2006 Hanami in Hyde park

Saturday, 22nd April 2006, 1PM
Annual Hanami Picnic at Hyde park.
The Japanese Conversation Group Picnic is set for Saturday, and the weather forecast good. Auntie (aka the BBC) predict highs of 17 degrees, with mostly sun and some cloud. We hope you will all still be able to make it, meeting as ever at 1.00pm just by the Cherry Trees to the east side of the Albert Memorial (for those who are 'directionally challenged', this is to the right of the memorial when viewed from the Albert Hall). Please bring food, drink, cups, cutlery, plastic sheets, blankets, Frisbees, balls and whatever else you think we might need. Friends (non-Japanese speaking or otherwise) are welcome.

If the weather does take an unexpected turn for the worst we will be decamping to the nearby Queens Arms at 30 Queen's Gate Mews. This is off Queen's Gate Terrace, which branches off Queen's Gate about a third of the way from Kensington Gore to Cromwell Road. You might also find us in the Queens Arms later for a few evening drinks.

Place: Hyde Park. The Cherry trees are a stone's throw from the North East corner of Albert Memorial.
