So we have Kimpton this weekend. Display spots will be turn and turn about with Tappalachian (you'll be using their board to dance on). Spots are 1500-1530 at the Boot and 1615-1700 at the Green - see attached map. You are all entitled to afternoon tickets which get you into the two afternoon concerts in the hall and the afternoon concert in the church. If you need a contact point, Bill Redway is the organiser and has provided his mobile number, should it be needed: 07768 514109

The current plan is to get to Luton for 2, so at the Boot by about quarter past which should give time to have a warm up dance inside before the first spot if that works. Fliss has the swords and I think we sorted out enough petticoats on Monday (I've forgotten who took one for you Hannorah, but we should be good!).

Transport-wise, to be honest, I think this is slightly easier if either someone going or all of you do a bit of coordinating between yourselves. So far lift options are Luton and Stevenage, there isn't a bus form Luton to Kimpton, so it doesn't really work for people to get a bus to the festival and train home. The most sensible bus option to Kimpton is to go via Hitchin or possibly Stevenage, and whilst there is a bus at 1736 this involves to changes and goes via Watford, so the ticketing is a bit of a pain. Overall, lifts sound much simpler. Hannorah / Clare, is Luton or Luton Airport Parkway easier? 

There are 9 of you going. Ffion and Patrick will be coming from Wales, so probably best not to rely on them for lifts to Kimpton. So for the remaining 7 people: Clare can pick 2 up from Luton and Hannorah can take 3 or at a push 4, so that's most of you sorted. Rachel can take one plus HTD from Stevenage. So I think between those three that is everyone well covered. To get to Luton for 2, I suggest taking the 1320 from St Pancras (other Thameslink stations available) - return is £7.15 with railcard. Trains are about every 15 mins, so you'll all be fine getting home.

The organiser could organise transport from Harpenden / reimburse some taxis if we need - though if we need this we need to arrange asap, if this is the case please let me know so we can get this sorted.

Thanks,

Hannah
