Join the "All Meetups Picnic" sponsored by the Pittsburgh Meetup Organizer Meetup Group. This event will bring together Meetup members from a wide variety of groups for a fall picnic. It will be a nice chance for us to have our own picnic while participating in a larger event.

I'm heading up the Planning Committee and I've secured one of the nicer groves at North Park.

This grove is great because:

• Willows is located near the intersection of Babcock Blvd and Ingomar Rd / Wildwood Rd
• If you are familiar with North Park (if not, use yahoo maps), it is near the 7/11 Exxon Station at 1350 Wildwood Road, Gibsonia PA 15044
• The shelter has electricity for your crock pots and boom boxes
• The shelter has tables for us to play Board Games
• Near a playground making this a kid friendly event
• Near a very large, level grassy field ideal for “park games” (Bocce, Badminton, Volleyball, Croquet, ring toss, water balloon toss . . .
• Near a hiking Trail
• Near the lake’s paved trail for walking, biking, rollerblading, etc

There is a small $1.00 fee per adult to help cover the cost of the permits.

Bring your picnic baskets, coolers (alcohol allowed), blankets and/or lawn chairs, park games, board games, and anything to help make this event a success.

Some important points regarding events at North Park:
• No glass containers
• No weapons
• No distribution of literature
• Have a good time!

Directions can be found by visiting the Buffalo Wild Wings website and they have a link to a map and directions button. Buffalo Wild Wings is at the corner of Route 8 and Grandview Crossing Drive by Target. Also, just to let you know, the management wanted to remind us that we will have a server and to be mindful of tips and ordering food. They also do not allow playing card games (i.e. poker, rummy and such with a traditional 52 card deck) or gambling as it is not allowed with their liquor license. Board games are fine.

Always welcome suggestions for planning the next game playing date(s) and location as we wrap things up at this meeting.

I previously sent an email about this event .....

I copied and pasted this from their website:

"Game Days are from noon until midnight (usually) on the second Saturday of each month (August will be an exception). Bring your favorite game or just show up and join the action. Games Day is free and open to the public and new gamers are always welcome. "

There will also be a game silent auction. This is your opportunity to pick up games at a great price and help to support this organization.

Go to the following link for directions and more information about this game group.

There is a "Top 10" list and also a "completist" list of the games their hundreds of attendees have played during their past several events.

Previous attendees have mentioned the game room was NOT air conditioned -- so dress to be comfortable -- maybe even bring a fan along with enough snacks to share througout your play stay and cash to chip in on pizza at dinnertime.

Let me know if I posted TMI or not enough!
