 As in the previous year, the WOMBLES were active in preparations for the 2002 MayDay, which was given the working title "MayDay in Mayfair". Preparations began as early as December 2002 for what was planned to be a week-long set of events, the 'Festival of Alternatives'.<ref>'London Mayday', [https://indymedia.org.uk/en/2001/12/17630.html?c=on Second Mayday 2002 planning meeting], ''UK Indymedia'', 3 December 2001 (accessed 25 January 2017).</ref> The trade unions working with Globalise Resistance held their traditional march and speeches. However, in response to the heavy handling policing of previous years, anarchist / anti-globalisation groups took a more decentralised approach, planning a number of different actions and multiple meet-up points through-out the day rather than one single event.<ref>[http://www.urban75.com/Action/mayday02.html Mayday Mass Action 2002 - Mayday in Mayfair], ''Allsorts mailing list'' (via Urban75.net), 2002 (accessed 25 January 2017).</ref><ref>The main website for the Mayday in Mayfair / Festival for Alternatives, OurMayday.org.uk, is accessible through [https://web.archive.org/web/20020601074524/http://ourmayday.org.uk/ Archive.org].</ref>
