Would anyone like to meet up? I know it was being discussed before and Ziggy has also joined too, so there would be a few of us. I was thinking about Sutton Park if people can get there? If not, any other ideas? It would be lovely to meet people (and of course, the dogs too :lol: ).

sounds good to me - we're in Telford - not sure where Sutton Park is - but I'm sure with the use of auto route and the Birmingham A - Z I'd find it :)
As another idea how about Cannock Chase?
-
Hi,
I know I'm in Leicester and hence, technically, in the East Midlands, but my parents live in Aldridge (Tilly's favourite holiday home!) and I have spent many happy hours walking my springers in both Sutton Park and on Cannock Chase when I still lived at home. I would love to join in a get-together as I could combine it with a visit to the Old Folks (lots of Brownie points if I take Tilly too, you see!) So, if you could accept an interloper from the East Midlands, please count me in too! Just to note the provisional date for the East Mids Get-Together is 4th April, so I would not be able to make that.
Cheers,
Sue

Although realistically it's unlikely I would be able to come as I'm pretty booked up most weekends for the foreseeable future, I'd like to signal my interest too - I too could maybe visit family in Telford and Wolves :D
Others who might be interested off the top of my head are T in Leicester, and Jen in Solihull?
-
There's Cbabe as well, but I haven't seen her around for a while; and I'm sure there's some peeps actually in Telford - I think there was a lady in Ironbridge
-
lookin forward to setting a date, :D :D :D :D :D
-
Yes I could do cannock chase if people preferred that idea :D
-
i know sutton park,but not cannock chase,with directions,i,m sure it won,t be a problem,,so when can all these lovely cockers get to meet? :D
-
8) Yeahayy whowl-whowl-whowl!! another meet! Great, yeah, ball, yeah, park, yeah!
When when when !?! :shock:
-
I'm easy - dont know either venue but armed with a map should be fine if I'm able to make it :D
-
Ok - what date can we all make then?
We could do:
either day weekend 10th April (or even Good Friday)
either day weekend 1st May
We're going to the NW meet on 17th and a doggy walk with the dog owners from work on 24th - we're actually going to Cannock Chase so if anyone wants to join us there as well you're more than welcome!!
There'll be about 10 dogs and about 15 people on that one, we hope to find a doggy friendly pub for a bite to eat afterwards.
At a push we could do either day weekend 3rd April, but I'm on call for work, although I wouldn't have to go anywhere, just answer queries on the mobile, so it shouldn't be too big a problem.
What can anyone else make ?
-
Phil and I went for our first walk with Bleu in Sutton Park today. She had a great time mooching in all the leaves and undergrowth. We let her off the lead and she was as good as gold. :D Saw another cocker there too.Sutton park is easiest for me as its only 5 mins away. I'm pretty flexible about dates as long as it's a weekend. Just need a bit of warning as Phil is dying to go kiteboarding again now the weather is getting warmer :shock: so we usually go to the east coast every other weekend.
Andrea, Phil and Bleu
-
With a little bit of notice, Tina, Buster and myself could be tempted.
Cannack Chase would probably be the best for us.
Look forward to maybe meeting up soon.
Mike.

Maybe we need to have a vote?
I don't actually know where cannock chase is, never been, Sutton Park is much easier for me, but I will go wherever the vote says :lol:
-
I think we need a vote, I'm easy either way
Where abouts is Sutton Park? Does anyone have a postcode or something so we can get a better idea of where it is?
****edited to add - it hink I just found it in my A to Z .. a huge green bit next to Walsall ... :lol: - its not too far away for us, probably about an hour, so it looks good for Sutton Park for us ***
What dates can everyone make?
-
:?: :?: Did this happen or due to happen :?: :?:
Broken laptop & holiday so only just back online after 3 whole weeks :!:
-
We're up for this now that Tilly's season seems finally to be coming to an end . Sutton Park is in Sutton Coldfield - there are several gates and car parks. I am over in the West Mids tomorrow visiting my parents, so I will check out which might be the most suitable entrance and take advice on some directions for you. It's at least 10 years since I was last there and my memory is not so good!
Sundays are most suitable for us.
I think we need to agree on a date now, so how about 9th May as a starter for ten?
Who's interested?
Sue and Tilly
-
I can't make 9th :( My husband works shifts and he is working the night of 8th and then again on 9th so it wouldn't be fair to expect him to watch the children during the day.
I can make 16th?
-
I'm pretty sure I can make the 16th.
Andrea and Bleu
-
Pretty much any sunday in May is good for us so far, so whatever the majority are happy to do, we'll tag along! :)
-
ok, lets get this rolling again ... :D
Who's up for the 16th May then ?
-
Hi Kelly,
We are up for this on 16th. Are we still thinking of Sutton Park? I have a very old map of Sutton Park, but unfortunately it doesn't show the car-parks and it is so old I fear the Park may have chamged a lot since it was printed! Maybe someone local can advise, or should we go somewhere else?
Sue and Tilly
-
I can do 16th :D Sutton Park sounds good.
-
Yup I think we'd decided on Sutton Park
I've never been there, so have no idea on where the car parks are - can any one more local, or with more knowledge of the area give an idea of the best car park to meet in?
I have a 95 edition of the Birmingham AtoZ (upto date i know :roll: ) and I can't see anything marked as 'car park' on it
-
It depends which direction you are coming from. All of the entrances to the park have areas to park cars. The nearest to me (I live not far from junction 7 of the M6) is the entrance at the junction of Banners Gate Road, Monmouth Drive and Chester Rd. Let me know which direction you are coming from and I can point you in the right direction. :D

Hi,
We are newcomers to this site, Thanks to meeting a lovely couple in Sutton Park who told us about it. We would be very interested in meeting up for a Cocker Walk. Are there any plans finalised? We have a gold cocker spaniel named Amber. Shes 15 months old. It would be very good for her to socialise with other dogs. Are there any other cocker spaniel owners whose dog collects stones? If we try to take them off her she swallows them! Would love to hear more about a midlands meet.
Karen, Louise and Amber

It was lovely to meet you in Sutton Park. :D I'm hoping the 16th will still go ahead. Is this date still O.K for everyone?
Andrea, Phil and Bleu.
-
Yep it's definately the 16th May - unfortunately we're not going to be able to make it this time though, even though we thought we were :(

Kelly would you like us to change it to the weekend after that? Just a thought as it seems a shame you can't make it.
-
Hi,
Looking forward to the meet. Have any of the details been finalised yet? Such as meeting place and time?
Many Thanks
Louise and Amber
-
Hi Kelly,
I really don't mint - if folks can make it the weeken after as well and don't mind delaying then it would be nice to meet you all! :)
But if mor people can make the 16th then don't change it just for me :)
-
Can other people make 23rd at Sutton park? I can and it would be nice for KellyP to come.

-
I can make the 23rd.
Andrea & Bleu
-
Yep we can make it for the 23rd as well. Do you know how many people are interested and what the turnout will be?
-
I know this is short notice now, but is the meet going ahead? We will be up Sutton Park today with Amber.
Thanks
-
Sorry I had forgotten all about this. Had the in-laws to stay this weekend so have been a bit pre-occupied! Maybe it can be arranged for another time.
