... actually willard, Oxford's market is a terrible mockery of what once
it was, now that they've joined it to some awful piece of designer-mediaeval
called the Golden Cross, and there's no sawdust on the floor any more,
There's a real market in Newport (Gwent) though. And doubtless many
other towns equally off the tourist track.

Subject: schedule for the Walking Tour
The schedule for our Walking Tour on Saturday, 10 June, after the
conclusion of The Dynamic Text conference is as follows:
*** 8 a.m. leave from the steps of the Medical Sciences building, 1
King's College Circle.
*** 9 to 9:30 a.m. arrive at St. Lawrence Market (be envious, Oxonians!)
to eat breakfast and buy provisions for the picnic lunch.
*** 10 to 10:30 a.m. depart from the Market to the ferry docks.
*** 12 noon arrive at Hanlan's Point (Western extremity of Toronto
Island).
*** 12:30 to 1 p.m. hold glorious picnic somewhere near Hanlan's.
*** 2 p.m. depart for Ward's Island.
*** 2:30 p.m. arrive at Ward's Island (actually continuous with the rest
of the Island) and drink coffee or other substance at the local cafe.
*** 3 to 3:30 depart for the mainland.
*** 4 p.m. arrive at the mainland ferry docks and (a) walk back to the
university or (b) take the subway or bus, as the stamina of the
individual dictates.
The Tour should thus be over by 5 p.m. All times are grossly
approximate. The route will be determined by the inspiration of the
moment.
The Conference will pay for the ferry ride but not all the other
expenses (to a total of ca. $10 or less).
Good walking shoes are a must. A light anorak (waterproof jacket) would
be a good idea, as would a backpack.
