Craft Olympics Day in Leics - Sat 4th August

[Waley]

Hi all. I am helping to plan an event at Whetstone Pastures Farm to celebrate the Olympics. On the weekend of 4th and 5th August we are having two special days at the farm: Saturday is all about crafts, Sunday is about fruit, all with a sporting theme. As Morsbags have been so popular at the farm, we would like to have a mini Morsbag workshop in the tea room on the SATURDAY (or outside if it's fine!) with some fun activities too. Offcuts has already had her thinking cap on and thought up a Morsbag Marathon, relay race and sack races (with giant Morsbags!).

I know it's a busy time for many of you but if anyone would like to come along and help out, it should be lots of fun (and would be much appreciated). It doesn't have to just be Leicestershire based baggers - if any of you further afield fancies a trip to the farm, would be lovely to see you!

What an amazing idea.... Sounds much more exciting than the actual Olympics if you ask me

[Offcuts]

Sazzie - how long have I been talking about morsbag olympics?! I am so excited!!

[beattie]

Wow! I have to say that I'm tempted.... Morsbag olympics, much better than the real ones

[Offcuts]

It would be lovely to see you Beattie. I thought it would appeal to your competitive streak! I think there is a campsite on the farm or nearby!

[sazziej]

Offcuts - you have indeed been talking about it for a while

[Offcuts]

And practicing!

Oooh Waley, can I do anything ?! Sounds lots of fun!

[Waley]

Butterfly - definitely! Thank you. Will add further details soon.

Beattie - yes, there's a campsite nearby (the neighbouring farm): http://www.whetstonegorse.co.uk/caravan-site

Waley, the sazzies are coming, premier inn booked, we may be a bit weary as we only return from our holiday the day before.... Let me know what you would like us to bring , I will help out wherever I can be of most use, Mr Sazzie will be entertaining Miss Evie .... Excited is an understatement !

[Offcuts]

Yaay!!! you don't have to do anything, just to be there is more than enough!! There are lots of lovely things at the farm for Miss Evie to do!

[Waley]

Fantastic! Will be great to see you. Let's hope the sun shines......!

[Offcuts]

Course it will! The sun always shines on optimistic morsbaggers!
