I have now worked out that I can't leave work on Friday, and get to the ferry terminal in time to see the concert.
Looks like I will be giving the tour a miss this year. Shame, as I lobe Babbacombe Lee.

Just a quick one to let people know if you are coming to Brum on Friday, Broad street is closed due to the Labour conferance at the ICC/Symph Hall. Access to Brindley Place for parking food etc. is through the back streets such as Sheepcote Street. Pubs and everything else open as normal.  |

Simon, you don't happen to know if Broad Street is closed to pedestrians do you? Only I usually get a train to Five Ways and walk down Broad Street to get to the Town Hall. Obviously if it's closed then that might be something of a flawed plan!
Thanks.

H i Greg, nope its just closed to all vehicles bar the police etc. You can still walk along Broad Street, you just wont be able to walk through the Symphony Hall. |

Ok, for you folks attending Brum Town Hall tonght some advice and warnings.... Firstly as i said above Broad Street is closed and it is affecting traffic and it is and will be heavy! If you were intending to park in the car park by the Symphony Hall and the Rep, you cant cos it is closed to the public. Bullring and Brindleyplace carpark are open as normal. For those coming in by train, i have been informed that police are carrying out random bag searches so you might want to expect this. Also they are doing random bag searches on Broad St as well, mainly for back packs etc. For you photographers out there i would advise you dont take any photos of the symphony hall or the Hyatt hotel(where all the big wigs are staying). Today and yesterday i have seen a few people taking photos and the pollice have asked them to delete the photo or have confiscated the film  Basically Brum is on 'High Alert' so give your self plenty of time for jouneys or anyhing else you had planned. I have never seen so many police in one place. |

Probably wise, i was walking past the Symph hall past the Police and unwisely decided to reach into my inside coat pocket for my cigarettes. The police looked a bit twitchy for a bit, but then they realised i coudnt do much damage with 20 camels. |

The reason for the police is the Labour Party spring conferance at the ICC/Symph Hall, with our glorious leader Mr Brown in attendance. Its not so bad in town but you will notice them when you get to Broad Street. |

Have the Labour Party got tickets for the show? If not why not?
I hope you all have a good time tonight and you don't have any DNA checks.
