Londons only 3-day courier-led bicycle and racing extravaganza!
If you remember London’s Calling ‘07 then let’s face it, you probably weren’t there. Held over three days as a pre-event for the messenger world championships in Dublin the following weekend, it was a ridiculously frenetic and brilliantly exciting celebration of all things ‘courier-culture’ related. For all those who managed to get out of bed, get on their bikes and roll up to the many events that took place across London it was without doubt the defining weekend of summer 2007.
This years London’s Calling will very much be an ‘open event’ and the organisers extend a warm and welcoming invitation to both messengers and non-messengers alike. With literally thousands of pounds worth of superb prizes from our many sponsors and events to cater for all tastes it’s shaping up to be the hottest weekend in the summer calendar. Get on it!!
Incidentally, click the picture above for a closer look..
Yes, yes, you can register now using paypal with the link on the right. For a levy of only 20 British Sterlings you too can grab a piece of the London’s Calling action. Included for your dollars will be a superbly designed limited edition London’s Calling t-shirt brought to you from the now infamous gaggle of child loom slaves over at the compound D’House of Pistard. Please do Register early to secure entry into all the events and also to reserve your size of shirt (when paying with paypal, add your name and state which m/f/ size you need to the notes section). Remember too that all proceeds from the event go directly to the LCEF. What better way to contribute the fund!!? I ask you..

Is there any way of registering without using paypal? cheers

Hi, we’d prefer to have people pre-register so that we can ask whether they want to compete in the roller-racing and also to take their preferences for the t-shirt – but, if you haven’t got paypal you can either arrange to meet up with one of us in Central London (my number is 07747828800) or register with us on Friday the 22nd at 6:00 at The Foundry, Old Street.
Cheers!

Heh Norm,
It would certainly be preferable and most helpful for you to pre-register with us – that way you can get the shirt you want and register for the roller racing. You can then pick your shirt up from us at The Foundry from 6:00 on the 22nd.
Any other questions let us know…

oi friends over the pond…I have only done one messenger champiohnship (SF Calif 1996) but what a blast it was….
even got in a naked lap (after all women save one had been pulled from the miss-an-out), sort of a long-held dream to ride naked in my town of origin.
Some day I shall finagle a way, a ticket over, SOMETHING , to try your vastly improved street riding…

Geezer, I’m fucking knackered, and barely made it home to get changed. Just woke up, too late, too tired. Anyway – I’m coming down on Saturday instead, save that large t-shirt and stuff for me!!!

Alrighty then, but don’t miss the big race!
August 23, 2008 at 10:06 am
Argh. I ain’t going anywhere, my body doth protesteth too much. You’re gonna have to use what’s left of my £20 as a donation to the LCEF.

Oh well, maybe next year! Or the year after that, whatever…
