Its the easter holidays and i want to get bocking in Kingston(since its so awesome).
On this meetup were going to try to explore a bit more of Kingston instead of sticking around the Bentall Center.
I'm hoping most Surrey Springer members will join and perhaps a few others.
I would like to know what days would be best for you guys, i'm free for the next 2 weeks.
The Route:
- Gather at Kingston Train Station and wait for everyone to arrive.
- Head towards the Bentall Center going down Clarance street.
-Stay at the Bentall Center and Perform to the crowd!
-Head towards the Marketplace.
-Explore while sticking in a group.
-Go back to the Bentall Center area and head to the Mange Tout.
-Eat at the Mange Tout, paninis/wraps where are under £3(cheapest £2) and are buy one get one free, so you could split the money with someone and pay £1-£1.50 to get some lovely food.
-Go to the Bentall Center area and top up on sugar/drinks.
-Bock around the Bentall Center area and the Marketplace since its the best area in Kingston for bocking.
-Explore the area near the Bentall center and Marketplace.
-Bock at Old London road.
-Discuss what to do next(you decide!)
-Have fun!
Hopefully each meet-up will last 4 hours+.
We will probably start at 12:00-100 and end at 5:00 or longer if theres people still wanting to bock!
I think we should aim to do 2 meetup's in the space of the next 2 weeks, each meetup will be on Friday or another more preferable date.
Sorry for my terrible spelling/grammar but I'm busy and don't have time to make this like an essay.
So who wants to participate in the 2 weeks of fun!?

i'm around, so a maybe, will be starting revision tomorrow though, so might only make one, or whatever
anything else happening? i've been out the loop for a week
-
Do you fancy doing one on the Saturday as Clive and I can only get away on the Saturday
Having said that is Kingston to busy on a Saturday if so any other options
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Only reason why i wasn't going to do it on saturday is because it is pretty busy, but i could probably change it to that.
We did have a meet up on a busy Sunday and it was fine as everyone cleared a space for you and there are some good, non-busy places to bock.
-
Clives gym/hall!!
-
Have to check with Clive on that one Fysh (depends if anything is booked)
If there are quiet areas in Kingston that should be cool but bocking in the busy areas is a sure way to get a ban and we don't want to get banned from there as it's to good to lose
Staines is always busy on a Saturday I don't know what Hampton ct is like on a Sat (lots of fun but very limited bocking areas)
Any other local thoughts
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Kiwi's Gym/Hall!!
-
I really want to do this one in Kingston though!
So far ive been in 2 large meetups in Kingston on Sunday/Saturday and it was fine, most people seemed to like us and we even got to walk into stores with no hassle.
The police there seem to have a liking towards us.
We also didnt have any trouble with the crowd, and there pleanty of large quite places.
-
Hey well, Im up for it ... Ill defo let you know before the end of this week ....
Just let me know where the meet def is (Id rather be out doors, its more fun that way) :Cyes:
-
As the thread title says, Kingston.
Unless anyone wwants otherwise, but i think Kingston would be best for everyone
-
Bump so we can get more people attending :Claugh:
-

Whos coming so far:

-
Hey there. Im a bit worried about travelling with my springs ..... how would you guys suggest carrying them in transport???
I have bought a carry bag for them .. just hoping that itll come in the post by friday :Cswoon:
-
carrying just the springs? or the whole bocks
most people just seem to hook them on our shoulders and walk onto the train like normal
-
Yea sorry i ment the whole bocks :Claugh:
I will have to try and work out something if i dont get my bag ...
-

:Cbiggrin:
-
trainline links don't work like that :P
and just carry them in your hands, assuming you're not bringing much, i tend to bring me, phone/wallet etc, and bocking gear, that i wear all of it. gets kinda cold going back as i never bring a jumper, but such is life
-
poop sorry about the link ... didnt realise it times out :Cerr: Guess all ya need to know really is that ill be there at 12:09
how long does it take you to get to kingston?
I will be traveling for 2 hours --- :(
which will be kinda sucky carrying bocks from train to tube to train ... hope im not too tired to bock b4 i get there! :CSLEEP:
-
ouch, that's not a nice trip, i've got guildford-surbiton, then bus from surbiton-kingston...dam engineering works
-
Sorry folk can't make this one work calls but Clive and I are meeting up at the School on Saturday
So if any of you survive Kingston your welcome to join us :Claugh:
Have fun and don't frighten the locals :Cbiggrin:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Hmm... Should be able to get to the bock meet on Saturday...
Weather is not looking good for Friday :Ccry:
Forecast is heavy rain:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/4296?&search=kingston&pageSize=10®ion=uk&area=Kingston
All we can do is hope... Or go inside somewhere *wink wink* ^^
-
oh yuck, you're supposed to check the weather before you decide on a date
whatever happens i'll be doing a maximum of 1 meet a week, so might be able to come to the school...though i was quite clostrophobic(sp?) inside last time, too much stuff to bash into
-
how annoying :(
on every website it says rain for friday :Ccry:
wheres the school meet on saturday at?
-
Don't think we'll be inside this time Garf think we are meeting in the car park so long as the weather is good and maybe an excursion to feltham if we all feel like it
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
well looks lie the weather'll be crap put nicely, so see what it's like on friday morning
-
Still planning to do the meet, if it actually does rain so bad that we cant bock we might do the meet on sunday instead.
-
noooooooo not sunday i cant do sundays
oh bugger blown my covert opps to bock crash the meet with a few other ibz's :Cmask:
-
O.o! we were gonna have a surprise mcdonalds trip? :Claugh:
-
well if you insist
-
heh well if it's a nice day why not, we can all laugh at people trying to go up and down teh stairs like last time i was there XD
-
Not McDonalds! I tripped on the stairs lol and almost died!
:Cnah: I think I'll stay out side..
-
shall we all meet up on the chat friday morning and discuss whats happening? That def helped clear up confusion the other night.
:Becky:
-
Looking at the MET office fforecast it isnt going to be that bad, theres going to be light rain but only heavy rain at night:
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/kingston_upon_thames_forecast_weather.html
The wind speeds are lower than today and it still reports good visibility.
-
Yea, Saturday and Sunday are looking better .... sunday looking the best ....
im just a bit worried as i dont want to travel for 2 hours through london and out and find out that no-ones showed due to the weather :Cfrown:
-
well join the club
if i get there with a few other ibz's and no one is there we will still bock :Nero:
-
Hey/.
-Been away, but just noticed this event. I've gone back to Glasto' currently, 'til the end of the month unfortunately. Final bits at Uni really starting to kick in, so won't be bocking for a bit unfortunately.
I'd say second half of May is more probably for me. Have a decent bock, wherever you lot end up going.
Will keep posted in due course...
Ciao
-
I'm still going to go, the met office forcast only shows light rain for when we will be there.
-
well im gonna turn up anyway.. ill bring two massive brollies! one purple and white one with massive DFS logo LOL and another dunlop one... just thought id tell you haha. :D
well thats myself, bio, the meet crashers (i.e the ibz) that are willing to bock in the rain..
which reminds me last time i bocked in the rain i make a total a$$ of myself by falling right infront of a packed hair salon.... :s good fun tho..
-
i don't mind the rain especially, it'd just be a whole day of not bocking as hard as i'd like, that i could use for getting revision done etc, look salmost nice outside atm, but see what happens
oh and my ear hurts, though i can hear through it now at least
-
thats not so bad.. and im sure that you can spare a couple of ours just to much about. come on!!
-
I can come for sure, I have to leave at 3:30 though because I have an IT class at 5:00 in Ealing so I have to get back before then :Ccry:, at least I can come :Ctongue:
Lawrence
-

-
I've found a chip in my springs, but its not bad enough that i wont be able to bock with them!
I just thought of a motto:

Lawrence
-

-
Glad you lot had fun yesterday
Sorry to say the Staines meet is off due to the rain and there being no real shelter in Staines so it's a waste of time
Maybe do something tomorrow or monday if the weather improves
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Aww... Fair enough.. :(
Can't make it to any meets next week because I'll be in *sunny* Cornwall from Monday - Thursday!
Lawrence
-

And it wasnt too difficult getting to kingston.

Nice meetin u all ...
-
@fysh: you should put up a bocking meet in cornwall, unless it's for some kind of family/residential course-ey type thing where bocks wou;dn't be allowed
-
@fysh: you should put up a bocking meet in cornwall, unless it's for some kind of family/residential course-ey type thing where bocks wou;dn't be allowed
Are there any groups in Cornwall?
-
http://www.bockerlocator.com/#/bockergroups/4529118174
wherever cornwall is on there, looks like the riser raptors would be closest, was just a thought :D
-
So Im anxious to know if theres any meets happining tomarrow or monday?? :Cnotworthy:
-
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/se/guildford_forecast_weather.html
tomorrow looks nice here, and monday looks like today did, which is crap
so if anyone can make to guildford tomorrow i'm in (not like i'm going anywhere else XD)
edit: and probably something happening on wednesday, was in the kentish area
-
hhmm .. guildford? that looks a bit of a trek :Cwideeyed: what about a meet up a bit closer to london?? :Cwink:
-
uhmm, i would say lets head to picadilly, so we can have some fun at the troc while we're there :D
but is tomorrow a bank holiday? maybe not open? i dunno

-
yea, well we could go and see if the troc is open, if its not then we cud just bock around london....
:Csmile:
-

-
Hi folks
Hope you all enjoyed yourselves in London today
Tomorrow (Monday 13th) I'm gonna be in staines from 12/12-30 at the river of the courage steps so if any of you fancy a meet up be there
Clive is coming to (I think ) and we normally go on till 3 ish (I have to leave at 2-40) but you can carry on as long as you like or are able :Claugh:
Anyone coming to the station call me just before you arrive and I'll either walk down and meet you half way or give you directions
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
oh that's so tempting, but think i'll miss it, else i'll have a whole week of nothing but bocking meets or something
that and my dodgy bushing is horrible now, had it all nicely packed in and araldyted last week, jason, your method works quite well...at first
glue cracked somehow, and the holes in the frames must've gotten bigger or something, there's quite a lot of movement on the joint now, so need ot replace them before i do anything serious to them, probably just use PJ bushings as they're stupidly cheap
-
lol .... yes me and darf had a brillant time ..... bocking through london to the trocodero and doing extreme ddr (well darf did, showoff got quite a big crowd going at some point! he is good thou) ..... and then bocking back...
we should have been charging all those people taking photos of us .... :Ctongue:
Sorry lynch, wish you could have come also ... me and darf just thought it was too short notice .... I only found out early this morning .....
torn between two meets now for tomarrow .... hhmmmm
-
:D i'm not good, wouldn't make it past the first round of the Uk championships, even if i tried, better than most though, but most didn't spend a whole year of college in an arcade
-
Who wants to do 2 Kingston meets, 1 onn Thurs and one on Saturday?
-
mee possibly on saturday :Cyes:
-
Im bumpin this thread to see if anyone wants to come out this weekend to kingston :Cyes:
-
Hampton court Sunday 12-30 or earlier if you want but Clive and I should make it there by 12-30 we normally hang around the bridge area you get a lot of crowds and there are a couple of good steps
See you there
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Great day folks was nice to see you all there Hampton ct is good fun due to the crowds but not much to do there
Bio you just vanished we were worried you had been abducted by Aliens :Claugh:
Bexx hope your front doesn't hurt to much, that was one good front slap Clive has suggested we all get together for a jumping lesson with mats (might give us all more confidence)
Clive falling over the shop sign was classic I think everyone there got some of his drink as he went (i know I did :Claugh:) hope the shin feels better now mate
And to cap it all I started getting dizzy and nauseous on the way home later and both Clive and my wife recon it was to much sun (very mild heat exhaustion) so all be warned the summer is here drink lots and don't overdo it
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
