Hay guys a few of you know that the manager of the Bury GYM wants us to do a sports day thing to show what we can do it is not a paid gig but its still good to let people know about the sport I have uploaded the letter i got in the post this morning and i hope loads of us can make it down I know its a Sunday but surly people from Norwich can get some way of getting down and if any one els wants to come a join us it will be good for people to see that there are other Bocking groups around so if Naz you can send me some cards and maybe a banner or 2 and other promo stuff that would be grand I will PM you my address if you need it
Thanks people hope you all can make it

It's a shame it is a sunday tbh...Getting a train will not really be possible. It takes about 2/2.30 on a good sat. on a sunday I cant really do it. The problem is not getting back to Norwich. But getting home from there. the trains are not very frequent at all. I will look into trains and other ways but I can't fully commit to it.
It looks like a good event but I am not sure as a group we are ready for it. If we are letting people on bocks do we need some kind of insurance? Forms? And something we really lack is safety breifings and stuff. I might be wrong...but I really think we need to sort ourselves out as a group sharpish...
At the gym it seemed like we were doing them a favor..now they are doing us one ???

Hey spud,
dont quote me on this but as far as im aware they r gonna do us a free/discounted gym session or summit like that in return, but i would just like to go down and have a bit of fun even if we dont get much out of it we might get some extra bockers =]
hope you can come down, if not come down sat night and im sure i can arrange for ppl to stay at my house or gregs =]
Much Love

one problem with that.... my mum only has one leg! lol
-
I was waiting for that :D
I think it is a good idea :) I will look into how I can get there :)
-
well i just text my mum and asked if she can take me and some others so if she says yes we can take you spud.
-
I'd be willing to do this, i should be able to get here even if tim doesnt come and give me a lift, i think i can afford the train
-
I'm game then :)
-
ill see if i can make it along to thins one, and maybe a few other ibz's
-
right, mum says that it will probably be alright but she not 100% sure yet, but she will probably want whoever we giving a lift to at mine so we can leave stright from there. but people can stay the saturday night at mine.
-
well im there im sure jack and alex will (not DK!?!??
only iof the weatherts ok and the grass is nice!
-
im sure if the wether is not so gd then we can steel the gym coz there will be things going on in the squash corts the main hall and the athletics track and as for insurance im not to sure atm i will ring Richard and ask about it and as hannah sed im sure my rents will let ppl have floor space on sat if they need to coz i can be like muuuuuum u know i dident do enythig for my birthday can i have a bbq and a load of ppl to stay and she will b like yer i spose thats ok :Pand as for your mum Sarah 1 stilt blates :P lol
-

Greggles
Mini Ellis
Spud ?
Sarah?
Toddy?
Hilly ?
Carl (and his Giraffe)
Alex ?
Jack ?
-
HELL YEAH! LISTS FTW! :spudT:
As for staying over places on the sat...it's not all that helpful. Getting home is the real issue if I catch the train and not go with sarah's mum altho, that actually leave me ina similar situation because I would still need to catch a bus and a train. My trains are not very frequent on a sunday and I think sarahs busses stop all together. So strangely, it might be better if I get a train..so at least I dont have to worry about getting from sarah's to the train station...
....and thats where the kebab shops are :D Kebab and a pizza for £6 FTW :D can never eat that much tho so take it home for the dog :D
If you could check with them about the insurance that would be great greggles..thankies :)
:spudT:
-
and if need be i may be able to bring loads of spair bocks (if i get them, )
-
mum cant take anyone no more. but i will be there ill just get the train and then walk home from norwich lol so i will be there
-
I cant really walk 11 miles..with bocks, at night, along the A47. So I will have to see...
-
you dont walk you bock it :Ctongue:
-
I need 2 check sunday trains, but i may end up needing a night or two with a place 2 stay, i think im on hols by then so it shud be alright 4 me i think... :Cnah:
-
if u guys want to stay on Sunday im sure i can get some of u to stay at mine
-

Guys i think that as this is an EA event as such and NOT A MEET i feel that bockers who are not an EA shouldnt be goin. Although we are'nt being paid we are doing it a favour towards the sports centre therefore keeping them and us on good terms, which could be considered payment, and lead to many more good oppurtunities, therefore i feel this sports fair is a chance for us EA's to promote US EA's. After a chat with a few other EA's we did strongly feel that this is an open window that we shouldn't miss out on.
I also feel Hannah shouldnt have gone ahead and made a list without first consulting me and Spud, this has lead to the the possibilites that NON EA's can attend, this is not the case however.
-
Me and carl talked about this yesterday and he made a really good point. This one should be for EAs only :) I'm not sure the EAs are totally ready for this stuff but lets go for it. Nothing to lose :)
There is still a lot of other stuff to be done. This is deffo a positive step in the right direction tho. We still need to sort out a club and PLI. If we are going to be doing a lot more stuff like this and get more gigs it's gonna become critical..woop
Anyhoo..We are the EAs. We are pretty random and chilled out and that will always be the same..but we are now actually taking some pride in the group we have. And I think we want to make something of it. Stand on our own 2 bocks and do it. We want to have a shot at doing some stuff for ourselves.
I am not sure if I am explaining it to well. But we need to do our thing. It's a proper event. Could be very positive and we just want it to be about us and for us. So basically. This is not an open event. We have a gym meet booked for previous week that people are welcome to come along to.
Hannah is ok. She didn't know. We have never done anything like this before so it's all totally new and we are all learning the whole time :) I think we need to have a quick chat about this kinda stuff sometime and work out whats what. Its hard when we are all so far apart but we can make the EAs really happen. And with all this positive stuff it's the right time too :)

you could borrow the roll mat thats in gregs garden from when, hily, tim(who does in fact know THAT sound anywhere), carl, me, greg and ed stayed over lol
Is that my roll mat?!
Also, i agree, i might have some things in the pipeline over the summer for us all as well =]
-

-
I acnt wait 4 this, i think its gonna be great! Are the new clothes gonna be ready by then by any chance?
-
Depends if i get the money by the 21st.
-
Does anyone know if culley can come to this, and if he isn't is there any chance of a norwich person picking up his T-rex springs and bringing them to bury? =]
-
I think he is on holiday at the states at the mo. I am not sure when he comes home...he might even be home already. Friday rings a bell. He has been online, but not much last few days so if I see him online I will ask...but if he is on holiday then cant get the springs...not even sure I can go yet
-
hes home today spoke earlier to him! :D
-
Ah cool, il try and talk to him, etc. =]
-
this is going to be great i'll try and get my back flips nice and tidy wait i think i should try them on grass first lol getting a bit a head of my self see u there
-
Hi all,
Has any one got a pair of 80kg springs for sale/swap. Kim is finding her 90kg springs are too stiff for her and is willing to swap.
We will both be at the gym this sunday.
Bob/Kimm
-
I have some 70's if she wants to try them out (only the springs tho) and gdgd but u do know its not a gym meet its a fair so we will b teaching etc and we will b outside but im gunna ring up agen tomoz coz they havent rung me yet ¬¬
-
Err, Does this mean it is not confirmed yet? I need to no asap details if I am going to go. Its a sunday. I cant just plan this in the morning or I am going to get stuck somewhere.
:spudT:
-
its confirmed we need to be there at 10:45
-
In that case sorry. I am not going to be able to make it. The earliest train I can get out of my village is 9.30. and it takes about 2 and half hours on a sat. I can only imagine it will take longer on a sunday.
Have fun
:spudT:
-
I can't get no transport either.. Have fun though :Csmile:
-
Ok, so the match report:
Bertie landed his first front flip, wahey!!! (and kinda a second one with slight help form me, but hey).
Alex can now lay out his backflips, looking sweet! Plus he landed 4 front flips.
Carl is Hot.
Craig landed some more fronts.
Greg is getting back to his old self, and landed a few fronts.
Paul was at work...fail.
Sarah has impressivly warped her stilts like hell.
Trixter is still recovering from a broken rip, which didn't stop him having a quick go...
Hannah and Greg had fun on the mats :p
Jack did some sweet split kicks and generally got his stilts stolen cos they are luverly.
Bobw and co. were getting more height than last week, fo sho.
I biranied out of a ditch =]
We must had had over 30 people try out stilts, and generally had an epic day, bring on Lincoln!
-
Wait a minuite Wait a minuite....
What happend to my backflips...FTW
-
Carl is Hot.
Yeah :D
Anyhoo..Glad to hear you guys had a great day :) I am so happy it went well! Well done!
It would be really good to have something on the website about it I think. If somebody would like to write something about the day (about 150 words) I can put it on the site :) I think it would be nice for people who went and tried could read about it too. i think people like that stuff :)
So if anybody could do it, it would be much appreciated. Carl did a fantastic job last week :) Somebody else want a turn this week?

Sarah has impressivly warped her stilts like hell.
