Hey guys,

I'm trying to sort out one for Birmingham. I've phoned the organisers and they similarly said that individuals would not be permitted, but reasonably sized groups would be. I've got at least 5 people coming but I hope to get that number large enough for us to get our own "wave" for the run (we're down for the 3 mile run at 1pm).

If anyone fancies coming to Birmingham to take part (since we're not further than 2 hours from most places in the country) then let me know. I've got a thread here: http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=4434.0

Bocking on the Birmingham mile IS APPROVED!

Hi David

Thanks so much for getting in touch about coming to the Birmingham Mile!

We would love to have you there for the event and can definitely fit you in to a wave. All we ask is that you let us know what wave you are planning on entering and we will let the marshals know who will ensure you are at the front of the wave – for health and safety reasons as you can imagine.

If people are planning on coming down on the day to sign up please be aware that the first waves are full and to direct your team to the 2pm or 2.30 waves.

Does this make sense and is it ok?

Please let me know what you decide to do.

All the best

Clare

If anyone else is interested in coming, let me know ASAP!

I'm assuming the plan is to get there quite early and wander around until I find you guys?

binop9 · « **Reply #80 on:** March 20, 2010, 07:11:22 PM »

what time are we meeting up and where abouts.

is there going to be someone at the station saying you mad bunch hop this way.. ( or something like that lol )

or is it like what rawrk said n just wander round till we bump into each other..
if so as i and a few others on here dont know where to go..

could Q or someone local to the area give us either directions from the station or a post code/address for tomtom.

Thanks
Chris

rawrk · « **Reply #81 on:** March 20, 2010, 09:45:55 PM »

Well my mum is driving me down, so like. hopefully i will find you guys because we'll have to be at the front?

anywho, if someone who is good at organising can say 'meet here at this time' that would be good :]

W3bbo · « **Reply #82 on:** March 21, 2010, 02:07:34 AM »

Well, quite a few people who were on my "deffo coming" list have actually dropped out at the last minute, quite a disappointment. At risk of jynxing things, there's still at least 2 more people coming for a total of 3.

If anyone is thinking of coming to the Birmingham event there are two chances to meet up: either at 1200h (midday) at Selly Oak station car-park (there are two-car parks, but if you stand on the pedestrian bridge over the station you can see both places fine, or at the starting place at Cannon Hill park during the day. I'll be checking this thread regularly so just post here if you are coming.

for southampton, me and q will be there for ten, not sure where as we have to park. My mobile is 07852714767, feel free to call and we can sort stuff out

asbestospiping · « **Reply #84 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:06:22 AM »

Our wave is 1200, so you need to be there to check in well before that, I do not know where me and q will be until we get there, but we will be there early, so call us. Dont worry if you cant find us, the marshalls need to direct you to the front of the 1200 3 mile wave.

rawrk · « **Reply #85 on:** March 21, 2010, 09:24:10 AM »

Alright, I'll text you or something. Me and my mum should be there roughly the same time as you. See you guys laterr.

Really great days folks, I hope every one's events went well. I have become a walking reminder of the importance of wrist guards, even though I would of still broken my arm. I'm really pleased with the Southampton event, big thanks to everyone who made it!

I fell on my arm, the doc reckons wrist guard would of saved my wrist but not helped on my arm. But if I was wearing them I would of put my arms out, fell differently, and might not have broken anything. Wear wrist guards people!

Good advice mate and hope it feels better now (or at least less painful)

I always wear elbow guards too as I tend to slide sideways and land on my elbows they have saved me so many times I love em
