Next meet up: Sunday, March 16
March 10th, 2008, by Lorissa
Date: Sunday, March 16
Time: 1:00pm, and then later between 3:30pm - 4:00pm
Place: Garfunkels on Northumberland Ave - it’s right near Trafalgar Square so a good spot to meet up and then venture from there.
This is the St Patrick’s Day celebrations. The parade starts at Hyde Park Corner at noon and winds its way to Trafalgar Square and up to Whitehall. It’s usually difficult to keep up with everyone during a parade, so feel free to follow it until Trafalgar Square and then we can meet up to watch the rest, and of course the performances at the square. We can venture to Covent Garden where there will be an Irish food market and Leicester Square for the Irish Culture Village.
The later meeting time allows us to get together with anyone typically late (me) or dealing with any traffic issues. We can continue to enjoy the Irish festivities until 6pm and in between, no doubt, hit a Starbucks - since that is what we always tend to do.

As I have a family visit this weekend, I won’t be able to make this meet. Last year’s was good though with some great weather and nice photo opportunities.
Also, on Saturday there is a big Stop The War demonstration in Whitehall to mark the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war (more info at stopwar.org.uk), which might be interesting to shoot for some of you.
