Halloween Fancy Dress Bock 2011 London
« on: November 03, 2010, 08:32:54 PM »
The Hanworth Banned will be going to London on All Hallows Eve 2011 (31st October)

All who wish to join us are welcome  :Cbiggrin:

Pics from previous years are here so you can get an idea of what happens

http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?action=gallery;cat=33  

I have started this thread early to try and avoid any confusion like this year

Times will be flexible and I will be fashionably late as usual  :Claugh: (might even be early next year  :Cbiggrin:)

I should be at Covent Garden around 5ish but would suggest anyone that wants to start earlier goes to The Eye as this is a good meeting spot

We will be moving on from Covent garden when we get bored/chucked out and going on to either Leicester Sq or Trafalgar Sq depending of the time and popular opinion

Please this year all bring a phone and swap numbers with as many others as you can so if you get lost you can find the main group again

Any new folks that don't know many people I will have a number to post up here a week or so before so you can contact me if needed

This is not an organised meet just a mass gathering of mates but there are a few simple requests I have of all who attend

1-- Don't argue with/upset the Police/Security guards (Remember we bock here regularly and have to deal with the fallout)

2--Those who wish to flip/big trick (basicaly anything dangerous to the crowd) must pick a Safety officer (sounds important don't it  :Claugh:) from their numbers who will decide if it is safe in each area we visit and organise spotters/blockers etc from among those who wish to assist them

3--The Safety Officers word is Law if he/she says NO we don't do it (this one isn't really a request and will be enforced by the three fattest/heaviest bockers falling on the offenders  :Claugh:)

4--Please wear some form of fancy dress (it can be simple you don't have to compete but it is fun if we all try hard)

5--Have Fun (this one is an Order  :Cbiggrin:)

I may add a few more as time goes on if we feel we need to

A few people have suggested that we hold the meet on a close Saturday or Sunday and I will explain why I don't think this is not a good idea
I have been working in london many years (including many evenings/nights) and have been in the westend over the week that holds Halloween and the night of the 31st is the only time that the "party is on" so to speak

The weekends either side see very little action and a few people might have partys on the nearby days but if you want crowds and costumes the 31st is the only night
We can hold normal meets any day but this one has a set date for a reason I mean you wouldn't have christmas on the nearest sunday would you  :Cbiggrin:

Sorry I have had to put some rules in place but several people have said that we need a bit of organisation before an accident causes a Bocking Ban in London's best spots

Well the good news is I have been thinking that a mid summer Fancy dress might be a good idea so you all might not have to wait and we could make that one on a Sunday
But that will be in another Post when we have thought about it

Not sure mate

Sometimes giving people free reign gets the best results but a theme can get peoples minds working

So lets say we can have a theme if someone comes up with a good one but people can also do anything they want if they don't like the theme  :Claugh:

Think that covers it  :Cbiggrin:

Yep mate

The costumes can sometimes get in the way (specially 15 ft wings  :Claugh:)

Already working on next years costume but think it might take me 2 years to build it  :Cbiggrin:

You London lot are so lucky!
Most of the NEWCs have just come back from a weekend down there to see a show (with the WAGs) so no stilts  :Ccry:
And we spent most of the time looking at the sights saying Wow what a great bocking spot!!!!  :Cyes:

Yeh your not wrong! $$$$$
I think we will have to come down on a Bockers trip only, and stay out of town. Was wondering what to do with these oyster cards now!  :Claugh:

Yep the Oyster cards are a great help they cut the cost of traveling in a lot mate

I have heard of £300+ for a hotel room for one night and the cheepest is around a 100

But you can cut that right down by traveling 5 miles

Hi Jason! Is there any kind of update on how many people are going to this? I have an epic costume in mind, just need to find out if there's going to be enough people coming to make the build time of it worthwhile!

Hi Springer

Clive and I will be there as usual and a few others showed an interest

Normally quite a few turn up but even if it is only a few of us the public reaction to the costumes are normally fab

I supose it is time to ask all that want to come to stick a post on here so we can get an idea of numbers

So

WHO'S COMING TO THE HALLOWEEN BOCK

By the way it's on a week night this year
