Subject: [wow] Wine on Wheels: Farewell Fabric Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:04:32 +0000 We apologise for the late arrival of this week's newsletter, which was caused by a bottle of Merlot. That is, the newsletter was caused by a bottle of Merlot. Its late arrival is just one of those things. == THIS WEEK == An LM writes: "While most of the LONDON FRIDAY NIGHT SKATE marshals are way too athletic to waste valuable training time idling away their hours in London's clubland, the same cannot always be said for the mobile sound system called Firebrox. So when Brox heard this Sunday is to be the last DTPM at Fabric, our beat bangin' bike was almost inconsolable. Luckily the promise of a skate to Farringdon's finest seems to have settled our maniacal musical machine. For those that don't give a fig for Fabric, the 10 mile route also includes some wicked wiggles through Victoria and Lambeth, and of course, the fabulous Pentonville Rise downhill" Such an aggressive attitude to artful alliteration (as above) can only mean one thing: it's Roggie's turn at the front again. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20071130 The SUNDAY STROLL is doing a nice little loop (with a few crossovers) through SW1, which we're told should be nice surfaces and lots of fun. Half time at Pimlico tube. http://www.lfns.co.uk/route.php/20071202 == LAST WEEK == WE ARE APPEALING FOR WITNESSES C A N Y O U H E L P U S ? S K A T I N G I N C I D E N T ON SUN 25th NOVEMBER AT ABOUT 2:30PM, 100 SKATERS WERE LED BY A USUAL SUSPECT ON A NINE MILE TRIP TO THE TOWER OF LONDON STARTING FROM HYDE PARK. In strictest confidence, please visit http://www.lfns.co.uk/feedback.php DID YOU SEE OR HEAR ANYTHING? PLEASE CONTACT US. working for a skater london == SERPENTICED ROAD == Reports are coming in that Serpentine Road is now Serpentine Rink: the biggest open-air ice rink in London (they say) has now been erected just down the road from where we usually meet to start the Sunday Stroll. There may still be space for us, but what with bungy domes, vehicle access, pedestrians and railings it may be that we get squeezed out from time to time over the next few weeks: so, if you should arrive for a skate and find we're not there, have a look over the road to the south, on the grassy bit near the Grand Entrance. http://www.hydeparkwinterwonderland.com/ Rumours are that they're upgrading the street lighting along Hyde Park as well, but if they go for the same "authentic" look as we got on the Broad Walk, it's probably too early to get excited just yet. == SANTA SKATE IS COMING TO TOWN == Only 2 weeks left until the Santa Skate, your annual opportunity to bring a touch of Christmas cheer to the West End by skating through it dressed as Santa Claus. It's a ticketed event - for the princely sum of ten pounds you get a Santa costume, entrance to the party afterwards, and a warm fuzzy feeling (it may help to hold the furry bit against your cheek). Monies raised go towards running the LondonSkate, and they're going to be throwing a bit the way of the LFNS too. The skate is on Saturday 15 December. Look out for Santa's little helpers selling tickets at half-time on Fridays and Sundays and do book early. If you're not going to be out on the skates between now and then but want a ticket, contact us through our feedback form and we'll put you in touch with someone. http://www.santaskate.co.uk/ == HURRY, ONLY SEVEN SKATING SKATING DAYS LEFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS == It stops on the 16th December: until then you have three London Friday Night Skates, three Sunday Strolls, and a Santa Skate. After that, not a skater will stir until 2008 - except perhaps for various less promptu skates run on a whim and a prayer. If you're confident on the road on unmarshalled skates, keep your ear to the ground to get dusty marks in your hair and funny looks from passers-by. So it remains only for us to thank Janet Kidd for the £185,000 in donations - and she was so surprised when we wrote to her, too - and we reach the end of this week's wheels. Stay real. The word on the street is "BUS STOP" http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&ll=51.506992,-0.115386&t=h&z=21&om=1 Material in this email is protected by copyright.
