June 2014 First Sunday: transformation

First Sunday Ahoy!

After last months rather discombobulating encounters i've got something a bit special planned for this month, an algorithmic dérive directed by a brand new game featuring peices made from cars. As we wander we'll celebrate the power of pedestrianism and our right to play on the streets....

We'll be gathering in the cafe at Manchester City Art Gallery Mosley Street, 2pm this Sunday 1st June. Everyone is welcome, if you are new just look for the pink hair and tiara. We'll set out for our wander by 2.15 so please try and be prompt, the nature of the game means I can't be sure where we will end up

Love

more adwick greenery

I'm organising another Ardwick Green histories tour on May 20th due to the overwhelming popularity of previous expeditions, its not especially psychogeographical but it does explore a fascinating area which is often overlooked. It's free but places need to be booked here: http://www.gmcvo.org.uk/ardwick-green-histories-tour

April 2014 First Sunday

First Sunday This Sunday! It's April and Spring has Sprung so it's time for some random shennanigans, it's going to be a chance based wander, more of a game than the tours I ran for the Histories festival so please be prepared to make your own map. We'll be exploring imaginary cities and indulging in a wee bit of time travel so please bring an open mind. This months meeting point has been chosen by Julie Campbell as an interesting space. Everyone is welcome to join us, 2pm this Sunday at Vivid Lounge 149a Great Ancoats Street. We'll set off by 2.15 and hope to discover wonderful things....

Also a couple of other things

1) I'm really sorry but tomorrows extra bonus loiter has had to be postponed, massive apologies

3) THANK YOU so very much to everyone who wrote to defend the right to roam the beautiful Library Walk. We are now awaiting official confirmation of the inquiry and we need to keep a bit of powder dry - but suffice to say we know that over 70 letters were sent which far exceeds the informal trigger point according to our legal experts. So watch this space for more details and thank you all again xx
