Booking would primarily be online. 3.2 Study Day on Family History/Genealogy: CW had received an email from the U3A National Subject Adviser on Genealogy, saying that all Subject Advisers had recently been asked to offer presentations on their subject to regional networks. This could be for relevant group leaders or for a study day on the subject. The LRU3A Committee considers this a good opportunity, and Delegates also expressed enthusiasm, so the Committee would set things in motion. 3.3 Hampton and Kempton Waterworks Railway: Jo Walters had announced a new Shared Learning Project entitled: Building the Railway Archive.

Delegates Meeting 26.04.19 – Evaluation Report analysis Chris Bulford (CB) had analysed responses to the evaluation form completed at the Delegates Meeting in April. (Report disseminated with the Agenda of this meeting and available in the Delegates Meetings Archive on LRU3A website).

  • Ultimate Spectators Guide to the London Marathon
    ULTIMATE SPECTATORS GUIDE TO THE LONDON MARATHON We recommend you purchase a Travelcard to travel around London on the day as this will allow access to Rail, Tube and Bus at no extra charge. Zones 1-2 should be adequate for the travelling around the route, however if you need to go further afield, please check which zones you’ll be travelling in. Buses no longer accept cash payments. You’ll need to use a Travelcard, Oyster card or pay with a contactless debit/credit card. Please note that whilst we do have cheering stations at Tower Bridge (mile 12) and along the Victoria Embankment (mile 24) these will be manned by volunteers and we do not recommend you go to those points on race day. This is because these areas are extremely busy and it can take a long time to move through the crowds. By skipping Tower Bridge, you have more chance of seeing your runner at multiple points on the route, and by going straight to mile 25 from 19 you’ll cheer them on from the end! START AREA Although it’s advised not to accompany your runner to the start due to the high volumes of people, if you decide to see them off, please be aware that spectators will not be allowed into the assembly areas of the start. Once you’ve said your farewells and good lucks, head down the Avenue out of Greenwich Park. Once out of the park, turn left onto Nevada Street and keep walking as it turns into Burney Street.

  • 'Ungovernable'? Financialisation and the Governance Of
    Governing the ‘ungovernable’? Financialisation and the governance of transport infrastructure in the London ‘global city-region’ February 2018 Peter O’Briena* Andy Pikea and John Tomaneyb aCentre for Urban and Regional Development Studies (CURDS), Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK NE1 7RU. Email: peter.o’[email protected]; [email protected] bBartlett School of Planning, University College London, Bartlett School of Planning, University College London, 620 Central House, 14 Upper Woburn Place, London, UK WC1H 0NN. Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author 1 Abstract The governance of infrastructure funding and financing at the city-region scale is a critical aspect of the continued search for mechanisms to channel investment into the urban landscape. In the context of the global financial crisis, austerity and uneven growth, national, sub-national and local state actors are being compelled to adopt the increasingly speculative activities of urban entrepreneurialism to attract new capital, develop ‘innovative’ financial instruments and models, and establish new or reform existing institutional arrangements for urban infrastructure governance. Amidst concerns about the claimed ‘ungovernability’ of ‘global’ cities and city-regions, governing urban infrastructure funding and financing has become an acute issue. Infrastructure renewal and development are interpreted as integral to urban growth, especially to underpin the size and scale of large cities and their significant contributions within national economies. Yet, oovercoming fragmented local jurisdictions to improve the governance and economic, social and environmental development of major metropolitan areas remains a challenge. The complex, and sometimes conflicting and contested inter-relationships at stake raise important questions about the role of the state in wrestling with entrepreneurial and managerialist governance imperatives.

Diane will take over at the next AGM. Don’t forget to book your seat for the coach trip on Tuesday, 28th August. This time we are off to Canterbury. There will be an 8 mile walk ending back in the city or, if preferred, a one mile walk direct to the city centre. Pick-up points are shown in the programme. The cost is £12 pp. An Ode to the Back Marker When out walking how many people give a thought to that solitary person at the rear of the group. I refer, of course, to the back marker. As Shakespeare might have said, Tis awfully lonely at the back The group to follow on winding track Off go the leaders, the pace so fast Alright for them, there’re not last Page 1 Which way to go, what path to take One can’t see round corners, a decision to make Blowing on whistle that nobody hears Shouting out loud helps to calm ones fears A solitary life and that’s for sure Rounding up strays like a guide on tour Move to front and risk a glare Best stay behind - don’t take the dare To be serious, it can be a strain for the BM if people fail to keep up with the main group.

  • East London Line Post-Closure Notes
    EAST LONDON LINE POST-CLOSURE NOTES – 2 by John Thomason With contributions from Alan Blake, Simon English, Fred Ivey and Brian Hardy These notes continue on from those published in Underground News No.555 [March 2008]. The inappropriate “Continuing your journey from Shoreditch” poster displayed at Rotherhithe was replaced with the correct one on 26 January. An improved poster advising passengers how to travel to other ELL stations was first seen at Canada Water on the same day. Unfortunately there was an error (ELP instead of ELW) that had to be locally amended – I hope that it will be reprinted as some non-amended copies have been seen displayed. [The corrected poster was first seen on 12 February]. Details of Tower Hamlets‟ shopping bus to Surrey Quays are now posted outside Wapping station. During the night of 27/28 January the palisade fence [and explanatory poster board] erected in the Canada Water ticket hall paid area was removed. This fence had been use to block off access to the ELL northbound and was used as a compound to store building materials. These materials had been used to construct a segregated route connecting the escalators from the west end of the Jubilee platforms to those from the ticket hall to the northbound ELL. This route was bought into use in time for the evening peak on 28 January and will relieve the congestion that had built up at the east end Jubilee escalators most evening peaks. It was possible to note that all platform displays and signs along the route had been removed and replaced by exit/fire exit decals and Jubilee line route direction signs.
