Because our scene is deeply linked with enviromental ideas and because we share the same values concerning our planet and our lives, come and chill out in Kingston for the 16th edition of the Kingston Green Fair in Canbury Gardens, Kingston Upon Thames, London.

I might make an appearance, but I wouldn't hold my breath expecting me to turn up. My record for turning up to these things after I've said i'd definitely be there hasn't exactly been the best.

But having said that I will talk to my friends see if I can persuade them to come up, if so then I'll be there. Hmmmm it's in kingston right? that's a right pain in the @r$e for me to get too. Well I guess we'll see what happens.

kingston is easy to get to from dorking. Take a train to wimbolden and then one to surbiton. There's buses from outside surbiton station that go well close to the fair (can't remember the numbers). The whole journey will be under an hour. I've done it from guildford by train a couple of times now.

I'll debate about coming, got several exams next week so the correct answer is no way, but we'll see

there is a train from wimbledon to kingston, and it's easy to walk to the fair. If you're coming from further afield and want to go via waterloo, there's a train to kingston from there too.

UCOF, morden to kingston takes about half an hour. From Morden South station, go to wimbledon, then change for kingston. (platform 8, probably Shepperton service) That way you can meet up with people coming fron London, 'cos from waterloo u go via wimbledon.

Good luck to folks driving. Kingston one way system is evil. I narrowly escaped driving around Kingston forever with my friend when I first moved to Tooting, and have been reluctant to go back since.

Should see you folks on Mon.

It in my plan to make it :-)
Supposed to be working Saturday and Sunday, but have just blagged Sunday off :-))

Now that just leave me to find a party on Satuday night... shouldn't be hard, only have 2 requirements : 1) Somewhere to spin fire. 2) Dirty acid techno :-D

Kat, I've driven through Kingston before with someone who lives there, and that didn't stop us getting stuck in the one-way nightmare! will probably be abandoning the car before we get involved with it this time...

See you all in Kingston on Sunday, hopefully with some of the Northampton Circ'Citron in tow

Wooooop!

or you jump the fence round by the childrens playground

what does £3 concessions mean? Does it mean i can blag 2 quid off for being a student?

a fiver a ticket is a bit steep imho, considering there's plenty of green fairs that are voluntary donations only and manage to stay afloat (ie Ambient Green Picnic)
