A charity is challenging people to picnic in peculiar places toraise money.
Send a Cow, which is based in Newton St Loe, wants people to get together with work colleagues, friends and neighbours for the challenge to be held in September.
Organisers are hoping that groups will pick somewhere out of theordinary for picnics taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday,September 11 to 13.
In addition, they want families to share their food - reinforcingthe 'pass it on' ethos of the charity which helps families acrossAfrica by providing livestock, crop seeds and equipment and trainingto help whole communities lift themselves out of poverty.
The charity's head of marketing, Jane Pleace, said: "A Send a Cowpicnic is a fun new take on that great British tradition of sharingfood, time and fun.
"It's going to be interesting to see where people come up with -it might be the top of their local church tower, who knows?"
Already on the cards are a picnic with the Mayor and Mayoress of Bath in the Parlour at the Guildhall, picnicking while punting in a boat hired from Bathwick Boating Station and an event at Parliament with city MP Don Foster.
Less adventurous suggestions include Parade Gardens on theFriday and Saturday and Royal Victoria Park by the bandstand on theSunday.
Another venue hotly tipped is Alexandra Park, recently nominated as one of the best picnic venues in the country.
