Saturday May 8th, 2010 is slowly creeping towards us and it is looking like it will be an exciting day full of conversations, education and hopefully sunshine.

Here at PodCamp Headquarters we are continually trying to find ways to extend the PodCamp experience to allow for attendees to network and interact with one another in multiple settings.  First we brought you the PodCamp London Party and now we have yet another event for you.

PodCamp London has decided to team up with the London Photo Walk to organize a photo walk for Sunday May 9th, 2009. Being held at the University of Western Ontario, the Sunday morning photo walk is just a stone throw away from the site of PodCamp London, the Convergence Centre. This convenient location should allow for anyone coming in from out of town and staying the night an easy opportunity to participate on Sunday.

The London Photo Walk is an opportunity for photographers and non-photographers, Londoners and non-Londoners to get together for a couple of hours to walk, talk an explore parts of London, Ontario, this time at the University of Western Ontario.  We encourage anyone and everyone to come out to participate in this walk. Event if you don’t have a camera you can still come out, let one of us know and we will find you a camera to use.

The details of the PodCamp London Photo Walk are as follows:

Date: Sunday, May 9th, 2010

Time: 10:30am – 12:30pm

Location: University of Western Ontario

Starting Location: The Concrete Beach (See Map)

Route: Marked in BLUE on the map

Ending Location: Because it is the summer and we are not sure if any of the on-campus eateries will be open, we will determine an ending location closer to the date. (hopefully one of the on-campus pubs will be open)

Parking: For those staying at Windemere Manor you can just leave your cars there and walk over to main campus. For those of you driving you will have to find parking. Typically the parking lot shown on the map is open and free during the summer (from past experience), however this cannot be guaranteed and as such you should be prepared to find and pay for parking if you are driving. You can CLICK HERE to check out Western’s Parking Services.

Buses: #6 Richmond, #13 Wellington #2 Dundas #10 Wonderland (plus many others)

We hope that those of you who will be staying the Saturday night in London will come out for Sunday’s photo walk. Although we realize the time might not be appealing to everyone we wanted to make sure that attendees who came in from out of town would have an opportunity to participate before they leave for home.

If you have any question about this walk held in conjunction with the London Photo Walk please do not hesitate to contact Kevin Van Lierop, Co-Organizer of the London Photo Walk.

We have been informed by some people that this date is actually Mother’s Day and as such there are other activities going on and some people might not be able to make the walk. Taking this into consideration we encourage everyone who wants to come out to bring their mother to enjoy (what should be) the great weather and beautiful scenery.

We are trying to arrange a guide for our tour that might be able to let us in to some “secret” areas of campus, details of this will come closer to the date if possible.
