Yes, why not extend it to cover the whole weekend - but I wouldnt want it to clash with the Notting Hill Carnival as I wouldnt be able to attend both.
I expect next year to be double the size - so we should start planning for major road closures now! I'm sure Michael will support this idea as he understands the benefits this will bring to our high street. Non-Carnival traffic can easily be re directed around the back streets of Forest Hill and Sydenham - the triangle could be used for parking - the procession could start from the park and go down London Road and up to Kirkdale. We might even be able to incorporate Louisa House in some way. This is clearly a massive South London event that we should exploit to the full. I would also be in favour of charging a ?10 fee for entry to the park - perhaps a known band could play? or a compulsory but smaller charitable donation (say ?5).
I would also advocate doing something similar another weekend - How about a bikers festival with metal or indie music, Napalm Death in the Park!!! Hornimans Rocks.
It could be huge, bikes, birds, booze. Forest Hill is on the map - Yey!!
