Halloween Bock 2010 (London)

[Small]

I will be putting a lot more in to next years meet now that I know what to expect.

[binop9]

I agree it was a good meet but it could have been better..

in my POV.. it seems to be becoming more a " oh i will better that person " kind of competition meet.. now i know people will bit*h and they may but as jason said this is meant to be a fun and dress up to a point meet for all to enjoy.. 

the more elaborate our costumes get of course the more we are gonna get asked to take pictures and thus causing a crowd and thus annoying the police and or "plastic's " ( PCSO to the people that dont know that term meaning lol )

the costumes i seen last year i was at this event.. where funny and also great. but things are getting more out of hand..


one final point i thing needs raising if and when people get lost in the supposed group, people in the main Group should either hold the main convoy up and wait for them to catch up or better still come back and look for the lost bockers..

due to the free for all on the night a small bunch of us where either left behind or forgotten

Clive and his Daughters where among this group along with myself and my mother ( acting as Ground Crew )
if it wasn't for myself and my mother having our phones on us clive and his daughters would still be in london or in danger.. This could happen to anyone !! people from the main group should contact those that might be missing.

I feel this needs to be worked on more then anything else as safety is paramount.. especially in this sport of ours

I agree some sort of contact list is required, unfortunately we weren't aloud back through the square to come and find you lost bockers. So next maybe a contact list and map. I don't think it would take much to sort out just some with a works photo copier that can be used.

I think charity buckets is a really good idea, maybe carried by ground crew that are suited and booted. Maybe children in need or sports relief if there is one on around the time next year

[Jason]

Yes a contact list is a very good idea or even just all swap numbers at the start of the meet (Can bluetooth do a mass transfer)

The bucket idea is a good one and it has come up before but do be aware that you may need certain permisions to collect and I thik you will find that you will not be alowed to collect most of the main venues that we visit due to them being owned by private companys and there are many restrictions on collecting such as licenses

Children in need is a strange one and aroung that time you are alowed to go out with buckets almost anywhere but only at that time of year

This may sound a but draconian but there were alot of people going round london colecting for charitys and keeping the money (crafty hey)

So they "legislated" it to keep an eye on things

But if some people are willing to do the ground work and set it up I see no reason why not but don't just roll up with a bucket and start collecting as you can be detained by the police if you don't have the right paperwork (they will think your a fraudster )

[webmaster]

If you want I should be able to resize and upload them in one go in the halloween meet section
never tried it but I think I can ftp them up

[madmonky13]

yes please naz. thanks

[madmonky13]

ok that didnt work.

[Jason]

Nice one Jordan

You are a good photographer

I love the way the Eyes on the Dragon came out  (Better than last year with the mirror ones)

Thanks for the public post mate it makes it easier for me at least

Can't wait for the rest

When I want to resize a load of photos I use Paintshop Pro (the free one) as the Pixel size settings stay as you set them so it is 2 clicks and a name for each

Jason 

[madmonky13]

lol. thats it jason sorry. most of them were pants due to lack of light, i will hopefully be purchasing a nice flash for next year. if you want i can give you paintshop pro 8?

jordan

[Jason]
