Ok. This is my plan (after many hours of thought and discussion with DH, who is frankly getting fed up with the discussion!!!! ;) )

a. Lunch at Hard Rock Cafe around 12.30pm.

b. Fingers crossed for good weather, up to the castle grounds for quiz (if it rains, we'll go to plan b, when I think of it!!! :rolleyes: )

c. Sunday: Anyone who fancies lunch. Meet in market square for pub lunch. :banana:

Please let me know if you are defenitaly coming so I can make HRC booking.

Thanks, verity!

We've been back a short while too, we had a lovely time. We met in the Hard Rock Cafe in Nottingham at 12 Noon, and thankfully Verity was wearing a Mickey Mouse top so she was instantly recognised as a fellow dis-er who was with her hubby Simon, Natalie and her lovely family were there too (I had met Natalie before) and then Cheryl and her partner arrived just after us. We had a long table with balloons on and then we had a very nice meal. Afterwards we headed up to the Castle grounds for our Quiz - (wow I thought that Caths quiz was hard, and Verity had even done a photo round). After the quiz (which the mandymouse team won - woohoo !!!) we headed home, I wish we'd had more time to look around the castle - *** it looked really nice, maybe next time. We all had a lovely afternoon, meeting some fellow nutty, Disney mad fans.

I'll post some photos later.

Thanks Verity and Simon for organising a lovely afternoon.

It was lovely to meet you all. Thanks for posting the photos Mandy! i didn't mean to make the quiz too hard! Sorry, I must have been inspired by all the mean quiz mistresses recently! ;)

Cath let me know last night that her son was taken ill and they had to go back to Scotland.
Hope everything is ok cath.

Well hopefully we can do it again soon!

Sorry to hear about Cath's son; hopefully he's better now.

I'm glad the rest of you all had a good time :) The photos are great - I can now put more names to faces!

Hey Hilary, shall we have a mini meet at McDonalds on the M4. :rotfl2:

SueWell, it's a nice idea Sue, but somehow it doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Nottingham's Hard Rock Cafe and castle! ;)

Thank you Verity for organising the day!
:flower: :flower: :flower:

We had a great time. It was wonderful to meet other disney nuts. I had a hard time convincing my friends that night that we weren't all wearing anoraks (LOL) but Mandy's pics will help.

Hope to repeat it next year perhaps.

Hi all!
So disappointed I didn't make the meet!! :sad2:
We were in Milton Keynes, when DS took unwell - asthma linked to the pollen count. I couldn't leave him with DH while I was away having fun in Nottingham, ;) so we took him to a doctor, then decided to head home.

So wish I could have been there!! Looks like you had lots of fun
