an update on the march from the CVF -
Hello local Water Kin!
Thanks for booking your seat on the coach from Cambridge to the March for Clean Water next Sunday, November 3rd, from Trumpington P&R. The route is from Albert Embankment SE1 7HF to Parliament Square. Other info on socials and on website https://marchforcleanwater.org/
IMPORTANT: There are a few spare seats left on the coach; please suggest to friends and promote where you can. The coach driver will try to get us as close to the start as possible and pick us up at the end.
The coach will depart from Trumpington P&R at 8:30 (The sooner we leave, the more likely we will be to get a good drop-off point, so please arrive in good time) Mustering starts from 11 and sets off at 11:45, ending at 15:00. The form-up zone for anyone from Cambridge is H-I. Communication: A group chat on Signal for anyone joining from Cambridge, especially those on the coach. If you don't have Signal, march with someone who is...I'll also share some phone numbers when we are on the coach. Art works: We have two group artworks for you to take part in, should you wish.
Be a Chalk Dream Guardian! Silk banners made by Cambridge Curiosity & Imagination and Abbey ward school children. There are 23 in total. 12 guardians confirmed, there’s room for more, carried on light bamboo canes. They last visited Parliament Square as part of the Fantastical Forest https://cambridgecandi.org.uk/news/fantastical-forest-marches-westminster There’s a zoom training session on 30th Oct at 6pm. Please register your interest asap campaigns@watersencam.co.uk
Be a school of Fish! We’ve got some windsock fish that will look rather splendid, carried high on tassled bamboo canes, made by attendees of recent art workshops. There are other chalk stream beings too, dragonflies and a few eels. Please register your interest campaigns@watersencam.co.uk , or its first come first served. If there is anything else you're bringing that is oversized, please let me know. There will be a special place in Parliament Square for it to ensure it doesn't obstruct views.
Please wear blue. There is a BBC drone booked, and the shots would look brilliant if the march's path looked like a river flooding the streets of London.
Bring water from your favourite brook, river or stream to contribute to a vessel at the start of the march. We’ve got River Cam and Nine Wells (Vicars and Hobson’s Brook). Any Shep, Mel, Bourne, Rhee, Granta? Please give details in the Combined Water Form. Anything else? not that I can think of right now - one more reminder will be sent out before the event, containing the appropriate bits of this email and any other last-minute arrangements. #wearblue. #floodthestreets.
Many thanks. Clara Todd on behalf of Cam Valley Forum and Water Sensitive Cambridge
ps The Environment Secretary Steve Reed wrote an open letter to the organisations in the March for Clean Water coalition a few days ago, which you can read here. Many conservation and water-attached groups are writing responses. As a group, we are signing the letter from The Wildlife and Countryside Link but if you belong to a group you can too.
