Urgent - Grande Parade Route

Just received this from Ann Ford
60 ANNIVERSARY GRANDE PARADE, OXFORD
Sunday 30 November 2008
For those members wishing to follow the Grande Parade in Oxford, there is a change to the previously published route (due to a recent change in legislation by Oxford City). There is now NO ACCESS to the High Street - if you do go there, you will receive an automatic £80 penalty from their CCTV surveillance. Below is the revised route - which although slightly longer, will now pass William Morris' first garage, and then through a more scenic part of Oxford. I shall endeavour to hand out printed directions, on the day, but without knowing how many will be participating, this could be difficult.
exit the BMW MINI Plant by Gate 5, turning left and going down slip road taking the 4th exit at the roundabout (under fly-over).
Cowley Road. The Plain
Continue straight on over Magdalen Bridge,
Turn right into Longwall Street, then into St. Cross Street, then into South Parks Road.
Turn right into Parks Road, then turning left into Banbury Road.
Then into St. Giles' Street, turning right into Beaumont Street.
Turn left in to Worcester Street then enter Hythe Bridge Street.
Turn left at The Royal Oxford Hotel but then carry straight over into Hollybush Row, then turning right into Abingdon Road, and continuing on to The Oxford Spires Four Pillars Hotel.
