Does anyone have an itinery of this event on the Thames on Friday 15th

No, details are sparse, although I do know that my pals at Limehouse Marina are planning to get their boats out there. Sadly, I can't make it as I'm committed to a whole week of maintenance in Suffolk, but I'll give them a call and see if I can find out if they know any more. Will post as soon as I know.
