I have the greatest pleasure in posting this on behalf of Cavy Corner. For anyone who has never been before, just search 'pignic' on the forum or go to www.cavycorner.org

Sun 25 August Cavy Corner Annual Guinea Pigs PIGNIC 2013 From Noon.
New venue this year at The Scout HQ Barnsley Rd, Doncaster, South Yorkshire DN5 8SD.

Come and join Guineas and Guinea lovers from all over the country at the 4th annual event. This event will go ahead whatever the weather as there is also inside accommodation, just in case.
Guinea Goodies to buy, Competitions, Toilets, Refreshments, Disabled Access, Fun and Games, and LOTS of Guineas!
Bring your Guinea/s a run, cage top or pen so they can picnic on the lush grass whilst you enjoy a picnic too.
All welcome, with or without guineas but no dogs thanks. Please ensure guineas have food, water, hay and shade and are supervised and safe at all times. The PIGNIC is free to attend and fundraising activities will take place through out the day to support the rescued guineas who are cared for at Cavy Corner.
(Access via Barnsley Rd - Between Aldi and Sun Inn)

I can't praise this venue enough, It is the perfect place to meet piggy lovers and other forum members. So go and check you calender now and mark it down.
 
I'll be there as usual with a couple of cakes! Can't keep me away... :))
But you better make sure that you get your piece early this time, Mark! rolleyes

It is a lovely and relaxed piggy event and by now traditionally our inofficial forum meet for the East Midlands/South Yorkshire crowd with some people coming from much further away. Please come and have fun cuddling and admiring piggies as well meeting and chatting with all sorts of friendly piggy people. There are activities and some stalls, too. And picnic with your piggies indeed!
 
We would love to see you both there Lee, you would love it. I guarantee anyone that goes will have a great time.
I will be watching out for you arriving Wiebke and will help you unpack.
 
NNOOOOOOOO I'm away on honeymoon then. 8... I love the pignics. We will have to go to that pub for lunch again, it was really good last time.

Thanks. You will be able to see my pigs adventure "six go to aunty sarah's" while I am away. I know Sue G is looking forward to it.
 
OOh my OH is on nights that weekend so may be able to find a way up there.....
 
i would love to come and my girls are fine with car journeys but there is no way OH would be prepared to ferry me there and back :( if anyone can car share i'm in banbury and could split petrol costs!
 
Have pencilled this in my diary & will bring my 5 piggies inc. Minky if she's fully recovered from her op. No reason why she shouldn't be as she's eating everything I put in front of her & no sign of weight loss since her op 2 days ago. It's only a 80 to 90 minutes car journey so the piggies should easily cope with that. I'll probably put A 1.2m cage on the back seat with plenty of hay for them to burrow in.

Sue & I went to Cavy Corners' Xmas Grotto in December 2011 & really enjoyed it so are looking forward to this event. Hope to meet a lot of other forum members there.
 
That's a shame, Alison - it would have been nice to meet you, but I do understand.
 
Have you looked at cheap advance train tickets? I've gone by train most of the times - it can be cheaper than by car!
 
I will try and come. If I do, it will be a strange as I will have 3 different piggies to last year :( Eliza had lots of fun and hopefully will do again with her new friends x
 
Hope you can make it, Claire.

Just to let people know, if they've been trying the Cavy Corner website today it's not working. Sue and Winston are now aware, and hopefully they'll be back as soon as possible.
 
There are a few people in the Birmingham area that could possibly come together in one car and share the fuel costs. It wouldn't leave room for any piggies in the car but having some of you turn up that wouldn't ordinarily be able to make it would be so good.
It could be a piggy slave train lol.
 
Oooo! It's not far from me. I could bring the girls. Not sure I'd be brave enough though. I'm not too good socially. I'll have to think about it. :)

You will be in good company; you won't be the only shy one! Please come! None of us bite - we are all far too busy admiring piggies and chatting away about them... If you wear a name badge, one of us will help to introduce you to other people. :))
