Onket · Mar 30, 2008

It's in the diary. See if I can make it for the first time.

Early!? I've already been organising people to go for a few weeks! :cool:

(I'm looking forward to it lots) :oops:

editor · Mar 30, 2008

I'm tempted!

Guineveretoo · Mar 30, 2008

I will be there, if the weather is good

Having said that, some of the best fairs have been when it has been lousy weather, but that was when I lived in Cambridge and could go home regularly to dry out and warm up! I don't think I will do that anymore!

Who's going?

Isn't it starting with a parade through the town centre this year?

Is it really ending at 8 this year?

In previous years, the stalls have been opened from late morning, with the parade starting at lunchtime and getting to the common about an hour later, when the music kicks off, and it has gone on until about 10pm, with some of the stalls closing later than that....

Guineveretoo · Mar 30, 2008

Gosh, it claims to be "the country's oldest free festival"!

I wonder if that is true...

perplexis · Mar 30, 2008

8pm close is a shame, but they've been getting more and more fussy about "trouble" over the last few years and are keen to crack down on it

Still, I should be there... First one in 4 years for me cos I've been away for the last few. Exciting!

Onket · Mar 30, 2008

The main thing that annoys me about free events in London is the early finish. Shame to see this going the same way.

I went to Unity Day in Hyde Park, Leeds a couple of years back & that was allowed to go on til about midnight. That's the way to do it.

psycherelic · Mar 30, 2008

Bah humbug, gugtting to hear about the 8pm finish

moonsi til · Mar 30, 2008

I maybe be going but I think it will be a struggle to get the weekend off work. I went for the scorcher in 2006 and had a wonderful time.

i might give the stewards your photo and tell them you're a really dodgy and dangerous London bloke who mustn't under any circs, get on to the park. they're so para these days, they'll fall for it. :cool:

that'll be a larf won't it.

8pm?? the earliest it's ever been before is 10pm.

8 fuckin pm.

heh

i'll know you by your 'festie frock' :cool:

Onket · Mar 30, 2008

I have no plans to ever again be as completely sodden in drugs and alcohol as I was that weekend.

JTG · Mar 30, 2008

I've never been to this, is it any good do you know?

aqua · Mar 30, 2008

I've been twice and although enjoyed it, won't be bothering this year

boohoo · Mar 30, 2008

I really really intend to go this year.... as I've never been... shame on me...

can i bagsy you floor early then? me and two other trouble makers

Cloo · Apr 7, 2008

Hmm, five days before I'm due to give birth via a cesearian section. If I were somehow feeling very perky (or someone will push me about in a wheelbarrow), I'd be there

El Sueno · Apr 7, 2008

Really enjoyed it last year, although having to leave to get the last train back to London was a bit of a bummer. Might try and sort out lodgings this time.

Buddy Bradley · Apr 7, 2008

We might go, it's good for kids.

zenie · Apr 7, 2008

I'll be there, with the hound, please tell me there isn't a no dogs rule? :hmm:

No such rule exists, loads of people bring their hounds :cool:

Yay, I'll be there then, and camping

perplexis · Apr 7, 2008

Ran into one of the organisers whilst a bit tipsy the other night. I think I let him rope me into stewarding. I subsequently discovered that they want fancy dress on stewards :mad:

I want to help out but I don't want to have to dress up!

We will just have to make after-party...
There always is one, but it always gets busted before it even starts. Maybe this year the extra 2hrs planning time will play in our favour.

Guineveretoo · Apr 7, 2008

Is it definitely finishing at 8pm? I can't find anything to that effect on the website, and it is such a fundamental change to previous years, that I would have expected them to make a point of it....

bluestreak · Apr 7, 2008

i'll probably go again. i usually get REALLY smashed and sit in the same place all day and miss almost everything. I expect to do so again.
