Please note the slightly later starting time to allow for travelling, and thank you to Mandy M for coming up with this.
We're meeting at the entrance to platform 1 of Paddington mainline station at 11.30am, and heading off to the IWA Canal Cavalcade event for as long as we choose to be there for. Please don't forget that Paddington is on the Elizabeth Line too.
The cavalcade will be in Little Venice, which you will see more of than the walk-by we did on the last trip down that stretch of canal.
When we're done, we'll have a shortish walk down the canal, then through Regents Park for some more stuff that we didn't see last time, and on to the (optional) food and/or drinks awaiting us at the Baker St Wetherspoon. The stated end-time includes the pub, where I expect to arrive mid to late afternoon.

I ask for a nominal contribution of £2 to help cover Meetup organiser fees. However, this is only payable on your first event in any calendar month. No shrapnel please.
