Treasure hunt & picnic in London
Posted: Jan 30, 2009
I am arranging the first ever VT Treasure hunt which will give you an opportunity to discover London in a whole new way whilst being cost effective.

I have devised 3 separate areas of this great city to explore with plenty of photo opportunities! All this will cost you is the price of a travelcard, lunch in your teams & your picnic dinner and perhaps a bottle or 2 of vino which will be picked up by yourselves en-route to the park. I have a supply of paper plates, plastic goblets & a bottle opener Londoners please bring picnic blankets.

Here is the basic program

Friday night (an optional event for those wanting to join in - please sign separate meeting page 17/07/2009) will take place at Wimbledon dog stadium - greyhound racing is a very traditional London sport. Cheap entry and if you decide to try your hand at gambling the bets can be as little as 50p. Be there and watch those doggies chase that rabbit! http://www.lovethedogs.co.uk/wimbledon/theexperience.aspx

Saturday will be a treasure hunt involving teams of vt'ers let loose in London finding clues. The VT comittee have promised sponsered prizes for the winning team

The day will end with all attendees relaxing and socialising in London's fantastic Hyde park - at this time of year London is noted to have long balmy summer evenings so games (footie, rounders, board games perhaps), pedaloes / row boats etc can be organised. There will be plenty of places to pick your picnic up en route.

Do sign up to give me an indication of who is keen the more, the merrier (incl + 1's).
Please contact me if you need any ideas of accomodation I have a list of reasonable accomodation in university halls of residence during this time.

Meeting place for saturday will be Costa Coffee Shop, The Grand Building, inside Waterstones Book Shop, Opposite Trafalgar Square WC2N 5EJ, Cnr Northumberland Avenue at 10.30 for 10.45.http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=WC2N+5EJ&countryCode=GB#map=51.50774,-0.12615|16|4&bd=useful_information&loc=GB:51.50753:-0.12615:16|WC2N%205EJ|WC2N%205EJ

If you wish to join us later at the picnic in hyde park (approx 4pm) we will be on the green between the Serpentine boat house and the Educational Look out centre / Rangers Lodge.
