Friday 28th April

Critical Mass
6pm - South side of Waterloo Bridge, SE1
A 'special Mayday edition' of the regular central London mass bike ride, where hundreds of cyclists 'rescue parts of the city from the tyranny of the motor car'.

Saturday 29th April

Mayday 2000 Conference
From 10am until 6pm, the conference includes films, workshops and a bookfair.

A30 Protest against the new Prevention of Terrorism Act
Meeting at Highbury Fields, Highbury, N5 at 2pm (for 1 hr)
A major stunt to draw attention to the new legislation, taking the form of a giant photo call for the 'class of 2000' - 'this could be your last chance to protest' say some of the leaflets.

Monday 1st May - MAYDAY!!

10am - Mayday Critical Mass
The sister event of Friday's Critical Mass starts at Hyde Park Corner for what should prove to be a colourful and eco-friendly start to Mayday. IndyMedia UK will bring you the news and views as they happen.

11am - Guerrilla Gardening
Meeting at Parliament Square for the Reclaim The Streets event, the leaflets say 'This is not a Protest!'
'Guerrilla Gardening is NOT a street party. It is an action demanding participation and preparation. An adventure beyond spectating!'.

IndyMedia UK will be reporting live and direct from the event. From the starting point, throughout the day, to where ever the action ends up. The 'public access terminals' will also be up and running allowing the participants to contribute directly to this site - reporting by the people, for the people.
