We’re going to be pushing off on the morning of Tuesday 4
September from the fantastic Lambeth
Palace on the south bank of the Thames, just west of Waterloo. Have a good old
squiz for yourselves here:
A little bit of background to the behind-the-scenes
wrangling on this one. Because of everything going on in central London this
summer, it’s been nigh-on impossible to get permission to gather as a group
anywhere of real prominence. Unfortunately, that ruled out our first choice of
Trafalgar Square – and pretty much any of the Royal Parks.
Thank the lord, then (or more specifically in this case, the
Archbishop of Canterbury) for the lovely Malcolm at Lambeth Palace for stepping
up to the plate… It’s a great place to kick things off, too, right on the river
and slap-bang on our route out of the Smoke, with the added boon that we’re
going to be avoiding almost all of the central London traffic snarl up and be
on our way out towards Richmond Park before you can say “Yes! We’re off to
bleeding Bestival!”
More details to follow, but for those of you starting to
plan your journey, we’re going to need everyone to arrive between 9.30am and
10.15am, to load up the vans with kit and get ready for the off just before
11am. We’re very aware that this could potentially be a tricky time in terms of
people arriving in London weighed down with bikes, tents, rucksacks etc… We’re
currently thinking of ways to try and make this easier for you. So keep ‘em
peeled…
In the meantime, check out our Facebook page for details of
the next social on Sunday 12 August, from 2-6, at the Royal George pub just off
Charing Cross Road. Get yourselves down there friends!
