Hi,

All things considered, let's go for the 11th December. A good point raised by Barrie, was should we meet early afternoon, to be on-site around sunset/golden hour for the opportunities this provides?

Lift 109 will be open but it is £19.20 to go up in the lift in the Chimney.

I am prebooked on the 11th, but I will have to see what happens regarding what I am going to do that day

[Fay]

I will be coming. Sounds a good idea to meet early afternoon. I will meet whoever goes from Orpington

Evening all.

Meet 1PM Outside Battersea power station station:


I advise you take the train to Waterloo and pick up the Northern line from there. If you travel on the northern line from London Bridge, change at Kennington for the Battersea branch.

New train timetable starts on Sunday. I can see 3 trains an hour from Orpington to Waterloo.

It gets dark around 3:30pm, so we can get some golden hour shots and then head home by around 5PM when it's cold and dark.

So far, I believe the following members are attending:
Barrie,
Chris S,
Fay
Ewen,
David Bacon,
Keith?
Mike?
Chris N?

Feel free to correct me.

I try not to leave photographers behind.

Sorry, but I am not going to be able to make it to Battersea on Sunday.

...and the reason is nothing to do with the World Cup.

[Bazza]

That’s what the other Chris said….
