I'm planning but as my rotas arent published until three weeks before, I wont know. I'd vote Sunday as that is supposed to be my day off but I'm not sure if I'm in that day (I've been doing overtime lately)

Sunday 22nd it is then!

Cant attend as I swapped my Saturday 28th shift with a Sunday 22nd shift so I can attend the Worthing darts open.

When do we expect the starting station to be drawn?

As it is the Tube Olympics, perhaps we should start at Stratford?

Yes Peter, that was also my thinking for this one.
However as a special rule as it is in Z3 we could allow departure on London Overground or DLR, in addition to Central & Jubilee Lines. It will be odd for an R15 that there are no planned closures apart from the W&C and the ELL

Seems that the ELL only close before 08:00 and after 21:00

I'll be giving this one a miss.

Yes that sounds fine by me

I may be able to put in an appearance for this one. It is the Jubeolympics after all, it would be rude not to. Especially seeing as the starting station is a direct train ride away from me. Although, the current 'attending' list looks a little on the short side...

We could of also started at another "Olympic" station, Kensington (Olympia).

I was considering to include all tube stations which are deemed closest to Olympic venues, but this would leave only a few random stations, and there are a couple in zone 3/4, such as Wembley Park & Southfields. Think it best that we just stick to the Stratford start.

I would say just stick to Stratford as it probably takes too much of the "random" element out...

Meet up point afterwards. Horse & Groom?
