ON THE ROAD

  • Meeting point: Bassett Road, NW10. Nearest station: Latimer Road Underground Station.
  • Do not drink and drive – arrive and leave safely. Sunglasses are essential – for sun protection and a subtle way to people-watch at the same time!
  • Stay hydrated – we provide free water across both days.
  • Always wear your pouch at the front – it’s safer and lets you show off that dance move!
  • Wear comfortable shoes – or it will feel like running a marathon in heels and who wants that?
  • Be cautious around parade vehicles (bar trucks, music trucks, etc.). Accidents happen – don’t be the accident!
  • Rags and small towels for waving mostly but yes wiping
  • Sudacreme – because legs do rub
  • Baby oil - no ashy skins please – yes, white people too
  • Makeup and glitter – have fun with the colours and accessories
  • We have Arawak cups this year – So errrm hydrate as we will be drinking hard!
  • Portable charger – the DJ station is not for this purpose
  • Pain killers – because no one wants to miss out because of a bit of discomfort
  • Hand sanitisers/ small pack of baby wipes
  • Bring a friend – its never too late to get someone else involved
  • Bring good energy – above all
  • Chapped lips are never cute – use lip balm!
  • Trim your toenails – trust us, you’ll thank us later.
  • Set a meeting point with your friends within the band – there’s always that one friend who disappears!
  • Whistles, horns & triangles if you want to make noise in celebration.
  • Towels & Rags for waving - or making a rag storm.
  • Rep Your Flag - no matter where you hail from, bring your flag to show it!
  • Estimate the sun – sunblock saves lives!
  • Always stay in groups – safety first, but also, more friends to dance with!
  • Leave valuables at home (jewellery, etc.), but carry your ‘vex money’ (minimal necessary cash in case of emergency or low network signal).
