Goes without saying I'd be there for Boston and Spalding ( everyone knows me there :biggrin:)
But the others are in the week so could be more tricky but may not be possible :-\
-
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:
-
i should be able to get to both lincoln ones and maybe sleaford, could get to mablethorpe to on bus but theres not a bus back to lincoln at 8pm and dont fancy getting stranded there..
and is the birchwood one at the birchwood leisure centre place
-
Sorry can't help you with the first two :(
The last three are now good maybes' :)
-
I was thinking of spalding but I looked at the times. they are not too great if you are traveling far...dont want to go there anyway. not after the last time LOL

Understand about mablethorpe not sure what is going to happen with that so might have to put a thinking cap on
-
I wish I could get to more !
We need to promote this sport as much as we can and this sounds a great way to do it ! :banana:
-
What do they want us to do ?
-
i should have new pair by tuesday so i'll have a spare pair that someone can use. but the bearings have worn slightly now.
-
clive is the sleaford one still on as i'll most likely be going there by train.
-
All still on
We have been asked to promote the event in the town and also promote our "club"
DK walking around or running is great we do not have to be able to do flips etc

There's a " Fun Day " the same day here but it starts 11 and ends 4 ?
Darth Vaders opening it
Helicopter rides
Family fun races
Penalty shootouts
Somo wrestling
... and much more
Is this anything to do with what we are doing if so the times are different !?
-
I'm thinking of going for a Heli ride ;D
-
Pleasure trips are a rip off..
-
It's not the same thing but is near by and sould anyone get there early it's only a £1 to get in :)
It's for a local charity. http://www.butterflyhospice.com/
I had a chat to someone about it and they would love to see us there ?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/qazxswqazxsw.jpg)
Gixer are you there with the Star Wars Crew ( I think is said Norwich somewhere ) !?
-
Pleasure trips are a rip off..
It's £35/person
When you get a plane you can take me for a spin .... loop-the-loop, barrel roll :biggrin:

I can do them (by mistake) :nana: Na, I have once done a loop but I really like going with my instructor. He is awesome. I hate hammerhead stalls tho. Flying backwards just isnt pleasant.
I cant fly

Read my post about the Boston Sunday on the topic !?
We can bounce around this other event before Charlie B's
With luck I'll be push biking to the thursday one ( don't know what I'm doing there but !? )
-
Will I be a Tigger in Kirton :(
What's happening there ?
It's tricky to get too but I'm going to try ( checking bus times ).
If I'm on the bus I could be there 2pm for a bock about Kirton !? Not Bock there before :banana:
-
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
-
DK if you need any more info or a chat please call my mobile
-
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 ).
-
( for the kids :D ).
Thats the most Bulls***y statement I have heard all day :nana: tigger

Charlie B's and Jester and I'll be there at least !
The "Gate crashing" one is 11 until 4 and Charlies B's start at 2 until 8
-
Not going Kirton !? I'm in Boston and it spit and bit of rain and clouds are getting darker.
Charlie B say's it all out side and canceled if in rains, which looks very likely :-\
6pm and it's drizzling gad I didn't bother !?
See you ALL sunday ;)

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 ?
-
hmmm, so i'm slightly confused, can someone clear this up a bit for me? what times and where in boston, as i might be able to pick hilly up on way through and come along :)

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
-
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.
-
OK, cheers DK, i will try and be along with hilly if poss, probs be able to stay until about 5, but will try and get along around 10, if you will DK? :)

Charlie B's starts 2pm till 8pm !?
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.
You leaving at five ?
I hope to stay as long as possible if Charlie B is stopping late !?
-
I'm leaving my house at 8ish and stopping at McDonald ( about 8:45 ).
I should be at the stadium about 9:30 :Dark_Knight:
I know it opens 10 but people will be there :thumbs:
-
Cannot get any earlier than 2:00 and stopping till about 6 latest
-
Sorry Charlie B had to go brother was asked into work and just found my tire got a nail in it :(
Hope it hadn't rain for you it's pouring here !?
Me! I'm so happy I'm no longer a TIGGER I've found a Boston Bocker :banana: :banana:
( We'er neither very good but now we can push each other :thumbs: )
The morning was fun there wasn't many people there but it was a laugh I took some pictures I'll post later.
