I think marty has... sure I've seen a pic of him in some odd orange igloo thing

 

[madzone]

And here he is this weekend trotting off to a Henry Moore sculpture park. A right little kulcha vulcha ain't he?

 

[wtfftw]

I want to go. Mum enjoyed it.

 

[chezdor]

Yeah, worth booking in advance for the paddling pool of it might be a nice day
Not as good as his other stuff imo (too much wood getting in the way) but still worth seeing. And some of the new decor stuff on the floor below is cool too.
If you book a meal deal at skylon in royal festival hall (2 courses for 20 quid) you can get into the exhibition for free (usually 11 quid) - so effectively a really nice brazilian meal for 9 pounds... think about it. Also if you're with hsbc take your card along and when you buy your ticket you get a voucher for a free cocktail.

Blimey that sounds good

Drag0n - I'm up on the last weekend in August and I have to fit in at least one exhibition to justify it It would be nice if some others wanted to tag along too

do it!

 

[spanglechick]

I'd probably be up for it (and the lunch thing - sounds value) but not if you wanted to go some crazy early in the morning shit.

 

[madzone]

Good god no. It takes me till at least 12 to peel myself off the sofa when I'm there.

It was a lot of fun, worth going to, the tent/igloo thing was great, there is also a little swimming pool on the roof, you have to book that.

And here he is this weekend trotting off to a Henry Moore sculpture park. A right little kulcha vulcha ain't he?

aye, although Mrs21 organises these things, I just go along

 

[madzone]

What was the Henry Moore park like?

 

[wtfftw]

I'd join an afternoon excursion

What was the Henry Moore park like?

it is lovely, I'll post some pictures later, it's the gardens of his old gaff, in Much Hadham in Herts, about 30 or so statues in the grounds, plus a couple of galleries exhibiting prints. You get to tour his house too, that was a bit dull tbf, you have to be accompanied by a tour guide, I don't really like that sort of thing. But the statues are brilliant, lovely gardens too.

 

[madzone]

I'd love to see some pictures. I like Henry Moore. I found out soemthing interesting about him a couple of months ago but I've forgotten it already

 

[madzone]

That deal is for a maximum of 6 people and last orders for lunch are 2.30. Reckon we can do it?

 

[marty21]

[madzone]

Ace! Thanks Marty

 

[wtfftw]

Bump.
Still want to do this?

 

[madzone]

Yes! I definitely do

I think the best day for me will be the Monday (30th) How are people sorted for that?

 

[wtfftw]

Quick, let's pick a time that suits us and then anyone else can join in.

My train back is about 5pm ish so any time that gives me enough time to get to Paddington.

 

[spanglechick]

I'm no longer around that weekend... so I can't come.

 

[madzone]

Bugger

 

[spanglechick]

I hope you're going somewhere good instead.

 

[spanglechick]

I hope you're going somewhere good instead.

Will be at the fringe (or on the way home), so yes - but the timing sucks.

I figure that's an acceptable excuse.
