Hellooo, I'm in Newbury and if I can bring a friend :P They don't have stilts but will borrow mine.
-
oooo its like 'blinnd date' but on bocks ' well cilla im from leamington spa and ive got a bouncy personality.....' :Claugh:
-
rawrk,
would you like to arrange a meet in Newbury or Reading for next weekend?
I will post a official meet with all details, when we've ironed out all the details. (date, location and time) etc
:Ctongue: Q tish not a date, just Bocking ;)
-
no but ' lorra lorra laffs' :Cyes:
-
Oooh goodie
Reading is within striking distance of me and recently bocking has been a very hit and miss affair due to sickness/injury/work
Have you thought of a venue yet Gizmoqueen ? I don't know Reading at all are there some good spots ?
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Jason-I don't know Reading too well and still need to sort meet details with Rawrk
Rawrk-do you or friend know any good bock spots :Straddle5: in Reading? :CGEEK:
-
if its a sunday i just mite get in car un possibly get a passenger or 2 as long as know weather/ground is OK
as chatted to katie any1 checked out the area around the oracle centre in reading?
-
Who can make next Sunday in Reading?
-
ya askin?
-
yeah i'm askin
Q- if you and a few other could make it- thats a start
-
I don't know of any to hand, though I'm sure we could find some. My stilts haven't actually arrived yet due to snow ); so I might have to wait for a while.
But it sounds good if I get them today/tomorrow. :]
-
also keep an eye on weather. looks likevwind is going to b turning northerly and things getting colder again....dare i mention the 'S' word?
-
The weather forecast for Sunday is Partly cloudy, temp 4 c and 10% chance of rain. May snow In Reading this Friday.
Will keep you all informed of any changes :CGEEK:
Assuming the the weather OK, Would people like to meet around 1pm @ the main train station and move on from there
-
Can I have names of people who think they might make this meet?
So far the only confirmed attendee is moi (please don't make me be a billy-no-mates) :Ctongue:
-
this sunday? very possibly maybe, if i have any non destroyed hooves around
-
erm why do you need a none destroyed hoover?
sorry very tired, it's been a long week,
my brain tends to develop a few glitches in the evening...
I have a spare set of Pro-jump hooves if that's any help?
-
jason and i will be there and allso my daughter hollie :Cyes:
-
Great :Cbiggrin:
People coming:ME
Jason
Clive and daughter Hollie
Q (maybe)
Rawrk (maybe)
Darfgarf (maybe)
Shout out any suggestions of 'bock spots' in Reading
-
oh well if jasons definately coming, i'll send a pm and see if he can bring hoofies :D
-
katy text me your post code again thanks :Straddle5:
-
I might come, I have rifle shooting at 11 so it would mean a rush from Richmond to Reading.
I'll attempt to come as long as the meet will last more than 3-4 hours!
-
BIO-I can bock till late evening, you're have to ask everyone how long they want to stay out
-
OK We're all meeting @ 1pm - Reading train station
here a map & postcode for those who need it
http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/reading/transport/1013f8j/reading-railway-station (http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/reading/transport/1013f8j/reading-railway-station)
any problems just PM me and I'll do my best to help :Cyes:
Cant wait for this meet guys!!
-
well jason and i will stay untill about 5or 6 wether being ok :Cyes:
-
I may well come to this one plus Sammy, There are quite a few spots that could be good around the town, Broad street and Queen Victoria st are pedestrianised. Also around the Butter market and Forbury Gardens are worth a look. I dont suppose they will allow bocking in the Oracle. Round by the Hexagon may be good too.
I'll also let my brother in law know he may well be up for it as he lives in Reading.
-
so what time are we starting? and can it be somewhere newr the station, if some kind soul can't swing by and grab me on the way that is :D
-
I can come, but I still don't have my stilts. So I'll just be watching.
And yeah, I'd be at the railway station too, if we could start off there?
-
I'll be there with Rach. Cheers Q
-
Just to clarify :CGEEK:
The meet is starting at 1 pm
We're all meeting at Reading train station ( not reading west station) map and postcode included in my previous posts..
and does anyone have a spare pair of stilts rawrk could borrow?
PM reading Parkour team (SilentMotion) for advise on bock spots. There a skate park near the by and it had free parking available on Sundays -just waiting to find out the postcode
-
just spoken to my Brother in Law, he's coming and he's going to ask his mate aswell.
-
its great to see so many want to come along
THANKS :thumbs:
-
got to be the way your eye sparkles as your behind the wheel lol looks like this is going to be a good meet :Cyes:
-

its gonna be a wee bit chilly, I suggest everyone wraps up warm..... erm maybe buy some thermal undies
-
As long as it's not wet I'm fine!
-
I can make it, at work now though so will reply properly when i get home.
-
Looking forward to it, should be a great one. I have a spare set of bocks if any one want to use them tomorrow, I dont have any spare pads tho, so if some one can help, that would be great.
-
Rob- I can bring some spare pads, no worries
-
i'm out, replacement bus services, shortest journey would be 1.5 hours, and total hell in traffic XD
so yeah another time maybe
-
So how will I know who is who? I might end up wandering around like an idiot for a few hours :P
I will see you guys at one tomorrow then, thanks to everyone (if anyone) who are bringing spare stilts/pads, etc.
