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. :))

Thank you. :)

I would be coming by train. How far is it from the station? Is it within walking distance for someone with a pet carrier in one hand and some kind of run in the other? lol :))

Have you looked at cheap advance train tickets? I've gone by train most of the times - it can be cheaper than by car!

not sure who this was to but my train is two changes, one at birmingham which would be hectic. i wouldn't get there until 1 o'clock and it would cost about £50.

i'm guessing no one is going from oxford/northampton area? :(

It's in the south of Doncaster, you'll probably need to get a taxi from the station.

I can bring an extra run or cage top if I know you're definitely coming, then you only have to worry about carrying one item.

I've spoken to Suze at Cavy Corner this evening, and she said if you can contact her in advance (her phone number is on the Cavy Corner website - or please pm me) she will try and arrange for someone to collect you from the station.

Thank you, very kind of you. There would be two of us and two piggies. I will let you know for definite nearer the time. :)
 
I just spoke to Sue and I will be selling cuddle pockets etc to raise money for Cavy Corner on the day. All monies raised will go to the rescue. She also said that the scout HQ is on private grounds and fenced in, so the grass will be safe for piggies, and that we can use the car park of The Sun Inn which is nearby. There aren't a lot of parking spaces in front of the scout hut and we ought to leave those for any disabled visitors to the fun day out.
There is a kitchen in the scout hut so tea, coffee and buns will be happening.
I can also vouch for the amazing friendliness of piggy people. They are lovely people and often quite shy, but the fact that we can all talk about our piggies and cuddle them makes all the difference I've found. I can recommend wearing a name badge on the day, so people know who you are. I will be. Do please come along if you are able to, it is a lovely day out.
 
Woo hoo! Just booked our train tickets! That means we're definitely going! Getting a bit excited now. :))
 
Gutted we won't be able to make this one :( Hope you guys have loads of fun x
 
Wish I could come but it's a bit far for me and the girls although they did enjoy rugby! I think they just like being admired!

I look forward to seeing many pictures and hearing the stories

Have fun everyone
 
Aw I would have loved to come but I'm unable to drive at the moment and I cant ask my sister to come and get me AND put me and my piggies up AND push my wheelchair AGAIN lol. Maybe, hopefully I can get there next year as I will have more notice of the time and date. I might also have got rid of the pesky wheelchair. Good luck piggies and slaves, have a great day! :)
 
Just tried to PM you Wiebke, your inbox is full. Are you trying to match arrival times with MargaretB? I can pick you both up together then.
 
I am probably on the same train as MargaretB, as I am arriving in Doncaster via Derby at 11.52 with the earliest train going out of Coventry.

I will have my mobile with me so I can text you if things go funny again, Dindypig!
 
I'm all set for the Cavy Corner Pignic tomorrow. Really looking forward to it & the weather might just be OK.

Taking my wife, Sue & piggies, Mother, Mousey, Minky, Minnie & Mitch. You've read about, now you can meet them.

Anyone else going?
 
See you tomorrow ........ it's rained here (Essex ) ALL DAY, but the forecast for Doncaster tomorrow is hopefully good.
 
See you all later. :) I'm getting nervous & excited at the same time. The girls have been brushed and bags packed, so we're all ready to go!
 
Wish me luck - I need to catch seven trains in all today for my big trip to the Pignic and then on to Milhaven rescue in Keighley - surely that is tempting fate?
At least the nectarine and plum cakes have turned out right (which I am bringing instead of my piggies)!

They look very tempting, almost enough to pull me from my diet.
 
Have a great time, we know you all will... ;)

Don't forget now LOTS & LOTS of pigtures.. :))

Lisa & Ali.. xx
 
I'm just back from this and it was a great day seeing friends and piggies :)

Wiebke's cakes sold VERY fast before I had a chance to buy :(

It was nice to meet you Stewybus and put a face to the name.

My piggies have had a nice time too and are currently crashed out in their shed x
