Spalding May 3rd 2008 ( Read First page )

I will be travelling by train, how easy is it from the station to the parade?

-Carma (The Bocking Rocker)

It maybe tricky and I'd check your return train I've was told there limited 
It's a good mile away but we don't need to be at start untill 1-1:30

The parade finishes about five and people make a dash to leave but there load going on over there a rock concert later that night ( £15 ).

I maybe be able to bend someones arm in Spalding to let people set a tent up in the garden but that's not likely    

[Spud]

Thats really bad..My only method of transport is train

I could join the parade if you need numbers  All I can do is walk atm thou, and sort of Hop. I've not progressed to tricks etc, but I can definately attend.

Do you have any more detail? Starting/Finishing times etc?

That now eight of us is that nine ? 
It's just the distance that's tricky but there's a tractor with a trailer with a band on it when it stops some can hold it and have a quick breather. we can get a drink half way round but we can always bring our own ( Camel bags ).

Well if rache does decide to go (she should!!!) then could i get a lift if you drive and split costs?? or when do i meet you at the station spud ?

[Dark Knight]

After chatting to they I put my bocks on and went for a walk about. I pass their building and he called me over to tell me about a road closed. I had turned to walk off and two builder rush over to ask if they could take some pictures  
Time nicely he could see we are going to get noticed

Make her come 
I can sort a free parking space for you has parking going to be tricky

[theonlysilenthunter]

Would also be good for there to be somewhere to leave the bocks after the parade?? cos after 3 and a half miles i might want a break......but don't want to miss anything!!

How many of those do you think you can swing? (Free parking spaces that is...) I'll be driving too, 130 miles from Medway

If we can pick more up on the way so we don't turn up in different cars I can see them not sorting us out !?
I'll ask but they do read this site so they may tell me before I ask

Or are they reading your mind DK 

 

[Carma]

I will have to book my seat on the train as I am Agoraphobic and being squashed in a crowded train just isn't an option for me. No problemo though. Booking it is

They do check is site he quote what some one said.
So they'll check now and see that we have near got the 12 we need 

Everyone who is coming need to be at the starting field by 1'o'clock.
The float will be all there and people will be getting set to go come early and you can have a look at what following us 

The train station is a some distance away the with all the people there you may it'll take some time !?
The roads start closing up at mid-day to traffic.
Anyone who think they'll have problems PM me for help

I don't think we should do to much bouncing for the parade ?
This is after all going to be nearlly 4 mile with no real breaks !
But if start but give up as long as there's 6 bockers left we can carry two each.

Couple of things.
Their going to email a copy but it's more like a letter you'd need to sign saying you don't mind people taking pictures and your happy that the are in the parade.
As for ground crew day-glow I think you'll have to get your own but any thing should do. It's more so stuards can see who should be in parade and who's just walking in the parade !
If there just the two maybe they'd be OK without !? I will check.
It's a great parade to watch so maybe ground crew may like to just watch and we could get people on route to help if we need it

You are organising the whole thing very well.

I work quite heavily with the Sports, Arts and Leisure Team at South Holland Council. If you need any info quickly and are not getting it feel free to ask me for a little bit of high level persuasion as I work with the Council Chief Exec and Senior Leisure Officers

I've awalys wanted to be in this parade, I was dragged to my first one when I was 13 ( 13 lad and flower !? ) but it's a great day out. So most of what need planed I know about. But thanks.

Our part in the parade is easy even if we are right at the front 
Wave the flags as much as we can and keep moving. The float behind has a rail that we can grab if we near a breather !?
I'm even trying to sort out a pit stop about half way round stood poeple want to drop out or join (16 max ). It's with my mum and the there's a wall behind her where I think you can watch parade and a block off road you could bounce in  
Ground Crew vests !? I ask but like I said I think we'd get our own, but I can get a one-size-fits-all vest from Poundland their not bad ! If ground crew doesn't like to get their own I'd be happy to paid myself for these, after all I'm the one who's got his wish   
Tigger likes his !? 


I could get a stencil made up with GROUND CREW on it and spray them
