 National
Family Week set to Unite the UK in a World Record First
Thousands of picnickers ready to come out in force to join the world
record-setting Family Week Picnic on Monday 25th May Get ready to pack
up your hamper, rug and relatives and join thousands of families across
the UK in the National Family Week attempt to set the Guinness World Record
for the Largest Picnic across multiple venues.
As part of National Family Week, families across the UK are being encouraged
to have a picnic on Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 2009 at 1pm and it seems
everyone wants a piece of the pie with picnics already confirmed across
the length and breadth of the UK! Log on to www.nationalfamilyweek.co.uk
to search for a picnic near you or why not get the whole family together
and host your own?
The first ever National Family Week is set to take place between 25-31
May 2009 (summer half term in England and Wales) with the aim being to
celebrate and promote good family life and help to create a more family-friendly
culture in the UK. Thousands of events and activities will be running
across the UK during the week to provide fun and exciting ways for families
to spend time together and the Family Week Picnic will take the lead on
Monday 25th May.
The Family Week Picnic rug will be laid down in villages, towns and cities
all across the UK with Barnstaple Lions Club, Luton Borough Council, Taunton
Town Centre, Leicestershire County Council, Sprowston Community High School,
Hampton Court Palace and West Berkshire Council being just a few of the
Family Week Picnic hosts.
National Family Week has also teamed up with The Royal Parks to run a
picnic extravaganza in the iconic Regent's Park, London. Anyone can join
in the record attempt, all you need is a rug or mat, food and drink including
a minimum of two courses per person (e.g. sandwiches and fruit or cake)
and of course don't forget your family and friends.
So make sure you check online to see what's happening in your area and
be sure to arrive with plenty of time to register before 1pm to make your
family count. To give picnickers a helping hand, some of National Family
Week's sponsors will be running picnic-orientated offers and promotions
including Sainsbury's who will be providing great deals on their picnic
products to guarantee a hamper jam-sandwiched full of delicious treats
for all the family. National Family Week has attracted an incredible amount
of support including from over a hundred national organisations, as well
as celebrities, sports stars and political leaders, making it the largest
coalition on family issues in the UK.
The Prime Minister, Ed Balls, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Boris Johnson
are all supporting the week and families across the country are being
invited to join in the action.
