British Mensa Annual Gathering Doubletree Hotel London - Docklands Riverside 265 Rotherhithe St, London British Mensa Annual Gathering DoubleTree Hotel London - Docklands Riverside 265 Rotherhithe St, London. SE16 5HW This booking form is primarily concerned with those events which need to be pre-booked because they constitute an expense or there are a limited number of places available. Some additional unlimited and free events will be available across the weekend and these can be discovered on the BMAG2016 website. Along with the traditional SIGs display and games room, in recent years a trend towards making and crafting on Sunday afternoon has developed. This year there will be a dedicated space for this on Sunday afternoon. Please note: Times listed for events are for leaving the hotel and approximate return to the hotel. A list of meeting times at venues will be available ahead of the weekend. All travel to events is on foot or by public transport. We recommend purchasing an Oyster Card or using a contactless bank card for travel to avoid ticket queues. See bmag2016.london or contact organisers for more information For events listed as “no age restriction”, under 16s must still be accompanied by an adult TO RESERVE YOUR HOTEL ACCOMMODATION Please book directly with the Doubletree Dockland Riverside hotel via the special link on www.mensa.org.uk website (go to the BMAG pages in the events section) DoubleTree Hotel London - Docklands Riverside 265 Rotherhithe St, London.

YHA London Thameside, http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/london-thameside Rotherhithe Street. Rotherhithe, London, SE16 5PR The YHA Thameside is a 320 bed purpose built hostel located 10-15mins walk from the main hotel. Please note that this list is provided solely as an indication of the variety of sources of alternative accommodation available in London. London Mensa, British Mensa and the individuals involved do not provide any warranty as to the suitability or the quality of any information or accommodation supplied by the listed organisations. Things to note when planning your AG weekend Event times As noted above, all the times listed are when the groups will leave the hotel. You may want to travel directly from one event to another. If so, please email [email protected] to double check what is practical. Some events take place close together such as those at the Olympic Park and Greenwich, the individual events have been arranged so that it is possible to go from one to another in the same general location. See the schedule on page 4. Greenwich trip on Sunday On Sunday in place of a traditional coach trip we are offering a series of interlinked events in Greenwich. The events are individually selectable and the times shown on page 6 are from the hotel, however Greenwich is not a large town so you may find it advantageous to remain in Greenwich between events rather than returning to the hotel. Events with direct links are shown on the schedule on page 4 though you may wish to take additional free time in Greenwich between events. There are two options to get to Greenwich either public transport or a guided walk from the hotel, and similarly there are two options to return, public transport or a guided cycle tour using the Santander Cycle hire. Please note that the guided travel options clash with some of the events. Travel Past experience of London AGs has taught us that travel by public transport is easier and quicker than booking coaches that get stuck in traffic. We will start many events by crossing the river on the hotel ferry so it is important you are ready to leave on time. Travel on London Transport is best using a pre-paid Oyster Card or a contactless debit card so that you just touch in an out of barriers. Please note we are calculating travel time on this basis and not including time for ticket queues. Please see bmag2016.london for more information and links to the Oyster Card website. Annual Gathering T-shirt th In addition, Oyster card wallets with Mensa and T-shirts will be available featuring the purple 70 th Anniversary Annual Gathering logo on a white tee 70 Anniversary AG logos are available at £1.50. in a range of sizes in both men’s and women’s styles at £10.

  • Prices Street Consultation Summary
    APPENDIX 4 PRICES STREET CONSULTATION SUMMARY The council is working with Better Bankside, the Kirkaldy Testing Museum and the developers of the Bankside Hilton to improve the environment in Prices Street following the completion of the construction of the new hotel. Consultation was carried out from 23 October to 28 November 2014, with proposals to landscape the highway and install planters, street trees, seating, and a special entrance treatment incorporating artwork for the grade II* listed Kirkaldy Testing Works. This note summarises the reasons for investing in the project, the method of consultation, a detailed response to comments made, and next steps for the project. Why invest in improvements at Prices Street? The proposal to make further improvements to Prices Street has arisen from several key opportunities: 1. The need to create new and improved open spaces to provide for the large numbers of new residents and workers moving into the area. By upgrading the public realm we are better able to provide for our communities and meet their expectations. Open space improvements will include street trees and planting will help contribute to improved air quality, sustainable urban drainage, and a high quality amenity and social space for the enjoyment of local residents, workers and visitors. The council has carried out extensive consultation on a programme of public realm improvement works across Bankside called the “Bankside Urban Forest”. One of the key project proposals to come out of the consultation process was to make further improvements to Great Suffolk Street as a key spine which links Bankside and the Elephant and Castle.

  • THE KIRKALDY TESTING MUSEUM a Perfectly Preserved Victorian Workshop That Changed the World
    THE KIRKALDY TESTING MUSEUM A perfectly preserved Victorian workshop that changed the world 99 Southwark Street, London SE1 0JF, UK www.testingmuseum.org.uk The Kirkaldy Testing Museum is one of the great, unsung museums of international importance operating in London today, offering a unique insight into Britain’s industrial and scientific past. Located in Southwark near major tourist attractions such as Tate Modern and Borough Market, this one‐of‐a‐kind museum hosts the preserved Victorian workshop of global engineering pioneer, David Kirkaldy, and the huge testing machine he invented that changed the world. The findings from the experiments carried out on the machine and in the still‐intact workshop changed the face of the world’s engineering and construction industries forever, as well as revolutionising air, rail and road transport. In the process, it saved untold numbers of lives. The hydraulic tensile testing machine – the first of its kind and the last remaining – formed the heart of Kirkaldy’s Testing and Experimenting Works where experiments took place on emerging industrial materials to determine their strength. Listed and still in perfect working order, the machine is housed in a beautiful and atmospheric Grade II listed building specially constructed in 1874 to accommodate it. Spread over two floors, the workshop is preserved in its original state and still features the office, and even the chair, where David Kirkaldy dreamed up his world‐changing inventions. An authentic, real‐life reminder of Britain’s Victorian industrial past, it evokes a feeling similar to that of the Sir John Soane Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields: that its founder has not left, he has just stepped out.
