They regularly produce an information guide, but the festival wasn't mentioned in the latest one we received and we could not find out very many details on the Council's website.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-87195143961793296042017-04-17T15:41:55.202+01:002017-04-17T15:41:55.202+01:00Bob,

Although we live less than two miles from the Royal Arsenal site in Woolwich, we found out that it was happening from items on the London TV news programmes.<br /><br />The digital bridge camera that I was going to take had been charged ... but I forgot to take it and instead I had to rely on my reserve camera. The battery giving out was a good excuse to go home just as the air temperature started to drop dramatically.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Bob Robert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-18943046017743304902017-04-17T13:50:58.614+01:002017-04-17T13:50:58.614+01:00Bob,

Yes, charging Camera Batteries- guess you will not be caught out again on this front. Thanks for the great photos. Cheers. KEV. KEV.
