The earth.li half-birthday is the 10th August. The nearest weekend to this in 2009 is Sat 8th-Sun 9th.

Let's have a picnic in Oxford that weekend.

Turn up to the Angel and Greyhound meadow from 1. Bring picnic food. Sainsburys is between the station and the meadow, there's a tescos on Cowley road. There is an off-licence just next door to the meadow If it's raining, we'll probably have to give up on the idea of a picnic and go to the pub instead. But it won't rain! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/oxford_forecast_weather.html

There is a map: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=109038423175744925654.0004703fa53c9629c6f14

In the evening I expect some of us will go for yet more food somewhere.

Other stuff may also happen over the weekend - for example Punting on the Sunday, or going to a pub. It is a family friendly event (non-Earthling family members allowed).
