after people showed an interest in a Cardiff meet in the CB2010 thread I am now talking to the council about finding a day when the oval basin in cardiff does not have a festival or function so we can have a bocking meet.
What I need to know is.....
- Does this have to be on a weekend?
- If it does, what day is best?
- How many are thinking of coming?
It cannot be Aug 7th, 14th or 22nd.
At the moment I am thinking Aug 21st. The weekend after that is bank holiday and i know there is a festival already in the basin that weekend.
-
21st August is good for me :)
Let me know if you need a hand organising anything for this
-
That seems like a good day to me also :)
-
Sounds sweet, I'm up for it and I'm sure a few more EA's will be too.
-
21st is good for me too! :Cyes:
Providing I we can fill a car with NEWC's we'll come (Diesel is so expensive!) Probable about 4 or 5 of us. If its in the week I think to many of the guys will be in work to make a trip south viable.
-
I'll see if some of the members of Sky High can come down, hopefully will be an epic meet (Y)
-
Before people go mad putting dates in their diary please wait until I hear back from cardiff council.
I'm not sure how long it takes them to look in a diary but I'll give them until tomorrow :)
-
arr see the possibility of a good meet is like drops of blood in shark infested waters! :Claugh:
-
The person responsible for the diary is away until next week but I'm told unofficially there is nothing booked that day (21st)
-
You know I'm in. I'm on call on the 20th so don't finish work until 5pm on the 21st, so I'll just do the same as I did in May and drive up after work.:Csmile:
-
Looks like you're staying over then. Hope I've not moved by then!

I love the way it's automatically decided i'm staying :Claugh:
-
Might see if a few of us from Hants/Berkshire area can make it up...Any cheap B&B's you can recommend ???
or fail that a camp-site.
-

-
Well if you and Jason are going,,,you can deffo count me in :Cbiggrin:
-

-
Any cheap B+B's or hotels in the area? :Nero:
-
I'm tempted to go but my mum would go mental driving that distance.

Get the train then. You're close to London, take the underground to Paddington then it's 2-3hrs to Cardiff Central, no changes at all :Csmile:
-
This is turning into CB08 all over again.
Even my hair is falling out again!
-
Do you have hair to loose?
-
Yeah I have a full head of hair. I just keep it shorter than 5mm because I'm worth it :)
-
hahaha - we're all worth it.
And it saves on hair products :)
-

Yay!!!!

-

Probably cheaper than the fuel to drive down though
-
I'd like to try to come to this. Haven't had the stilts on since WFL, so need to give them a good service first.
Wouldn't stay, as I'm off to V Festival on Sunday 22nd.
-
ahh, Nero and I are working on the 21st so sadly can't come
-
I really hope this meet goes ahead----love bocking in new places and meeting new faces (no matter how strange they may be).
-
Ooo you think you have met strange people :P you have not met all the Riser Raptors yet :P
-
hehe i think if unfortunaly i still am using current stilts advise people to bring ear plugs to block out mah squeaking :P
i was very unpopular at WFL2010 lol
-
Deffinatly here with a few other Ea's i expect
-
Well I have some bad news. Cardiff Council have got back to me and confirm that the 21st the whole basin is being used exclusively for an event which means it will probably be completely fenced off. There are no weekends in august when it is free either :(
So I dont know where that leaves things really. I can try for a weekday but I know that significantly reduces options for people.
-
Oh No! :Ccry:
Was so looking forward to that! What about a weekend in Sep? :Cfrown:
-
Yo Snud, you still fancy goin Cardiff on that day for a bock n just bounce in the city centre? Cus I got it off work now so I'm definately goin Cardiff that weekend, especially seein as theres this FIT bird sharing my hotel room with me ;D
-
The council have told me the next weekend that is free in the oval basin (at the moment) is October 9th and 10th.
-
I'm in. :Csmile:
-
i'll be definatly up for that , as i'll be moved into mah student flat by then :D in bristol
-
9th & 10th does it for me. :Cyes:
I feel a NEWClear movement coming on :Ctwitcy:
I'll spread the word amoung the Gogs.
-
ok we'll go with that :) not exactly a summer meet anymore but october it is.
Someone book the weather.
It is unlikely an event will be booked in october so the basin area should remain clear but I will check again with the council closer to the date.
Those wanting to come to cardiff during the summer, note that although the oval basin may be fanced off (often its not because the events are generally open to public) there is still plenty of room outside the basin to bock. Just check some of the CB08 videos.
-
Hey Locky is a gym available :P because weather around that time of year is not the best :S
-
Sounds good to me, it's pretty soon after I start uni again but I'm sure I can make it down :)
Is this gonna be both saturday and sunday?
-
Ill try make it down, would love to meet everyone.
-
Sunday Please! :Cnotworthy:
We can't do the Saturday. Scouting commitments!
-
There is a good chance i can come down and help out & take pics & such.....
-
Seems like it is defiantly in Cardiff now :P are we doing this instead of CB or are we going to London for that?

Hey folks,
I have been out the country and stuff for a little while and just got back to this. I would love to come to Cardiff on 21st however its my dad's 60th so doubt I can make it.
I'll have to catch up with you all at some other point.
speak soon,
Mark
-
Hey DC
are the Riser Raptors going to this as it's th weekend after my bday and I have only ever stilted in Plymouth and would like to go to other places please say we
-
Is this still on ??
-
I dont see why not. We went bocking yesterday and there were no festivals or events in the basin, despite the council telling me it was booked out until october.
As long as people want to come and the weather looks good then it's fine.
-
So is there a set date for this? i wanna come down but need a date so i can book it off work
-
I get the feeling that this ain't gunna happen for the main reason
What is the date for this ?
-
October the 9th and 10th were the dates I was told the basin was free but we were there last weekend and it was really nice with no events and hardly any public. Made a refreshing change.
There isnt really any organising here, so if you wanna come then come and if you'd all rather make a different date then discuss it here and lets make a collective decision.
-
im free on those dates.
