Following the incidents in London today, we want to
emphasise that the Beeblebears' Picnic on Saturday is
still on. The Meetings Organiser, Douglas Spencer,
writes the following:
For reasons connected with bloodymindedness and an
intention not to give the terrorists what they want,
I'm most reluctant to cancel the picnic at this stage.
If the police instruction not to make unnecessary
journeys is no longer in force by Saturday, I'd like
to see the picnic continue. |

Stop Press:
While the listing in MH for
the London Circle meetings specifies the Florence
Nightingale, please note that as that pub has been
scheduled for demolition, tomorrow's meeting
is due to be held in the Silver Cross.
Further details (including how to get there) and
developments can be found on Ansible.
Hopefully things will have settled down somewhat by
the time of the next MH. |
