Looking at the weather forecast we might have trouble keeping a BBQ alight even if we were allowed to have it there. Do we have a back-up plan for rain?

If the weather gets bad we could just postpone until the 10th at Mapleleafdude's house.
Should we move it over to the Stadtpark so we can BBQ? I don't mind just bringing already prepared stuff and things to make sandwiches, etc. so we can keep it at P & B.

Sounds fine with me.
Last time the weather turned for the better and there is a huge roof at the playground at PB.
Pre made stuff is fine no hassle.

Ok lets do pre made stuff then -thats fine for me too. I'd be happy to switch to Stadtpark but if there is a big covered area at P&B then thats better in case it does rain.I'm not sure what to bring now food wise mmmmm?

I was thinking of bringing a pasta salad or deviled eggs (mmm.) I'd love to make cocktails as Shell suggested - can anyone bring ice?
Shell Andrews
Jul 31 2008, 5:48 pm
i'll bring the ice
Mapleleafdude

only 2 L/sqm of rain on Sunday so we could just make a quick dash if it does rain for the roof.

@K Lietsche, yes, please come. We will see you at 1pm tomorrow.
@mapleleafdude, I didn't understand your post of numbers. Was that just the people you are bringing, or all of us?
I am just a 1.
@Shell, after the fun we had last night, I don't think I'm up for cocktails in the park. Do you want to bring ice and we can chill a few beers?
Shell Andrews
Aug 3 2008, 8:39 am
@ Laurel -Yeah definately not up for cocktails today either- I'll bring the ice and a few beers instead.

We'll be there too but we're going somewhere else this morning so if we're not at Dammtor at 1pm then we'll see you either at the big playground or the grass where we had the picnic before. I have Jerry's mobile number so I can find out where you are. See you later.

Sorry for the late post...My husband and I will stop by with my daughter (almost 1 year old). We are meeting another couple with their child at P&B and they are also English speaking. Will bring some sweet and savory snacks to share with some sandwiches/beverages to cover our bunch. Cheers! Sally, Gerrit & Lilly

@ Sally, I'm so glad you are going to come, I look forward to seeing you and Lilly again and meeting you husband.
I have made some Honey Joys ('cos I know you like them Marymanu) and Mars Bar slice, another Aussie delight. I am going to grab some rolls on the way and some meats and stuff too. All my plans to make some lovely, home made, savoury yumminess went out the window yesterday with most of my other plans

.
We will see you all at Dammtor at 1 - hopefully the rain stays away for the afternoon.

I might be there more at 1:05. If I don't see you at the Southside exit, I have Shell's mobile number and can hopefully figure out where you are.

Well we made it yesterday but as I found out too late that the only face I know couldn't make it then we didn't manage to meet up with anyone else. Never mind, we still had fun and maybe we get to meet next up next time.
Mapleleafdude
Aug 4 2008, 5:43 pm

we waited at dammtor for about half an hour.

sorry we missed you. the kids were getting restless so we decided to find a place to sit and picnic. we were right near the playground, between the botanical gartenshaus and the covered sidewalk to the playground. for anyone who wants to see pics i posted a few in the gallery. i like the one where noah is pointing something out to his parents and you can see grace and sequoia doing cartwheels in the background

@mapleleafdude: I posted the pics in the gallery, you should be able to just click on gallery and then its one of the more recent albums.
Sorry I need to check more often, we were on the Ostsee on Sunday. The weather wasnt too great, it rained off and on the whole day.
We did manage to get in some playground and beach time inbetween though.

Not sure about the time, Mat's going to go to the Hamburg Players' audition, that's on Friday and Sunday, don't know how long he will be there.
But I'll be there and he could join later. Please let us have the address.
We'll bring a rucola salad, and Bavarian beer

Please let us know if we can bring anything else.
Mapleleafdude

Sounds great Hammonia. The BBQ will be on the whole time so everyone can bring any other stuff to put on.
Mapleleafdude
Sep 4 2008, 8:41 pm
Just a reminder of the BBQ at my place this Sunday. Enough space to play in the backyard and lotsa toys in the garden.
Everyone can bring something and I`ll handle the beer and coke/apple juice etc. I'll have burgers und maybe dogs but feel free to bring something else for the grill (cows wont fit).
