SAVE OUR PONDS PROTEST – SUNDAY 20 SEPTEMBER

On Sunday afternoon we will be joining Forum ‘71 and the Hampstead Men’s Pond Association (HMPA) to protest against the new enforced charging regime. This event, whilst following Covid- secure guidelines, will also be a social one with an opportunity to share ideas.

Please come and join us – wear a brightly coloured swimming cap if you have one, bring paper-chains two meters long and placards – the theme is ‘locked out’. This will be an inclusive, enjoyable, safe event that will hopefully have some impact.

The schedule is as follows:

2 – 3pm: Several groups of a maximum of six people each, led by members of HMPA, KLPA and Forum ’71, will share information on what has happened to date: –

  1. A presentation of the survey findings (you can read them here). 
  2. A talk about canvassing, HMPA history and future events.
  3. A presentation of the Forum ’71 manifesto.
  4. An explanation of the Forum ’71 approach.
  5. Media articles.
  6. A brief history of KLPA and the action over the past few months.

3 – 3.30pm: We will encircle the Pond, staying two metres away from each other and divided by ribbons or paper chains. We will then pose for the press photographer!

4pm: Disperse

We hope to see you there!
