I'm planning but as my rotas arent published until three weeks before, I wont know. I'd vote Sunday as that is supposed to be my day off but I'm not sure if I'm in that day (I've been doing overtime lately)

[Soup Dragon]

Sunday 22nd it is then!

[MylesHSG]

Cant attend as I swapped my Saturday 28th shift with a Sunday 22nd shift so I can attend the Worthing darts open.

When do we expect the starting station to be drawn?

[greatkingrat]

As it is the Tube Olympics, perhaps we should start at Stratford?

[Soup Dragon]

Yes Peter, that was also my thinking for this one.
However as a special rule as it is in Z3 we could allow departure on London Overground or DLR, in addition to Central & Jubilee Lines. It will be odd for an R15 that there are no planned closures apart from the W&C and the ELL

[The Raven]

Seems that the ELL only close before 08:00 and after 21:00

[tractakid]

I'll be giving this one a miss.

[Going Underground]

Yes that sounds fine by me

I may be able to put in an appearance for this one. It is the Jubeolympics after all, it would be rude not to. Especially seeing as the starting station is a direct train ride away from me. Although, the current 'attending' list looks a little on the short side...

[The Raven]

We could of also started at another "Olympic" station, Kensington (Olympia).

We could of also started at another "Olympic" station, Kensington (Olympia).

I was considering to include all tube stations which are deemed closest to Olympic venues, but this would leave only a few random stations, and there are a couple in zone 3/4, such as Wembley Park & Southfields. Think it best that we just stick to the Stratford start.

[Going Underground]

I would say just stick to Stratford as it probably takes too much of the "random" element out...

Meet up point afterwards. Horse & Groom?
