becca,

Yes we will need to know exactly who is coming and we will do a thread nearer the time asking you to PM us so we have approximate numbers for the food/raffle stuff etc.

Quite a few people will be here on their own and its totally nothing formal just a get together for like minded people and to show you round this particular part of Sokel/Becklen rescue in Gretna - you will also meet my own pigs - Bobby/Valerie and my other pigguns too.

We may well make badges up as I am sure will will recognise each other with our forum names ha ha. Or are badges a silly idea. ha ha.
