London New years eve

Are there any arrangements for meeting up and a start time? Although the market opens at 9:00 am, that is probably too early for most I expect. Especially as Southern, no doubt in common with other railway companies, despite running a Saturday service that day is not allowing off peak travel until after 9:30.

 

Regards

IMike,

 

I agree that 9.00 is a tad early because there are those who are coming from further afield. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that there may be moist stuff descending from above and it seems like a good idea to meet under cover so we can make a leisurely start to give any stragglers an even chance of catching us before we disappear untraceably into the catacombs of Borough Market.

 

I suggest that we meet for coffee at Cafe Rossi, which is just across Borough High Street from the market. It's a smallish cafe but they offer a passable breakfast in cases of emergency.

 

Does anyone have any objection to meeting in Cafe Rossi at 11.00 am - assuming that it'll be open - with a viewing to setting off by 11.30? (If it's not open, we can either stand around stamping our feet and muttering or choose a new cafe and leave a Da Vinci-style coded message on the wall by Cafe Rossi.)

 

Pete.

Looking back through the posts I did not actually make clear where it is we should assemble for the meet-up.

 

Farnz has come up with the suggestion of the Cafe Rossi at 11:00, which seems fine to me, so unless there are any objections that seems the best plan.

I might not make this as I have managed to hook up with an indie film crew as part of my Double-X project and am spending the next month or so with them learning how they shoot and light for Double-X.

 

I won't get the location and shoot schedule until Tuesday but will strive to get there as we shouldn't be too far away.

Sorry I couldn't get there but as I explained to Louis the weather had put the shoot on hold. We were only in Brixton - Electric Avenue - and a short hop to Borough Market but we waited and waited to see if the weather eased up!

 

The Director of Photography uses an M6 so we swapped for the day and passed the time! :D

Got home OK. Sorry to leave early but my back really was killing me.

Happy new year to you all

 

David, take a look in the people section: you will be amused (I hope). Hope the back clears up.

 

Andy, no problema: will you have some pictures to share at some point?

 

Proof that we were there (or at least Alan and Pete)

Time to come clean, Louis, you were obviously trying to snap the two attractive ladies behind us and we happened to get in the way! :D

 

As always it was a very pleasant day although the weather curtailed the photography but it was as ever rewarding to remake acquaintances and share a little post-Christmas spirit. Or two. Many thanks to Alan, Louis, Mike and David for trotting along but special thanks to Falstaff and Robert Parker for travelling so far to be there.

 

Pete.

I really have to apologise to everyone. For some stupid reason I thought the outing was tomorrow - New Year's Eve - and only discovered my mistake after people had started to post about today :(. And there was me in an earlier posting saying today was OK - sigh.

 

Maybe next time .....................

Louis - yes but not until the film is completed/released circa 2011. For obvious reasons I had to sign the equivalent of a non-dislosure agreement as part of my being attached to the crew.
