Following the recent Lincoln Indoor meeting
Both BBC Look North & BBC East Midlands want to feature Bocking on future News programs.
I have negotiated the use of the North Hykeham Leisure Centre for a whole day on the 19th April from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm for a nominal charge.
Obviously I need a reasonable turn out of bockers of all abilities to attend to showcase the sport.
Please register your interest by sending me a personal message with your e mail address & phone contact number
This is open to all bockers using any brand of power stilt
As it is all day numbers should not be an issue.
-
Damn the wash!
-
I am so there, pm on the way :banana:
-
i am thinking of comming need to talk to some people first
-
you know what its the busiest calander ive ever had the bocking one, im interested, i have fam in lincon so i may come up, ill mull it over.
differently why bbc east midlands filming up in lincon?
-
It may just be worth swimming the wash for..or equally spending 8 hours on a bus or train lol
-
Depending on sewing workload I may be interested, I can fit two people in my car and we can share petrol. I'm away all that following weekend so I need to make sure about my workload and stock levels first!

Wow that's one hell of a session!
I've wanted to go to gym sessions but taking the day off work for a couple of hours wasn't do able.
As this is a whole day I'd love to come for this, I will try to arrange something and pm you my details once I know for sure.
Regardless if I can make it or not, must say you are putting alot of effort into the sport so well done.
-
Lookin promising, others also interested, group from Grimsby may come down
BBC East Mids are interested as a direct result of the Radio Interviews I have done recently about bocking. They pick them up from the BBC Web.
I would not have been able to get the coverage without the support of colleagues within my Company the Lincolnshire Sports Partnership
Lincolnshire sits within both North Eastern (look North) and the the East Mids coverage with the south west being BBC East Mids. So coverage from both is good.
Very pleased that both have taken interest in the sport, we now need to give them something to put out.
-
so lets give it to them, lol

Look North ... If Hannah Moffat comes and wants a go I'll volunteer to hold her hands :P

What's it going to cost !?

lol DK :Dark_Knight:
-
Still negotiating on cost, trying to get it for free.
I have got the full day with the hope that the TV guys turn up, still awaiting confirmation from look North, My company has a good relationship with look North so this should not be an issue. East Mids have pulled out due to new ways of working as they now consider Lincoln to not be worth the effort.
Also talking to Lincs FM and radio Lincolnshire again to see if they will attend.
Currently 12 guys coming down from Grimsby plus Stevie and a few from B-Bounce so looking at least 20. Another 8/10 have committed to attend but not confirmed.
Total cost normally is £120 + VAT. However I will not be the charged going rate. Suggest you bring a £5.00 just in case.

Sorry charlie B, i checked that when you suggested it last time, not really, hopefully IB passing through might give me a lift? or Carl, or rob if they are around, anyway, hope to be able to come...
-
Yes I remember, such is life, at least you now have a gym near you
-
Just to clear a copuple of things up
1) Tyre socks are not mandatory as we can protect the floor in other ways, but if you have them on your bocks please keep them on.
2) Protective Gear
If you are over 18 you can make your own choice and accept the risks as long as you sign my form that protects me from losing my house in a court case !!!!
If you are under 18 (a minor) you are my resposibility, please bring your protective gear or you will be asked to use kit on site.
There will be some form of cushioning in certain areas where protective clothing may be optional, but if we are playing games on a hard surface you will need gear (or not play)
Also if you are U18 please can you PM your e mail address as I need to send you a concent for for your parents to complete before you attend.

Cost me that to get Norwich ?
12:30 late but it's all day (3'o'clock) ?
And we could nip into Lincoln afterwards ( you could get late train home ? ).

What's it going to cost us ?
I'm rubbish at everything :o
The problem of being a Tigger. I can do somethings but without a spotter or big mirror it's hard to see where I can improve :-\
So I'll start at basic's but I'm a very quick learner :thumbs:
But I don't think I'll be doing a back flip over a six foot wall by 3'o'clock :biggrin:
4'o'clock and I may have been :o :biggrin:
-
Just a short and for me very dissapointing note
Due to other commitments particularly around the football relegation/promotion race both east mids and look North have now pulled out of attending the event.
Hopefully those of you who have agreed to attend will still be coming for the event rather than the TV exposure.
I am aware that these things happen and that if it had been a slow news day both would probably have attended. Still leaves me feeling low.

You shouldnt feel low about it. It happens , it's TV. You can never change that. If it was practical for me to go I would still be going. You have an amazing load a stuff going on and I am truly gutted I cant make it. It should be really reallly wicked meet!
Go Charlie B!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
-
so you know
Leisure centre has ageed to provide the hall for nothing. I would like to suggest we show support for th leisure centre by offering a goodwill gesture of £2.00 each. Which is pretty good going for 6 hours bocking regardless of weather
-
6 hours hire for just £2 each !? :o
Has for TV, what stops us making a video ;D
-
well i hope to be getting a new camera for mallorca this week so i might bring that along and just keep it recording the whole session if that helps.
and yes ill be there to help out and have fun! whos need the tv when you have some really good bockers going. Im just going to meet new bockers and push myself. :thumbs:
so even if i have to do a 6 hour drive ill be there! :banana:

-
Never had a problem with sat nav's..it's the plonkers using them..Went with dad other day and he got the postcode rong!! Quite fortunate it only took us 10 miles from the destination :)
-
Stupid SAT NAV's would send cars and lorries down a small lane to cross a bridge called " TWO PLANK BRIDGE " Can you worked out the problem ?
It IS just that TWO PLANKS of wood :o :biggrin:
-
I've got a small video camera which can be mounted on a helmet ( would love some one to wear it when doing flips ).
I've got it mounted on a long pole which you can hold and I'll do some video of me own bocks walking, running and bouncing.

Quick guess from Lincoln would be one heading to Newark as it passes through there if not stop outside the place :thumbs:
Wish I could give up a left but I'm pushing my luck with the car to get there and back I couldn't risk the extra gearing ( clutch slips ).
