<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">South London Barrio Fiesta, Morden Surrey </span>

Just to let anyone who is interested know, the Barrio Fiesta sa South London is this weekend, in Morden Surrey, I will have the details later this week around Thursday.

There should be 25,000 Filipinos coming, and some celebrities from Manila, this is not the main Barrio Fiesta in July, this is another one which has become popular.

I am looking to meet up with any on the forum, perhaps a photo can be taken, if anyone is coming, I will be there with Gina and William and Leah on Saturday afternoon another Filipino Brit couple.

Well we are on our way down to Morden Park this morning, but we are all showing up at a Filipino couples house in South West London for a Barebecue and Rice, and some cold cans of Fosters to watch the big match, then its off to the Barrio Fiesta later, wishing everyone a good weekend, and lets hope there are plenty of goals today.

Nope, how come the rice fall if I put the charcoal into the rice cooker instead?

Well we all made it back last night, with the usual complimentary hangover Filipino style, Thanks for the Bells Whiskey Eric/Ver/Ray ? and thanks to Dave for bringing the Carlsbeg, we started off at around 1pm, at Elaine&#39;s house in Morden, and the weather was superb, Elaine and freinds had set up the barbecue, and the Pork and Sausages were coming thick and fast.

Then the Dustbin doubled as the cooler box for the beer, the Filipino way of cooling the beers is simple, get a dustbin, clean it out, fill it with a hosepipe, and then throw 10 ton of ice in it, that seemed to do the trick, and the beers were fairly cold for most of the day.

The salads and rice were superb, and the couscous, lots of the Filipinas pitched in and made various dishes, the Football started at around 2pm, and we all rushed in to see what was happening, and we all know how that went, a fairly dismal game but the result was welcome.

At around 4pm we all shot down the road to the Barrio Fiesta, boy it was hot at a scorching 30 degrees or 86 F, when we arrived the day was fairly over, however we were treated to a performance on Stage by Jericho Rosales, Filipino heart throb, and we went around looking at various stalls, the usual suspects were there, Housing developers, Remittance services, Food, and Filipino shops.

We all left after about 6pm, after all the girls had their Halo Halo, as the photographs show, and back to Elaines house for another round of Bells Whiskey and Cokes, finishing at about 11pm last night, what a night to remember, their is also another Barrio Fiesta in Milton Keynes planned for August 13th I think, details to follow, it is the largest one outside London.

Pete, If we had not been in the pub still we would have been there. Looking forward to seeing you at the Barrio Fiesta, if you&#39;re going to be there, that is&#33;

btw, we finish here today style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Hellooo.gif

Just noted this on the UK Fiesta site..Its a shame if its not on because have been going for the last couple of years and had a really good few days out there.


Milton Keynes Festival 2006

FIESTA UK will not be organising a Milton Keynes festival this year as it has become too expensive to organise for the return that the Charity was gaining. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Doh.gif

Hi Fred, I heard about that when we were at the MK festival last year. Shame too as I thought the MK one was miles better than the Hounslow Barrio Fiesta.
