And what are we doing to welcome the torch in Beckenham?  I am really keen to organise something and am trying to rally local friends to come and cheer it on followed by a picnic in the park. Anyone want to join us?

10 am is a better time - I'd heard rumours of morning rush hour - that would have been fun!

I shall certainly go and wave if it's a person running...especially if it happens to be Floella Benjamin...

There is a planned event outside Beckenham Baptist Church from 8:30am on the 23rd. We'll be providing bacon sarnies and tea and coffee, as well as shelter to stand under if this glorious weather continues...

Everyone is welcome to come and join us (opposite The Spa).

One of our members is a TfL Travel Ambassador and he'll be there to offer advice of Games Time Travel on Public Transport.

Hello, I hope to provide a little ray of sunshine with news of an event that will take place that for the olympic torch relay through Beckenham.

 After being asked by the Beckenham Business Association, I can confirm that Beckenham Junior Choir will perform a concert to welcome the torch and carriers.

The children will be singing principally songs celebrating London ( songs of Lodnon town), they will be based around the Beckenham War memorial and start singing around 9.30, depending on the torch travel itself ( time is still  approximate, I should be able to confirm around the 18 of July).

I hope this please those who were looking  to organise something  to welcome the torch, we look forward to make this occasion even more special.

 

Silvia

 PS: please feel free to spread the news amongst friends

The flags and bunting are finally going up for Monday's Olympic Torch run relay which passes through the town centre - here's the road by road by time list too of the route and when to wave :-)
