Dear friends and loiterers
It’s First Sunday, this Sunday and so we will be loitering, although in a slightly different time and space….
June’s First Sunday is happening as part of We Invented The Weekend Festival at Salford Quays.
Join The LRM at 12 noon Sunday June 7th outside The Hot House (M50 2EQ What3Words inner.deck.stones)
There is a table with our name on it in The Lowry Bar (downstairs) and we will finish there sometime between 1.30-2pm.
We will be playing with some classic psychogeographical tools, and all are welcome to join us. As ever loitering is free, with the pace and direction decided collectively. The terrain around The Quays is largely flat but the festival means it may be quite busy if you have any specific access needs please do get in touch. The only rules are those The LRM always follow: take care of yourself, and each other, and don’t be an arse.
The full festival programme is here: https://www.weinventedtheweekend.com/

Dear friends and fellow loiterers
Merry May!
It’s First Sunday, This Sunday and so we gather again for some convivial, creative and critical wanders.
Please join The LRM 2.00pm outside John Rylands Library on Deansgate for some shadow play.
The pace and direction will emerge collectively and after 90-120ish minutes we will retire for refreshments and story swapping. If you have any specific access requirements or anything we can do to support your loitering please get in touch. The only rules are “take care of yourself, each other and the environment we pass through. And don’t be an arse”. We will be setting off by 2.10 and frankly don’t know where we will end up so please try to be punctual. As ever all our welcome and its free to wander with us.
