[ql-users] London Quanta Group Workshop - 10th November 2002
Hi all, This is to inform you all that we can now go ahead and confirm the date for the London Quanta Workshop as being Sunday 10th November 2002. Thanks to the following traders for confirming their attendance : Tony Firschman Roy Wood Darren Branagh If anyone else wishes to attend then let me know. We will be at the venue to set up from 8.30am onwards. Hours for the public will be 10.00am to 4.00pm. Below is information about the venue to stimulate your interest together with information on travel and local features. The venue will be : Welsh Congregational Chapel, 90 Southwark Bridge Road, London SE1. The basement area will be used for the workshop. This is small and compact, with a raised stage area leading to a recently modernised kitchen. So it will be a 'cosy' meeting ! We will occupy the stage area with tables set out with second hand QL hardware, software, books, magazines, etc, as well as some PC stuff. This will give us easy access to the kitchen. The main area has plenty of tables and chairs available, ( no need to bring your own ), with a good layout to enable vistors access to the traders tables. Electrical points are in short supply, only being two double sockets on each side. So bring plenty of extension leads and muliti-way sockets. The area is relatively small, so you will not need to bring long trailing leads. The kitchen and toilets are located in the basement area. The Chapel is well worth a visit in itself as it is an historic piece of architectural design as well as a place of worship. It stands out on Southwark Bridge Road as a tall white faced building - late nineteenth century. The caretaker also won an award from Southwark recently for his display of plants and climbers, etc, that adorn the front of the Chapel. It brings a lot of 'colour' to the local area. Fortuneately the display was saved from being taken down by the local Council who recently completed making improvements to the pavement and road. Parking for cars is not straighforward, as there is no car park. Yet it should be fine if you follow this guidance. There is a small parking bay in front of the Chapel for 5 cars + bikes - although some may be occupied by other residents. Further around Southwark Bridge Road there is a free parking section for around 9 cars - although some may be occupied. ( Both of these spaces are ideal for traders to drop of their stuff ). Elsewhere, Southwark have introduced a 'Permit Holders Only' parking scheme in all the local streets. Some of these apply also on Sunday. So be careful ! Don't get clamped ! Nearby Great Guildford Street has Permit Holders only on Sundays - so avoid this. Yet a bit further off this street, in America Street and Wardens Place there are some spaces available at weekends. A lot better is to go along Southwark Bridge Road past the Fire Station to Redcross Way and Lant Street where there are spaces. Also Marshalsea Road leading to Southwark Bridge Road has spaces ( this is also the direct route from Borough Underground Station ). The area is very interesting for historical buildings - like the Fire Station - and small streets that surround it, etc. The Duchy Hall is also just around the corner. Also the Mint Street Park is across the road from the Chapel. There is a petrol station, just across the road from the venue, for a fill up, and it has a shop. There are some other local shops nearby, and plenty of pubs within walking distance of the venue. Although none of them have food on Sundays - Rose and Crown, Union Street, Goldsmiths Arms, Southwark Bridge Road. Rail - London Bridge from South East London and Kent. Also Thameslink. About 20 minutes walk to venue. Underground - Borough, London Bridge, Monument, also Docklands Light Railway link to Borough. About five minutes walk to venue from Borough. Buses - 43, 21 All in all it is well located for transport links. Look forward to seeing many of you ! -- Malcolm Cadman
