Dear Steven and others, I’d say that makes loitering extra advisable and a very fitting day for drifting and celebrating the right to roam. I am not saying we shouldn’t be careful in our wanderings, it is always important to not take big risks (unless something big is at stake) and be respectful but we should never be led by fear or the fear others tell us we should have. I can’t see anything inappropriate in this LRTM’s wander (or any of them). All the best to all of you!

Following the Manchester bombing the security forces are still on high alert and only yesterday a section of Oxford Road on the curry mile was cordoned off because of a suspected car bomb. On Sunday there are two major events at Old Trafford cricket and football grounds (One Love memorial concert and Michael Carrick testimonial), so the level of alert will be especially intense. It is really not a good day for drifting. The line between resistant and just plain inappropriate will be hard to distinguish. > > Just a thought. > > Steve > ________________________________________ > From: Walking Artists Network [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Morag Rose [[log in to unmask]] > Sent: 02 June 2017 14:49 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: First Sunday Derive in Manchester > > Dear friends and fellow walking artists > > Its First Sunday, This Sunday and so time for the LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement) to set off on our monthly wander.

It seems to be more important than ever to celebrate creative wandering and the poetry of the streets but I’ve been a little lost about where to go. I trust we will find a way together so please join me for a derive this Sunday, 4th June, 2pm starting at the Touchstone sculpture outside The Bridgewater Hall. We will be thinking about what Manchester means, and how our footsteps can (re)imagine it as we explore. Companion bees may accompany us and act as guides. We will finish somewhere with a convivial atmosphere to share stories and daydreams. As ever, all welcome to join us; loitering is free and open because we believe the streets and their stories belong to us all. It would be wonderful to see you, but as I don’t know where we will be going please try to be punctual.
