Hi all...
There weather looks good for Saturday, so thought I'd tried to organise a meet in Basingstoke once again.
I have a driving lesson in the morning so can't start the meet till 2pm.
The plan is the same as before- Meet at Eastrop Park for 2pm (link to address below)
I can meet people travelling by train at the station, if needed.

Hi All,
Newbie old dude here. Was thinking of maybe coming along if it's ok to pick up some tips and watch the skills on display.
Got some stilts before Xmas, but only had them on once, so keen to learn.
Expecting some Grandad comments, but never to late to try new things I say. :Cbiggrin:
Graham.
-
i'm in, assuming trains are half-working, and i'm still free
-
come along graham....un dont worrry, darfgarf is a bit of a grey beard himself un i consider u a youngster
-
yep all are welcome regardless of skill level, age, race, gender or creed
:)
Its the first meet in Basingstoke...so no idea of numbers or even people with like bocking round my area
I'll just have to wait and see
-
New around here and interested in starting up this interesting activity... :P
I'm over in Reading, I havent got any stilts yet but I may pop down and have a good old look at the skills on display!
-
I can't do the 27th but can do the Saturday after which is the 6th March. Sorry, I'm so complicated );
-
no worries Rawk
Perhaps we should organise a few meets in Newbury soon????
oh was it stilts spotted at Newbury College?
-
Hah, yeah, they'd be mine :P
-
hey spawnb, there are some of us bockers that are older im 48 jason has hit big 50 so dont wory :Ctwitcy:
-
might be able to come to this depends on if i get the cars done in time!!!!!
-
Not to be a killjoy but have you looked at the weather forcast for the weekend
Severe weather warning :Claugh: the pics I saw looked more like a hurricane
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
It's meant to snow really hard in Newbury on Sun so I'm assuming it'll be like that in Basingstoke.
-
says snow here in guildford aswell, gotta love the british weather :Claugh:
-
mmmm is this so? i fear i mayb thinkin twice redrivin especially as i hav no map reader at mo
-
Indeed. It's about hour and a half drive for me, so knowing what its like before i set off would be useful.
-
4cast on bbc is rain :o(
-
Maybe I should look at arranging a Gym meet instead.
-
erll i got navigator now so just need 2 know weather in morn
-
Not impressed with the weather Report grrr ...
I think I'm going to have to call this meet off . :-(
THIRD time lucky might be the case with this meet
-
lot peeps travelling, i think u rite.
maybe team up with james to workout somat for bas or brack next w/e
Also, a quick flag-up to thinking of some 'loose' co ordination between clubs un individuals in the south un south east
Just think folks un PM me if u reccon its worth a properpost.
There r a fair few peeps now who r willing and enjoy travelling around to meets all over the area. Especially if it helps new areas and people. And most of us want to meet other bockers see other spots and go to 'big' meets.
But there is a limit to time energy and money. So which one/ones to choose?
Might it be an idea , for after Easter, for each club to have 'headline' event in turn ,1 a month. Peeps would know ,if they wanna travel 'this is the event'. There would also be a gentlemans/ladies agreement from other clubs ,that whilst they might be running events at same, they woudnt run gym events or really 'push' things.
Id be thinking of aiming for most people not having to drive for more than 7-80 min ( excluding any urban conjestion) and many less
Un this is just a ruff idea but
March Southampton ( sports aid) ---OK I know this is b4 easter but its around already
April ( l8 well after easter) Reading
May Portsmouth, beach front Bock...1 of the bank hols and b4 the roads get really busy
June London 'Walk for Life' Again its already in many peeps diaries
July Another Thames Valley Town or Kent
August London again...assuming SW trains does the same offer as last year of £10 return anywhere at w/e's
Sept Kent or Thames Valley town
No great organisation, these event will b happening anyways. its just others in adjacent areas giving support.
-
Planning Big Bock events Is a good idea
I think you forgot Halloween London meet off your list
-
nah. I was just doing Summer :Csmile:.
But more 'medium' sized meets and by maximizing numbers. Nowt big or complex. But now re looking at the list, if peeps like, they r all 'different'
At mo, there r a load of peeps who got stilts for christmas, just got the hang of um and desperatly want company, any company but NOWWWWW. :Cyes:
Well kewl, bring that on for a month -6 weeks, along with (hopefuly) the last of the snow. But with a goal of a small amount of structure in the South East behond that
-
Is this meet definately cancelled? The weather doesnt look too bad at the moment?
-
edit: nevermind
-
We could try again the weekend after :P
-
just to clarify- this meet deffo cancelled
The weather don't want to make it mind up today
One moment the sun out, then you blink and its raining again!!!
I'm going to stick too worrying about my driving lesson till the test date (early April) after that...will put my efforts back into sortin some meets in the North hants / Berkshire areas...
Also took my stilts apart to, so I could fit them in my suitcase ...havin a nervous brake down ,reassembling (LOST A BUSH) :Cconfused:
'I think this calls for a tea brake..and a rethink'
-
isn't it James meet next weekend in Bracknell?
-
I have no idea. *wanders off to look*
