First off - happy May Day everyone. I love the start of May - such a beautiful month (having a birthday in it helps ;-)).


Does anyone know if anything May Day-ish is happening in or around ED this weekend? I was thinking May Pole, Morris Dancers ('cept the guy with the pig's bladders and horse's head used to freak me out when I was a kid)?


I had a quick look in the What's on Section and couldn't find anything - any ideas?


Oh - it has to be suitable for a 4 month old baby, a nearly three year old whirling dirvish and a 'still a kid' 35 year old uncle - and me (who will be hitting the gin anyway!).


Thanks for your help xxxxx

Oh dear, that listing was from 2007

Though there is traditional mayday stuff in Rochester/Hastings and some stuff on at Dulwich Picture Gallery

Was up there today but thanks to the rain, I totally missed all of this and stayed camped out in the RFH.


Did see what looked like hundreds of nuns out running around Southwark bridge I think it was.....as some were definitely male, methinks if was some kind of fun run. But still a rather strange sight!!!

I missed it too 'cos of the rain ;-( But we had a totally fab time at the London Transport Museum (with my brother and I getting really competitive with the card-stamping orienteering thing).


We then went and watched some of the busking shows in Covent Garden - where a hapless and nameless 3 year old girl tried to join in and gave her own break dancing sideshow - completely stealin gthe thunder from the guy who was 'supposed' to be the centre of attention.


Sigghhh - happy days!

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
