Bit of a strange question but does anyone who's coming have 9st junior pjs? It's just my parents both had a go today and my dad was fine on mine but my mum found the bocks too heavy. She sort of wants to get into them and I thought I could bring her along to the gym and maybe someone would have let her borrow theirs for a while.
-
What about Wiillz and HalfRubbish? Did we ever hear from them again? ???
We need more ppl !!! :banana:

To be honest, we all found them heavy to start with. Juniors wouldn't be the best idea I would think. She's welcome to try my 60's? They are everso broken in too

-
It is 4 Joe, Ash is now coming, if you had read the JJ thread you would know. :P
I thought you were joking about the disney music for the trip. I think I might have to bring my ear defenders along with me for some peace and quiet.
-
whys it a fiver each theres like 20 ppl goin gyms dont cost that much thats like £100 for a gym for 3 hours slightly OTT i think
-
Not sure If I will be there now people, my nan has gone into hospital and is in a bad way, so going to go and see her sat and sunday, might still come down though, we shall see.
-
Charging a fiver isnt my idea persay, more ideas from other Bockers. This is due to us trying to raise funds for our group, and several great projects in the pipeline which would be a good addition for all Bockers local to us. I understand why if people refused to pay, as it's something I would ask questions about myself, but a fiver really isn't that much money, and if one person said no, that means we couldn't charge anyone a fiver. Not to mention if someone not from the IBz came every week and refused to pay, funding these projects will be impossible. But to be honest, I don't really care whatever way.

AGREED. With the JJ gym sessions when there's only 4 of us it still only works out as £4 each.
but a fiver really isn't that much money
Try living on a student loan and working a 40 hour week for no money at all, for your work or the transport either way.
I will pay for my share of hiring the hall, etc, but I think a £5 is too much for the number of people there...
-
Looks like I will not be there, due to me coming back to essex on sunday, and problems at home

-Carma
Whoes idea was it then? Some1 must own it.
I got an invite to this event.
To now find Im being asked to subsdise some un specified, future event that has nothing to do with me and which i wouldnt have been aware of unless some1 had asked about the funding levels, is to be honest a little bothersome.
-
I don't mind paying my way for the cost of the gym hire, but thats it. I also agree with Bbmthbloke, why should others, who will not see the "profit" to be made from this hve to pay towards? Heck I'll pay the JJ's fee as they've made the effort to come down and see us, let alone ask them to pay towards a fund! Especialy as no one knows what this fund is even for!
-
im just intrested in these feauture events that i totaly know nothing about dispite being an IB...
lets not make this a gang up on carma session or ne one else for that matter, but who did create the whole £5 thingy? cos it cost les than that last time methinks, although i must admit i cant reber...
also if there is a bank account, then the ibs need to see some accounts and i belive it starts entering the grey area in which there needs to be an agm ect...
but dont quote me on that
am still comming on sat and am looking forward to it nomatter what i end up paying ;DI don't mind paying my way for the cost of the gym hire, but thats it. I also agree with Bbmthbloke, why should others, who will not see the "profit" to be made from this hve to pay towards? Heck I'll pay the JJ's fee as they've made the effort to come down and see us, let alone ask them to pay towards a fund! Especialy as no one knows what this fund is even for!
also agree with the above ;D methinks we should be an non proffit group...
-
I'm not blaming anyone, kinda just wish i was a little more informed as to what I'm paying towards. It'd be nice to see where money is going. Also everyone should have to choice to pay it, if you dont pay, then you dont get the benefits, rather than making everyone chip in to something they arent going to benefit from
-
ok im not on any side here as im traveling up just to meet new bocker i havnt seen before and have a good time.
Im happy to pay my share for the gym as i would expect anyone attending it as its just courtesy.
so i dont know about the rest of you but how we do it at the jj gym is see how many people come and split the costs. happy days.
so i say lets not play the blame games and scrap the 5 pound rules and just split the price everyones happy. and if anyone want to pay a little more let them.
thats all im going to say
rancher out. :thumbs:

Just to put my two penneths worth in (or fivers worth in this case :biggrin:)
I am normally fairly flush when it comes to money (the wife holds the purse strings thank god :biggrin:)
Now I have no objection to paying whatever the going cost is and that should be set by the club holding the meet and if what is spare goes to something for the club or sport so be it
That is my opinion and at my time of life £5 is not a lot but I can also understand that a lot of you folks are students or just starting out in jobs and money can get tight so for a lot of people the cost of traveling to a meet and then £5 on top would be the decider as to which meets you attend
Now the Essex Gym cost £1 due to the high attendance (at first I was told £2 and when lots turned up they dropped it to £1) I do understand why the Invicta Bockerz are charging but think you are going to drive a lot of the less wealthy Bockers away from gym meets (and a lot of the really skillfull Bockers are in that catagory)
So if moneys short and you can save £4 I think I can guess where all the bockers will be
The result could be that people won't come, after all it costs a fair bit to travel now days, I know it will cost Clive and I £30 in fuel so the JJ's must be paying a lot to just to get there and then to be hit like this do you think they will come again ?
Dosen't really matter to me what is charged on the day I know I will enjoy it but it would be nice if it happened again and judging by the amount of feeling against the set fee I am seeing here I think I am in the minority (opinion wise)
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
Ok first of all the £5 set fee was my idea.
Why?
Because we're a small group, & hiring our gym for 3 hours costs 6 people £5.10 each. It's not the cheapest gym but it's close to most of the IBz and it is a nice facility.
So, I've basically been subsidising the IBz so that we can have these gym meets, and no im not incredibly out of pocket, a couple of pounds at the most across all the sessions we've had thus far, but nonetheless it has required a subsidy.
The IBz agreed that, should our numbers increase, we would keep the amount that we usually have to pay the same, and any extra revenue earned from the gyms would go towards actively promoting the sport (through local promotion of IBz, etc).
Of course, the members of any other groups have not made the same agreements/commitments that we have to having the IBz gym. However if we hadn't done so we wouldn't have it and therefore wouldn't have a venue for this meet. That should be appreciated.
On the other side of the coin, why should you subsidise or otherwise help give revenue to a group that you do not belong to? Not for any other reasons than A). you want to use their facility or B). you agree with what the revenue is going to be used for (i.e. promotion of an otherwise niche sport, although part of me thinks that most participants actually prefer it that way).
Now, I'm open to lowering the charge based upon more attendees. Great, because I have to pay less myself too.
It will be a flat rate of £2. If 16 or more people turn up we've covered costs. If not then it looks like I'm subsidising again. At no time has it ever been anyone's intention to fleece anyone else; the demanding tone taken by some of the posters was neither necessary nor appreciated.
-
:banana: in regards to what you have said opel i never wanted to be part of the funding account thing that was set by lets say the moderators of the group.... its a lot of profit made if all payed the 5bills so i think all people are saying is, its done diffrently in the ibz as at there gym meets they split the hole cost of the gym equaly and fairly with no set price its worked out on how many turn out that way there is no subsadising needed by any one person.....
that said dont think i can make it as i had a car accident yesterday but i will keep you guys posted and let you all know....
-
To be honest, I was always a little concerned about the larger scale funding of the IBz, and always took a back stand on it. But I do want to add that Opal does an amazing job every week, and much to my dismay, has to pay FAR too much out of his own pocket. I still think everyone should pay their cut of the gym and no way should Opal pay for any of it himself. I threw the whole 'all attendees are to pay £5' thing merely to judge the reactions of people, and I knew these problem would occur which is why I was always concerned about the set fee's. I do say now however, that everyone is to pay their percentage of the cost of the gym, and Opal shall not be paying for any of it out of his own pocket (something I have always hating him doing). We (the moderators) shall re-address this issue as every meet is likely that someone from outside the IBz will attend and I always have very much an all or nothing stance.
Hope that cleared things up for everyone. Also, a little more faith from our own existing members would be nice, considering we was going to outline our plans to you all this weekend.
-Carma

As someone from outside the group looking in could i make a few observations
In most other sports club members pay an annual or monthly subscription and in most cases then pay for the facility when used.
A number of you talk about "profit" as a very dirty word. However when the event makes a "loss" you allow someone else to pay the bill.
Most events (and clubs) to run long term need to make more money than the costs. This allows the development of a contingency fund which ensures no one is out of pocket if numbers are low for a few weeks. Also a contingency fund can be used to provide money to buy extra equipment, and used when making funding bids.
If you are going to bid for money via Awards4All or Sports match you must have money in the bank to support your ideas.
Finally a not for profit organisation can and should make money on what it does, the only difference is that the "profit" is re-invested in what the organisation does, not given as a dividend to share holders.

Smile Carma/Opal ;D ;D ;D
i didnt realise, Opal, that you were out of pocket on these gym meets.... that shouldnt be happening.... :-\
Carma your doing a great job at organising the IBz keep up the good work... :biggrin: seeing as without you probs nothing would happen im glad you do it
I cant wait to here the oultines of the plans this tomorow... also good point Charlie B
ps. sorry if i sounded a bit p**sy in some other posts... exam stress.
pps looking forward to seeing you all on sunday
:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Thank you all for understanding this, I guess we are all still getting to grips with problems and peoples situations. We never do anything for ourselves, and still are a not-for-profit organisation. Seeing as ALL profit goes back into the group, I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER way. All the organisers have put it money and funding from their own pockets without ever expecting it back, but I feel we don't need to anymore. We will discuss our ideas with the IBz tomorrow, seeing as most of you will be there.
Can't wait, and a special thank you to the IBz for their patients and understanding on the situation. And of course to the other groups.
-Carma (The Bocking Rocker)

Well said Charlie B,
As far as I know the IBs are trying to raise money for things for the IBs. I think transport is one of the things on the list. I would be happy at this beiing they way things run. £5 is a small price to pay and you will see the benifits in the future... I go to a circus thing on wed. You pay a couple of quid every week and it is usally an hour. If enough people come to cover the cost of more time there then thats what they do. Any other spare cash goes in a fund which pays for the quiet weeks and also to pay for things that the users want. I love how this works and I dont like seeing people pocketing my money.
Opal. You really shouldnt be paying for things out of your pocket its unfair. And look at it from this way. If you keep allowing this to happen it will be more of a struggle to get the IBs standing on there own feet.
However hard it is you need to get things working right from the start or it gets harder in the long run. Each person should be paying their fair share of the cost and shouldnt mind either. It will benifit you all in long run and sooner you are standing on your own feet the sooner the sport can develop and equipment and things will be better for you.
The idea needs to be self sufficiant and although the meets are good fun...I hope you guys see where I am coming from. I cant expalin well but our old flying club tresurer paid insurance out of his own pocket and it caused us big problems after. We thought we were doing well but really we wernt and after. It was a struggle. Now we make a small amount of profit and have had parachutes repaired and all sorts and we had fun raising money on the way. Things like having BBQs at £3 a head raised a small amount every time.
I hope I dont sound like an idiot.
:spudT:

There’s a lot of points raised here but this is the way I see it...
Firstly if the Invicta’s are raising funds for various ventures and all the IBz are happy to pay a little extra to fund these projects then fair enough, I think it’s a great way to raise the little extra to cover for the times where funds are short and things need doing etc...
I know of some of the plans that the IB’z are hoping to go ahead with, and in the long run is going to help the IBz as a whole group and set the foundations for you to become stronger, I’ve heard no plans from any of the IBz which are solely for the benefit of one or two people, all the plans are for you all.
The biggest problem I see with the group is actually something that would go away with a little communication. You are all adults, and if you are having discussions then why not involve all your members, sound out ideas when you are together in person or all together in a chat room or msn convo when all members can participate, and in this sort of situation when it’s just the IBz you should all speak freely, raise your concerns, disagree, maybe even agree on a few things ;) Every group has arguments & disagreements but they are not carried out on the forums for all to hear, I’ve seen more of this from the IBz than any other group and it does you guys no good at all. If you have a problem with any member within the group or you don’t like what’s said a pm or email or even a phone call in my opinion is better than undermining each other publically.
With regards to this gym meet, let’s face it, it’s a special one. A lot of people are making the effort to come a long long way, and it’s not going to happen often. I personally think if you guys are inviting a group along then splitting the cost is acceptable but if it was my group I wouldn’t charge them at all, considering the time and effort they are already putting in to come along. When you first suggested the sum of a fiver each Carma, and when Lee replied with the following:
erm for 3 hours and 15 people it’s not gonna cost £5 if we split it 15 ways it’s not gonna be that much..
I honestly thought it was just a few wires crossed and it would be split equally!
If other groups were joining in all the time and agree to put in a little extra then fair enough but imo it shouldn’t be made mandatory, as like Jason said it would just put people off coming to your gym when other gyms are cheaper.
-
Well there are a number of points that have been bought up here, and I might be so bold as to say that some of our "Communication" problems have stemmed from personal disputes within the group. This does have to stop, especially in public forums. Charlie B hit the nail on the head with his post, and everyone in every group who are trying to actively take things forwards should heed what he has had to say.
Of course we're a not for profit group. I've been on to a subtle loser from the start, but that's not what it's all about. But as has been stated before, without a little profit, we aren't going to be able to invest in things to make the sport bigger and better (Gym equipment and advertising, etc), and this is all we're trying to do for the benefit of everyone.
I think that, other groups coming to our gym meets is a beneficial step forward in itself, which is why I was so willing to drop the price (i.e. their payment is in time and petrol to come along, and it makes our numbers look bigger automatically). So perhaps a two tier system whereby our visitors pay £2 and standard members pay the standard rate (£5, as after all, it's the standard members that will benefit more often from gym equipment, etc). When the numbers increase, the price decreases to £1 for visitors just like EBs.
I haven't had a problem with the subsidy. Like I said before, we wouldn't have the gym if not, and it's only been pennies, so no big deal. I will still pay the usual rate (£5) so that we do generate some revenue for the things we are trying to achieve (without alienating anyone).

:banana: i just wonna say cant wait i am coming now as my poorly car should make it and i cant wait letrs didcuss this more on the day as my head hurts trying to read all the losg posts i have a short attention span afterall..... :thumbs: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

can i ask what equipment the gym has carl says im coming 2 lol
-
i have one question what does your group need a fund for exactly surely we all promote the sport just by bocking what exactly do you need to pay out for surly your not advertising as the companys do that one there own and we do it by recomending sites and places to buy from, i cant see what reason a group would need to fund there group and i can easyily say that it is the first time i have heard of a group need a bank account and fund unless they have been doing paid event work would like to know why so maybe i can cause a big row between the EAs with the same reason
-
yh what equipment is there as i dnt wanna be flipping all the time i want stuff to vault jump over jump onto and stuff liek that

Well done Opal for sorting the Gym and I can understand now why you set the £5 fee for your regular meets and the drop for special meets is a good idea but I think if you extended it to your own members you would still cover your costs this time as it seems like a lot of people are coming :thumbs:
When I go to anything like this I am more than happy to pay the fee as I then know it will be available next time
May we have many more meets with the Invicta Bockerz :banana: :banana: :thumbs:
See you all tomorrow :banana:

Apologies from me!
I have far too much uni work to do and also discovered this morning my bocks are missing 2 bolts. Had to scout the carpark to find them, got them in the end... Just as well I didn't come as may have been bouncing on dogey bocks! :o

A very big thanks to EVERYONE who could make it! It was a huge success and lots of fun was had by all!
Congrats to TOK who managed to land his flips, and more than once so it does count!! No doubt we'll be seeing the video proof very soon!
We also had lots of spectators this time around, one of whom had a go and could walk straight away! A new IBz member in the making methinks ;D

Great day Folks
Clive and I had so much fun we got lost twice due to talking about it on the way home (once only 6 miles from home :haha:)
Thanks to all that made it happen and to so many of you (to many to mention) for pushing to my limits me and even trying to catch me when I fell (you know who you are :biggrin:)
Hope your not to bruised Rancher I didn't see it I only heard it live but just seen the vid I think you left a dent in the floor :biggrin:
So many really good bockers and good friends in one place reminded me of CB last year :banana: :banana:
I'm really looking forward to the pics should be some good ones :thumbs:
Thanks again

Good day folks
Lots of fun stuff to play with --me and Jason were kids opening the toy box when we went into the store room.
Hope everyone gets over their pains ( I think a 1/3rd of us left with aches and pains of one tpye or another), especially Jelly with her hip.
I drove Joe back to Bournemouth but he was OK to drive the last 30 miles to his place.
He certainly perked up a lil towards the end of the journey and he got into a 'phone conversation about minkeys and massages :rolleyes:
I think these multi group meets every now and again look like being a regular feature.
Hope to see a load of you in 2 weeks in London
-
2 weeks i london?? ???
when was this decided i wanna c u all agen soon
-
yh wats happening in london????
-
d'oh 'walk for life' --check the button just above the shout box. 10Km charity walk/bock
Jelly even features on the promo poster for the event which is plastered over the tube ;D
Its hard work but great fun make it if you can
There is a thread for it on here
-
I just want to say, the funding projects were outlined to all Invicta BockerZ present yesterday as well as a few others. If anyone wasn't there who wants to know where the funding is going, please do not hessitate to contact me.
We will keep you all upto date with the progress once we have more definate plans

One last bit of advice for all of those wishing to run clubs correctly
http://www.runningsports.org/
use either the workbooks tab or club problem solving tool
You can also see where workshops are being run near to you

Blummin excelent meet guys! Was great to have so many people down, meet some people I havent seen in ages, meet the guys i've spoke to on here before, and almost get "too close for comfort" with TundraH! haha
Big thanks to Rancher and Q for helping me out get my flips down! And again thanks to Rancher for lettin me try his skips out!
TundraH lived up to his name and broke a skip spring too!
Shame about the few injuries that occoured, which has opened our eyes at what to do next time around!
Hope to meet you all again real soon!
-
Thank you to the IBz for putting up with us Southerners, it was a wicked meet.
and almost get "too close for comfort" with TundraH! haha
It would have been a beautiful moment for the both of us. ;)
-
I still can't forget the "your other left moment" on the stand jump tundraH now that would have been funny if we had both gone the wrong way :haha:
Glad you know your left from right even if I don't :thumbs:

LOL I do that!! Was a regular thing from my gliding instructor...Now i choose where I go!! Even if it is in a hedge :haha: (wish I was joking but thats what happened last week! I hurt it too :rolleyes: )
-
I think the best one I did all day was try to jump up steps backwards
The result I headbutted tundraH in the foot and have now got a bruise the size of Wales on my A**
I must admit the pole dancing incident came a close second (That was tundraH's fault :biggrin:)
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
Damn it i missed that Jason! lol
Any new =s of any pics or vids from the meet?
-
I'd do it again for you Tok but it hurt a tad (minor groin strain :biggrin:)
I was trying to do the tundraH standing on the rail bit and slipped thus rotating round the lamp post bocks upwards :haha:
And I'll second the call for pics there were a lot of cameras going and I'm desperate to see myself :haha:

Looking forward to it Toddy :thumbs:
