Title: Lincolnshire Street Athletics
Post by: Charlie B on June 03, 2008, 01:09:23 PM

I am involved in a program of events across Lincolnshire developing street athletics

I have been asked if we would also like to showcase bocking at these events.

There will be no payments available as we have been asked if we want to promote our sport to increase membership.

The dates are

Sleaford Tuesday 17th June 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm
Lincoln Birchwood Tuesday 24th June 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm
Boston, Kirton Middlecott School Thursday  26th June from 6:00 pm

I have been told that last year there was a father who had a pair in Kirton and had been seen at the gates on them. But I never found him.
Boston has as far as I know one Tigger, me  :(
But I've never been moaned at and people alway smile.
Trafic jams can be real bad in Boston, you could promote it as an alternative form of transport  :biggrin:

Quick post about Boston Kirton Middlecott on Thursday

Event has been compromised and will now be on grass.

Do not think it will be worth attending

sat even in Mkt rasen will be excellent see other posts

Sunday at Boston, if we can link this in with the other event DK it will be worth travelling to

Post by: Dark Knight on June 25, 2008, 07:37:39 PM
the earlier one is at the sport ground ( it's a big place ) and when I chatted to them last saturday they said they'd wish they'd thought about us !
They are charging £1 to get in but it's a charity so I don't mind paying that ?
Has far as I know they'd be happy to let us bounce about there, and so people could come early and go to this one first  :)

Oh didn't know if anyone would/could go to this one and I'm bring a Tigger Puppet ( for the kids  :D ).

Boston Event on Sunday

Just been made aware that they are expecting about 4,000 people at the Princess Royal Stadium during the day.

I cannot get there until early afternoon, Looks like it may be a great day, certainly better than a rainy Kirton

jest & myself will be there, certainly think DK will also anyone else ?

The meet which Charlie B has sorted out starts at 2pm to 8pm
BUT there's a Fun day in the same place 11am to 4pm
Here's a map it a bit out of town and I don't know if there's transport to there ??
http://www.boston.gov.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=487&Itemid=3309
I've never been there so don't know much about the place ?

I'm planing to get to the charity fun day about 10ish !?
I brothers coming to this one to go on the helicopter ride ( £35/person )
The Norwich Star Wars group will be there .... Isn't Gixer in that  ???

So I'll be there most of the day
Title: Re: Lincolnshire Street Athletics
Post by: Charlie B on June 27, 2008, 06:46:08 PM
As DK has siad both the events are taking place at the same venue. It is a modern sports arena just outside Boston. They are expecting approx 4,000 people to attend so should be fun.

There is overlap between both events of approx 2 hours. I will be there from about 2:00 pm as I have other commitments in the morning.

Post by: chocl8 on June 27, 2008, 07:34:08 PM

I maybe push biking if brother doesn't come. It's only 7 miles so shouldn't take to long. I should be there before 10. I don't have a plan was just planing to bounce around, I told them I bring a puppet for a bit of fun.
