COOLESTGATHER...ERR...V?Following on from t'other thread, do any coolest people fancy heading down to the Mela in Gunnersbury Park, Ealing, on Sunday 13th August?
To quote from the site linked to above:
| Quote: |
Pakistani rock stars, Bollywood inspired salsa dance, pyrotechnics and fountains plus six stages of the best live music, comedy and dance. This year’s London Mela has it all.

Although to be honest I just go to eat lots of tasty food. There is lots of tasty food.
It's free to get in too, which is nice.
Here is a photo of some food I had there two years ago:
Mmmmm.
Here is a photo of some food I had last year:
Here are some more photos from last year:

It pissed down last year, but this year it will be sunny. Oh yesh.
So, who's coming then?

I should add, there's not really much/anything in the way of booze there...but that doesn't mean we couldn't decamp to a suitable hostelry afterwards.

I'll have to get a coach from Victoria at 7.30 on the sunday, cos I'm working at 12 the next day and I don't want to rush. So hopefully I'll catch a fair bit of the Mela before I have to head off. This sound okay?

Ah - you're going on a live night. Some long queues there sometimes, bit of a maze inside. You should have fun though.
Anytime Saturday's fine - I'll PM you my landline and mobby number so you can give me a rough idea once you've woken up after a long night out

this is for the 13th, innit?

Probably easiest by the main gate in, as I'm not sure if the layout inside the park will be the same as last year.
Or if I get a chance I'll do a recce nearer the time (I go right past Gunnersbury Park on my way to work)
I'll pm my mobile number to attendees nearer the time.
Off to The Big Chill tomorrow, !

It's only just north of the river - when the tide's high it splashes the windows
I think it has reopened but I'll double check over this weekend and see what 'improvements' they've made
All the usual mod cons - running water provided by the Thames. Friendly natives (take no notice of the noose - purely decorative )

The move went OK. Bloody knackered now though. The flat looks like that art installation at the Tate Modeern, the one with all the boxes.
