mums like fun too. don't be mum-ist:)

I know! My mum is proppa and like a hella lot of fun. I like to mooch about at Lambeth County show and get mildy wonked up with a can of stella and assorted other little things that aren't the best consumed in the presence of parents ;)

Too much on to get there on saturday but fingers crossed can make it sunday for Horace Andy at least.
 
Going to be lovely Sunday. :)

I'll be in at lunchtime from Amsterdam :cool: so it will be nice to chill my wrecked frame in the sun at the fair. :cool: :cool:
 
So anyone arranged to meet up yet? If there's no other plan....I see the music stage gets going at 2.30 on Saturday so I reckon I'll try and get there about then. I guess it will have a mixing desk so we could say something like gather to the right of the mixing desk (as you're facing the stage) at that time.

Just an idea. If people have other ideas, want to meet in a pub first or whatever, I'm not bothered - I just like the idea of some sort of convergence plan that will minimise the need for everyone to frantically try calling each other on overloaded mobile phone systems :)
 
Don't forget to meet up for the judging of the Alternative Vegetable Sculpture at 4pm by the Village Green!

Lemme start another thread on this!

am too scared

Of meeting folks from outside of SW8?? :p :D

:eek:

Erm, sorry to mention this, but the w**th*r for Saturday morning at least, doesn't look any too good. Also plenty of rain forecast for most of Friday, I really hope that one doesn't come off, cos a soggy park would not be lovely and would affect the preparations/set up.

Sunday seems likely to be nicer, at this stage anyway ... anything can change though :)

I aim to be at the Park by 2 on both days whatever ...

Well we'll all wear anoraks then innit :)
 
Paddick, Toynbee et al in CPCG's Your Shout! tent

If you're looking to rest your pins and take in (and contribute to) some serious debate, then head up the hill to CPCG's Your Shout! Tent.

Saturday has a cycle of locally made films showing (Bang Bang in da Manor, Pirates of Coldharbour, etc) as well as stalls from local groups, a Speaker's Corner, Video Box etc.

Sunday likewise, but with two good old fashioned formal debates. First up at 2:00 pm is "This tent blames the lack of discipline in the home for crime and anti-social behaviour amongst Young People” and at 4:00 pm "Drugs: This tent believes that Prohibition has failed and it’s time for Regulation”.

Contributers include Brian Paddick, Polly Toynbee, Cllr Steve Reed, Peter Herbert and Shane Collins and the good people of Lambeth.

Why did I give my rain poncho to my mum? :( I optimistically thought that it was summer...

Well, I'll be there whatever the weather. Whether I feel like pushing a buggy through the sludge is another matter...

This sounds brilliant! Should be a right old barney!
 
That CPCG thing does sound outstanding.


Okay, question from little people wot I may be bringing; 'Mega Minis' wazzat ?

Oh, and is the 'Impact Falconry Display' pants or might little people stay interested ?

fanka.
 
I was at the debate too with various friends.... it was interesting but it was nowhere near as lively a debate as I would have expected - a little disappointing tbh. Still a great idea though.
