People are tending not to respond the thread but just turn up. The start of the drinks proper will be 8ish onwards, but people can gather earlier if they wish to do so as its a Saturday, it might be sunny and the Herne has a nice garden.

Err no it's not.


Anyway yes the drinks are a week on Saturday. I have asked the Herne to reserve the conservatory (incase it's raining) but they won't keep it reserved all day as they get very busy, and we can't say how many forumites will turn up. So it will probably be reserved from 7pm but I will let you know. During the day we will have to find space, hopefully outside.

As someone who's never been to one of these things before, how do you all know who the other people are? Do you wear badges with your usernames on? Or do you just go up to random strangers in the pub and announce, "I'm PinkyB, who are you?" I can imagine if you picked the wrong person that might not go down too well.


Oh, and I really wish it wasn't the Herne Tavern. Most expensive pub food in the world and no cider on tap, so a hugely expensive evening out for me. ?4.50 for one of those stupid massive bottles of organic cider, which is my only option apart from soft drinks as a non- beer drinker. ?4.50! They're having a laugh, aren't they?

Have confirmed with Jaws we will be attending the day part so will probably get there between 2 - 3.. x


PinkyB - it is a bit hard on your first one, I just had to walk up to a random group of strangers as there are no badges or anything, depending on what time you are going to be there you might be able to get a number off someone (I wont be there for the night time bit).

      Interesting, because I am finding it next to impossible to get an appointment at Tessa Jowell.

      Yes, I live Colyton/Dovedale area and lots of swifts usually.  I'd love a swift nesting box too.

      There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.

      I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...
