Thurs 5th Nov: Brockwell Park fireworks meet

[editor]

The annual urban trip to Brockwell Park for the fireworks will be taking place this Thursday.

Meet at Hootenanny from 7pm onwards. Who's in?

[brix]

Me, I think

[nipsla]

FFS I'm gonna miss it again cos I have to go to some ridiculous posho do in town

[gaijingirl]

Will miss the fireworks for the first time in years.... - but will get to the after-drinks in Hootenanny if they go ahead as usual.

What's the story on this folks, are Lambeth doing a bonfire/firework display in the park and Urbanites go along, maybe with their own fireworks?

I'm not great with commitment but, in theory, 7 at the BootaGranny sounds doable

[Badgers]

This sounds like our plan too.
Fireworks start at 7.30pm so might not make the pub before though.

Nope. You are not even allowed to bring along your own sparklers

[ajdown]

It's a Lambeth Council event.

srsly??

[vauxhallmum]

Yep, says so on the posters

[innit]

I'll be there with some friends (it's a friend's birthday) so hope to bump into the urban posse

[ajdown]

I'm not sure whether that's "health and safety grounds" that prevent you taking your own sparklers, or whether it's just so they can sell them to you at inflated prices.

[London_Calling]

FFS, what are they going to do to you, get Parky to chase you home?

Some weak and meek shit here

[christonabike]

They confiscate your beer on the way in

The wankers

[London_Calling]

Is there a dress code?

[clicker]

Yu have to be fire retardent.

[Onket]

Never been to the one in Brockwell Park before. Blackheath was good a few years back.

Is that true? Can't see any reference to that on the site...

They can't frisk people entering a park can they?

[porno thieving gypsy]

Its going to rain

[gaijingirl]

We've always brought booze in - mine is always mulled wine in a flask though so maybe that's why we got away with it.

[Dan U]

not being able to bring your own sparklers is mental.
poor kids being denied the chance to play with some sparklers at the fireworks like i am sure we all did as kids.

and booze, if that is true.

[Badgers]

Its going to rain

It will all blow over

Looking forward to explosions in the park tomorrow, thought that last year was really ace despite missing people I was supposed to meet.

[porno thieving gypsy]

Apparently its not anymore

[innit]

oh, now you're talking

someone gave me a bottle of buckfast as a (joke) present so we were going to take that... cos drinking buckfast in the park is funny, see? but now I'd rather take mulled wine

I've never had a problem with that. We were all supping from cans last year.

Just keep it in yer bag as you go in.
