Lincolnshire Street Athletics
« on: June 03, 2008, 01:09:23 PM »

I am involved in a program of events across Lincolnshire developing street athletics

I have been asked if we would also like to showcase bocking at these events.

There will be no payments available as we have been asked if we want to promote our sport to increase membership.

The dates are

Sleaford Tuesday 17th June 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm
Lincoln Birchwood Tuesday 24th June 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm
Boston, Kirton Middlecott School Thursday  26th June from 6:00 pm
Boston, Princess Royal Arena Sunday 29th June 2:00 pm until 8:00 pm
Boston, Peter Payne Leisure centre Tuesday 1st July 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm
Spalding Town centre Friday July 4th  5:30 pm
Grantham, Meres Leisure centre Tuesday july 8th 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm
North Kesteven Leisure Centre nr Lincoln Thursday July 10th 5:00 pm until 7;00 pm
Mablethorpe Sea Wall Tuesday July 15th 6:00 pm until 8 pm

please can you let me know if you can attend any of these dates

I have been told that last year there was a father who had a pair in Kirton and had been seen at the gates on them. But I never found him.
Boston has as far as I know one Tigger, me  :(
But I've never been moaned at and people alway smile.
Trafic jams can be real bad in Boston, you could promote it as an alternative form of transport  :biggrin:

Boston, Princess Royal Arena Sunday 29th June 2:00 pm until 8:00 pm

There's a " Fun Day " the same day here but it starts 11 and ends 4 ?

Darth Vaders opening it
Helicopter rides
Family fun races
Penalty shootouts
Somo wrestling
... and much more

Is this anything to do with what we are doing if so the times are different !?
