Hi people, Jenny, Pink and I have got a draft of some info on the relay. I've been trawling all the threads to find examples of places of interest GB may get the chance to visit. I would be grateful if any members online could add their places to this thread so I can get on with the file. I've seen the Robin Hood Experience Exhibition mentioned, and the Mayor of Leeds. Thanks. Jen

Hello, He will be visting Letchworth Garden City the worlds first garden city, we also have the worlds first ever roundabout which Teddy will be playing on at some point in time. xxhugxx Lindy

Hi Jen I've offered to take GB for tea with her cousins Mr & Mrs Castle Bear & their children in The Penthouse at The Castle Hotel, Taunton. I'm on good terms with the presenters at BBC Somerset Sound local radio so am sure we can get good publicity there. Vivienne

i will take her to Lakeside shopping centre, then maybe to Southend xx

Would Gaynor bear like a look round Terry's of York ( with Del ) before it closes for good at the end of the year.Then she could have refreshments at Betty's tea rooms . She can have her photo taken outside York Minster and the other top visitors places in York .Will get back to you after I have made a few enquiries about a couple of ideas we have had Jan

Im taking her to Manchester City Football Club if Ive got her on Saturday 30th April or Saturday 14th May I will take her to the match with me Dave ps what a lucky Bear she is!

The possibility of handing Bear over at the Stratford Teddy Bear Museum was mentioned. Could even take her to the Shakespeare Theatre or Shakespeare's house. Jacky :-) I could visit the Bull Ring in Birmingham and get a picture of her sitting on the Bronze bull.

If she comes to Stoke she could go to the shopping centre and maybe to signal radio or BBC Radio Stoke Linda

She is indeed a lucky bear! This is great, keep 'em coming please. :-)))) Jen

noone wanted my help coz i live in the back of beyond! boo! but i offered to take it to germany on another thread.

May be able to take her to local BBC offices for some publicity which are in our new Millenium Library building called The Forum and also to the City Hall and Evening Newspaper office as I know folk there.

Liz, that's Norwich, right? :-)) Jen

HMS Warrior or Spinnaker Tower here in Portsmouth although we can't get up the tower yet!!! Karen

Thanks again. Carol - yes, that will be included. Don't knock your cows, I had a great time looking for them when I visited rellies in Stony Stratford! :-))) Jen

Jen Depending on when GB arrives, I'm hoping to take her out dancing with my ladies clog morris group, Taeppa's Tump. She can also have a trip to Boulter's Lock (a well-known spot on the River Thames). Helen

I am pretty certain the GB will be visiting Stonehenge on her travels with Group 13. ann Glos

How long will that take Tracy:))))))

Thanks again. I should say that only a few places will be mentioned in the main info, but this info will still be useful, I hope. xx Jen

If she's with me on 3rd or 4th June I could take her to the Oaks or the Derby race at Epsom races. Even if it's not around those dates I can still take her photo by the winning post or grandstand. Sue xx
