Title: Bocking Demonstartion
Post by: Charlie B on January 16, 2009, 03:25:07 PM
I have been asked if we would attend a come and try it day at the North Kesteven Sports Centre from 1 till 4 on 31st January

We will have to provide the opportunity for people to try bocking (as we normally do)

I have been advised that there will be no cost to the club

Who is prepared to come and bock with the proviso that you also help me get anyone who wants to try the sport on the Pro-jump bocks we have

It's 4 miles out of Lincoln so maybe a little far for you ( 150 miles ) but I'd say you'd be more than welcome. We old farts have to sick together :)

Please note

There has been some changes to the Itinerary by the organisers. They have cut down the time to 12 til 1 so we will only be on site for an hour.

It would be a bit of a trek for most for only an hour for most of you. Please rearrange your plans accordingly

Thanks Clive, I really don't think it's worth us coming from Norfolk now  :Cno: still the 7th eh  :Cbiggrin:
Title: Re: Bocking Demonstartion
Post by: Dark Knight on January 29, 2009, 01:12:09 PM
I'll be there even if we can only been seen there.
I'll be there really early if anyone still wants to come along before hand.
With luck the weather may not be too bad at have a bounce outside somewhere.
The same go afterwards the gym too may even head into Lincoln.

I've a spare pair of 110's and a kids pair with all the padding so I've got everyone covered :)

I'll see if that girl from the gym wants another go but I know she's tight for cash but maybe we can twist her arm to get some. I think she told me she had friends that may like a go as well, I'll email her and find out LOL

Charlie B don't what your plan is but I'm dropping someone off there at about 10am.
I've no hand outs but I'll try to get something printed if I can make a print working.
So if I'm not around the gym I'll be looking for a "Hot spot" for my laptop  :Cradar:

So I'll be around the gym a good hour before and I'm in no rush afterwards if it's worth one of us haning around ?

Just to say the weather doesn't look to bad but its cold out so I'll be about around 10-11 look for my car !

As long as a words contain 4 or more letters and the first and last letters are right the brain can work most sentences out. Or put them the same way read this quickly ?
As lnog as a wrods cotnain 4 or mroe letetrs and the frist and lsat letetrs are rihgt the brian can wrok msot snetnecs out.

Tahnks for the prompt returns on this, understand from all of you about distance v time.

I have been asked to provide demos and taster sessions on two days w/c 16th February, this will be in sleaford from about 2:00 pm until 4:00 pm as part of half term activities. Will let everyone know more in a few days and post a specific thread.

Just got back it went very well  :thumbs:
Four adults and a couple of kids.
One of the lads was hight jumping by the end of the hour. :o
The kids stilts where good but never really seen them being used much the kids who had a go where a little small but little kids grow up so future bockers maybe :)

We where in the gym for an hour and a half by the time they kick us out  :Claugh:

Teaching kids was tricky don't thing they'll buy yet but maybe Xmas time ?
I think we may have one or two who's now thinking about getting some so it was worth us going anyway.

They didn't advertise the event very well ?
I've just had an email from someone saying they was told we was doing this next week and his two mates was going to come and have a go !
I said it maybe tricky next week but their coming to look anyway.

So with the two I think we got hooked two, and these two we'll have about 15 YYB's soon

I think we could almost sell tickets to watch next week  :D
Maybe this could be what CB could be like ?
