2012-08-19 - Taggy Cat - Bicycle Tag of Bike Event @ LMNH

sounds sick. If you need some help with a poster or organising then holla.

v happy to lend a hand - and like the idea of shifting the centre of gravity westwards

Perhaps it will be third time's the charm for me and I will be able to attend :)

BUMP

Shinkuu Kiss and I were talking about this last night. Definitely up for it again. He mentioned LMNH has a new place on Southbank if the West idea doesn't work out.

On the southbank? As well as Mare st. Hackney. Empire building...

Not the hackney empire building

Want to do this having missed the last two year taggycat action.

Ummm ... kinda busy planning an event at the moment!

How would doing it in October/November sound? I'll be free to sort out after the end of September, so just need a few weeks to prep the maps and spoke cards, etc.

In the meantime you guys can choose a location - the following requirements needed:

• central or westerly
  
• location by the river adds dimension
  
• base camp must have WiFi, and be friendly to a gaggle of taggers and me consuming tea for an afternoon.
  
• players must have an iPad per team (or suitable phone) - going digital this time!
  
• spoke card designs needed
  

For a location that matches these bits:

I would suggest considering Royal Festival Hall at The Southbank Centre. It has free (AFAIK) WiFi, a bar/cafe, good bike parking, central riverside location, happy with large numbers of people wandering round inside/sitting about for meetings, power on the first floor internal balcony bits, and is a good place for those at basecamp to sit and people watch.

Is this thread still running? Looked like a cool idea from where it originally started as weekend ride for fixies.

LongAndWinding did such a grand job with this last time I suspect people were hoping for her to resume her organising role, with or without baby on board :)

All this, except a location that might be better suited for me - maybe Southwark by the river? All hinges on location, then I can create the maps. Maybe August?.

Southwark would be good for some interesting/historical/nautical tags. Not that I'm biased. ;)

If you and Aroogah want to take part, I'd happily look after B for you :)

Aroogah prob won't be too bothered about taking part, just need to check diaries so he can babysit for the afternoon. I wouldn 't mind taking part myself though, can still run the game as well though :)

Any thoughts for a suitable location? Need somewhere with free wifi - any cafes with outdoor space by the river?

spoke with @kt_bee about how great this was today. One day we will have to do it again, maybe in south london?

Have spoken with @Elra about this a few times and he's up for potentially organising something along this line.
