[chocl8]

Sorry charlie B, i checked that when you suggested it last time, not really, hopefully IB passing through might give me a lift? or Carl, or rob if they are around, anyway, hope to be able to come...

[Charlie B]

Yes I remember, such is life, at least you now have a gym near you

[Charlie B]

Just to clear a copuple of things up

1) Tyre socks are not mandatory as we can protect the floor in other ways, but if you have them on your bocks please keep them on.

2) Protective Gear
If you are over 18 you can make your own choice and accept the risks as long as you sign my form that protects me from losing my house in a court case !!!!

If you are under 18 (a minor) you are my resposibility, please bring your protective gear or you will be asked to use kit on site.

There will be some form of cushioning in certain areas where protective clothing may be optional, but if we are playing games on a hard surface you will need gear (or not play)

Also if you are U18 please can you PM your e mail address as I need to send you a concent for for your parents to complete before you attend.

Bad news..Earliest time I can get in is about 12.30 and I am looking at paying at least £30 for travel and that with the railcard

Cost me that to get Norwich ?
12:30 late but it's all day (3'o'clock) ?
And we could nip into Lincoln afterwards ( you could get late train home ? ).

[Dark Knight]

What's it going to cost us ?
I'm rubbish at everything 
The problem of being a Tigger. I can do somethings but without a spotter or big mirror it's hard to see where I can improve 
So I'll start at basic's but I'm a very quick learner 
But I don't think I'll be doing a back flip over a six foot wall by 3'o'clock 
4'o'clock and I may have been

[Charlie B]

Just a short and for me very dissapointing note

Due to other commitments particularly around the football relegation/promotion race both east mids and look North have now pulled out of attending the event.

Hopefully those of you who have agreed to attend will still be coming for the event rather than the TV exposure.

I am aware that these things happen and that if it had been a slow news day both would probably have attended. Still leaves me feeling low.

You shouldnt feel low about it. It happens , it's TV. You can never change that. If it was practical for me to go I would still be going. You have an amazing load a stuff going on and I am truly gutted I cant make it. It should be really reallly wicked meet!

Go Charlie B!!! 

[Charlie B]

so you know
 Leisure centre has ageed to provide the hall for nothing. I would like to suggest we show support for th leisure centre by offering a goodwill gesture of £2.00 each. Which is pretty good going for 6 hours bocking regardless of weather

[Dark Knight]

6 hours hire for just £2 each !? 

Has for TV, what stops us making a video 

[Joe Legg]

well i hope to be getting a new camera for mallorca this week so i might bring that along and just keep it recording the whole session if that helps.

and yes ill be there to help out and have fun! whos need the tv when you have some really good bockers going. Im just going to meet new bockers and push myself.

so even if i have to do a 6 hour drive ill be there! 

[Dark Knight]

I've got a mini camera which can be put on a helmet !? would be great to get a bockers eye view of a flip 

[Sx Nutta]
