The London River trip

[CliveG]

Some while ago I suggested that as a follow on from Oostend we storm the London River.

I have a provisional booking for up to 10 boats at Limehouse Basin arriving on the afternoon tide on Tuesday 1st June and staying for 2 or 3 nights.

The following had expressed an interest
1. Sirenia (CliveG)
2. Full Circle
3. Wild Otter (Jomo)?
4. Kioni
5. Sea Mist II
6. White Magic (Slow Boat)?
7. Morgana
8. Mr T (CPD)

I know that Morgana and CPD jumped the gun and went last week.
They are not coming on this trip.
I also know the FullCircle is a definite for the trip.
Please could the others and anyone else intrested please indicate so in this post.
I think that we should confirm the booking in early May.

Some of us are heading for the Globe Thearter to see Hamlet during the stay.
Should be interesting.

I am tempted but I have just been told they want me back abroad in early June so I'll have to be a 'maybe' for now.

 

[FullCircle]

Yep, we are in.

And its Macbeth at £29 quid a ticket.
Not many left, and I will be booking shortly.

 

[Jomo]

finally had leave confirmed, so Wild Otter is in. Couple of tickets for the theatre sounds good if we're not too late, thanks Jim

Joscelyn and I will be onboard 'Arendala' in Limehouse at that time, and would love to meet up....though we're working both days, so will have to be on reasonably good behaviour.

No need to reserve a space for us...Limehouse is home when we're in London.

Sadly the Kioni-ites will have to withdraw as Kioni will be in the hands of her new owners by the end of April and Saguday won't be here in time for the event. We were all looking forward to it too but hopefully we'll be able to get involved in later events.

Keep your eyes peeled !

For the big yellow sign on the side of an industrial unit somewhere on the Isle of Dogs which says:-

If you enter these premises outside working hours.
Can you please remove your dentures.
As our dogs have trouble digesting them !

We noticed it whilst going up the Thames last year and it gave us a grin

 

[CliveG]

O.K. folks.
That seems to be 3 confirmed and 1 maybe.
I really should confirm numbers to Limehouse this week.
Is there anyone else who would to join this merry band?

 

[Marmalade]

In St Kats as we speak - been out with the camera...

 

[PaulGooch]

Great pic, looking forward to our planned trip at the end of the month. Unfortunately can't make the 1st June trip due to work commitments.

 

[CliveG]

O.K.

Last call for bookings.
I will confirm numbers on Monday.

Shakespeare/Globe in difficulty at moment, will try and confirm tonight.
Alright, its a screw up. Not enough tickets left.

Any other suggestions?

 

[Jomo]

Yep, we're up for a stroll about with murder and mayhem included!

Oh,and how about something like this: http://www.thecomedytheatre.co.uk/ ?

At Limehouse they dish out a really useful local map, on which is marked a Chinese restaurant called the Tai-Pan, on Commercial Road about 5 mins walk from the marina. We ate in there last week, I'd recommend it.

Felicity Kendal or Joanna Lumley? Hmm. Can't decide.

Great plan though.

Thanks Dick. If its rubbish, we will lay siege to Herne Bay on the way home.
