Online Relax (not in Victoria Park) Picnic Happy Time

Update 05-Jul-2020: We will meet online on this occasion and postpone our first physical meeting during Covid-19 to another weekend, because, see, for example, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-53229371 (Leicester lockdown tightened as coronavirus cases rise).

Hi members,

We are going to Victoria Park this time (if the weather is nice). We are going to have a picnic together in the park and hopefully enjoy some sunshine too, and if we're lucky we might see some squirrels.

I have limited the event to 12 people, so if people wish to social distance, we can sit, talk or walk in 2 groups of six or 3 groups of four, etc.

Visit Leicester says:

"Victoria Park is a fine green space next to the University of Leicester campus.

The centrepiece of the park is the magnificent memorial arch, built to commemorate the dead of the First World War. The arch was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, as were the beautiful wrought iron gates at the parks Peace Walk and London Road entrances.

The area served as the city's race course until 1883; upon the racing find a new home at Leicester Racecourse in Oadby, the area was transformed and is now a peaceful retreat from the buzz of the city.

The park has areas of formal flowerbeds as well as winding pathways shaded by avenues of trees– perfect for finding some shade and enjoying a picnic or a good book on a summer’s day."
