Poi in the Punt 4 - Saturday 2nd May 2009 - Cambridge UK

Right folks,

Less than 2 weeks to go so time for an update!

First piece of news is that I’ve actually managed to get a video done from last year. No fire footage unfortunately since the quality was too poor but I hope you like it anyway:

And don’t forget to check out Guys punting tutorial vid too:

Next, on to plans for the day.

We will be meeting on Saturday 2nd May at 11:15 at The Granta pub (https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=The+Granta+pub+cambridge&sll=52.160552,0.157095&sspn=0.255262,0.453186&ie=UTF8&ll=52.202399,0.113554&spn=0.006786,0.086002&z=14&iwloc=A).
They have a large outside decking area which we can invade and have a drink whilst we wait for the (inevitable) latecomers. Lunch isn’t a bad idea at this point too, unless you’re bringing food to eat on the punts, up to you!

We’ll leave the pub at 1:30 and go get us some punts and go for a little boat trip, probably for around 2 hours. Cost will be approximately £30 per punt, so for 6 people in a punt it works out at around a fiver.

We’ll spend the evening on a nearby grassy area by the river. There will be opportunities to buy food, drink and disposable barbeques to cook dinner on. There will be an opportunity for a burn at this stage.

Later on, or if its raining, we’ll go to the hall. There are some strict rules over use of the hall. Failure to observe these rules could have serious consequences to the future of the building, and our use of it, it is in a residential area so noise outside the hall must be kept to a minimum.

-no smoking in the hall at any time (even if its freezing/raining/a hurricane outside, sorry - they have fire alarms!)
-except for the main hall, no sleeping in the Howard Mallett building
-please make sure we have your name on an attendance register in case there's a fire
-no fire spinning in the grassy area outside the main hall, or the car park (there is a spot down the road where you can sate your pyromania if you haven't already, we will happily direct you there)
-Please, you MUST be quiet outside the building as we will be in the center of a residential area.

We will be making a small charge for staying in the hall, just to cover our costs. It is likely to be £3-4 depending on how many people turn up, we’ll keep it to an absolute minimum. I recommend that you bring a sleeping bag, and preferably something to sleep on as well, as the floor of the hall is very hard.

please call before turning up as we may still be outside playing

See you next week!

P.S. Link to last years vid will be added later when I've sorted out some problems I've had uploading it.
