Great - it's the one time you have to walk up to people and say "who are you?" (mind you, if they're not forum members they might think it a bit odd!)

I'm hoping still to come but after what happened to Dilys on Saturday I'm worried about leaving Basil on his own at the minute as he needs company and comfort and OH is out busy on Sunday.

I'll see if my parents can come over for a couple of hours to be with him and let you know later this week. x

Do you think Basil would benefit from being around other Piggies, there will be lots there, my three will be there. If you drive there just bring his pen for him or a garden run. I and many others would make sure that he gets plenty of attention and cuddles.
 
PIGNIC This Sunday 18/9/2011 update

Apologies for not being on here .... I have had an accident and badly hurt my back but the PIGNIC is still going ahead.
We will be holding our auction and our auctioneer is once again Sophie (from this forum) who did such an amazing job last year.

We have a range of piggie souveniers for sale, Jams, Cakes, Bric a brac, Plus our auction and a Tombola and a fabulous raffle and of course dozens of beautiful guineas. Their are various competitions to enter and a "just for fun" Cavy Corner Quiz.
We have a PIGNIC PLEDGE ( The chance to support a piggie in a particular way)

Additionally for small animal owners we have a little something for you to take home ( whilst stocks last) And no ...its not a piggie!

Meet some of the helpers and volunteers and "talk piggie" all afternoon.
Everyone welcome - with or without guineas.
Hope to see you on the day.
(oh and there's a prize for the furthest travelled visitor too!)
 
I am so sorry to hear about your bad back, Sue! I really hope that you won;t be in agony on Sunday!

It looks like I should be able to make it after all, despite all the upsets we have had this week! And I will be bringing a some members of the Tribe, thanks to Dindypig's kind help with the transport. :))

I'm looking very much forward to meeting more members of the forums and the piggy community!

Off to bake some cake now!
 
I am hoping to come along too! Slightly nervous but it sounds a good chance to support Cavy Corner and meet some forum legends eg Wiebke!:)
Not bringing the boy pigs unfortunately but that means I can hopefully cuddle someone elses piggy...... See you Sunday, cucumber up the sleeve
 
I hope you don't feel nervous about meeting a lot of strangers, please don't. They're all lovely people, and it's so nice to put names and faces together. They won't all be forum people of course, but I'm sure you'll feel comfortable.

So glad you're coming after all, Wiebke - looking forward to seeing you.

Make a point of finding me and I'll introduce you someone else who will introduce you to someone else who will...........................................
 
Exactly right, Dindypig .......... see you (and everyone else) tomorrow.
 
Not only looking forward to the PIGNIC but I am especially excited about seeing Debbie (Furryfriends) with Kevin & Perry the boys Debbie is fostering for us while his teeth issues are sorted xx>>>
 
So sorry I've not managed to get there. I was getting my things together to set off when OH called to say he had a problem with his van so he's had to use my car instead and leave the van where it is.

Really disappointed as I was so looking forward to it :(.

Hope everyone had a lovely time. x
 
I'm sorry you couldn't get there, we were looking out for you. I asked a fair few total strangers if they were 'Katie from Hull'.

Hopefully we'll meet up at the half term get together,

Sarah
 
It was a great day, and lovely to see so many familiar faces, and to meet some new ones as well (Salt n Peppers Mum for one). And thank you again for lending me your piggies to cuddle, Sarah - a most enjoyable time was had by me and I hope them - I did love the two little'uns.
 
Was happy to 'grab' people for a chat :))

Sue G - Toast & homemade marmalade drool Yummy yum yum

Furryfriends (Debbie) and first_time_piggie_mum (Sue) thank you for taking the time to drop in to see me first with Kevin & Perry, I was so so happy to see Kevin so 'fat' and energetic and love the Kevin and Perry cuddles. x)

Wiebke, lovely to chat with you, and gplearner -c

And my daughter won a great prize on the raffle too
 
Here are some pictures from the meet - please excuse that I didn't get round to snap all forum members attending; I was too busy chatting, cuddling and introducing forum members to the Tribe. It was a great help when members wore some label with their forum names on!

(Sorry, Paula (Salt&Pepper), you were always either turning your back or disppearing in the crowd whenever I remembered my camera, but it was great meeting you and gplearner - who also sadly escaped the camera - with her two children!)

Ooooh looks like you had a fab day! Thanks for posting pigtures Wiebke! I love that Hywel has a look-a-like! I saw the photo on facebook, what a resemblance!
 
Thank you Wiebke! Yes thats my name :)) and thank you for letting me have a cuddle with your beautiful little girl Ffowlyn (?)

I also took some pigtures, but of piggies only so will post those a bit later drool
 
Everyone was asking "which one is Katie?" .... no, I'm exaggerating, a few people asked. Hopefully next time? It was a wonderful day.
