The earth.li half-birthday is the 10th August. We had a picnic in Oxford the weekend of the 8th/9th August in 2009. It was good. Let's do it again in 2010.

Saturday 14th/Sunday 15th seem to suit people best.

Turn up to the Angel and Greyhound meadow from 1 on Saturday. 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.

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

In the evening Angharad and Tristam will have a birthday BBQ.

On Sunday, meet at Magdalen Bridge for punting at 1pm. Bring lunch if you like.

It is a family friendly event (non-Earthling family members allowed).
