Already there is talk about next years and even before leaving cardiff several people have told me they want it in cardiff again next year, though without the rain and without mikeyb Shocked
Anyway I have a few ideas, regardless of the location and to be honest I dont think a forum thread is really going to get the job done as it will just get twisted and off topic and we wont get a good end result.
So I propose, those who want to come and put some input or suggestions in, then we all arrange a good day and time where we can all meet up in the chatroom and throw ideas around. I know it might get a bit hectic but at least then we can take the final ideas and see what we all think will work best.
How does that sound?

i like thids idea we will all get more of a say in the final day :thumbs:
but yeh a time and date wud be good

Could we get 200 plus bockers in the maot ?
If we move around we must have lots of space, we'd block the path and road with those numbers !?
-

plus i hav heard of a place caled blue rail thats got vaulting spots an gaps to jump betwene :)))

capital bocking in norwich? behave........ 'capital'....need i say more......? lol...anyway, theres plenty of time to argue later :p

You lot could always come to St Helier sometime ? I go "Capital Bocking" too...Just not much fun on your own...I'd have liked to have been in Cardiff this year but I got married on the 14th August 2004 and the requirements of she who must be obeyed took priority...I got to go camping though(heaps of fun trying to keep the tent in one piece in 70mph winds on Alderney!!!),That's my excuse and if I don't stick with it I get to be a Eunuch :biggrin: :biggrin: I'm deffo gonna try and make the 2009 meet....If you happen to laugh at a skinny dark haired bloke falling over a lot next year," It's me, I KEEL YOU!!!!" :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

By next year you'll be fine .... Your better half may still be wobbly seeing has you brought them for your first anniversary :thumbs:

Capital Bocking being in a 'Capital' Kinda limits it don't you think? Seeing as most of us are 'down south' that leaves only London and Cardiff. And London is somewhat s**t for Bocking compared to Cardiff.
Norwich does get my vote on this one. The only downside is I am not sure they could cope with the numbers. It's a good city for all abilities.
Capital could mean pinnicle or highlight of the Bocking year.

That's brilliant :thumbs:
Could even say it's a CAPITAL idea :biggrin:
Why didn't I think of that :banghead:

second city bocking? birmingham is a bockers dream and smack bang in the centre of the country, win win as i see it
-
Yeah, birmingham is cool because of the many different areas we could bock in at once. And there is loads of things to jump up and off, gaps, vaults etc. Plus, we have the bullring lol!!!
-
Im good with Norwich as i can make that easily and won't have to spend 6 and a half hours on a bus again :thumbs:
CB was so AMAZINGLY GOOOOODD
any one got those massive group pics???
upload them or pm me if any1s got them
Jack
-
Becky has them and will upload them soon enough.
Note to naz: need to sort the swearword censor to ignore case as swearing in upper case seems to slip through!
-
just a note im getting the vibe that the saturday on the august weekend we have done for the last 2 years it has allways rained! maybe do it a week earlier or later :P
-
well i was thinking of moving it (if possible) to the bank hol weekend,
so we can recover at home on the monday

Becky has them and will upload them soon enough.

That not fare that got in but I'm not allowed to park my car at c*ckfosters tube station
That's odd I couldn't write that before ???
We can swear on the forum :banana:
We can say things like C :censored: T and W :censored: Y and S :censored: G !
Maybe not then :-\

i was thinking the same as paul..
2 maybe 3 weeks earlier, and have it in july...
as hopefully the weather is better...
i still think cardiff full stop...its a great place to bock,
with all the sights really close to each other...
it has to be a capital really, i disagree with norwich,birmingham etc
even though birmingham has some good places,with a force like that,
you would be moved on, plus staying local to it would be costly..
london has some good places but you get moved on also..although the crowds are amazing...the downfall its expensive for 2 days...
CARDIFF... HAS EVERYTHING and you dont get moved on...
on a nice day, it would be brilliant...
and its a pleasant place... its also the only venue which would cater 2 to 3 days easily without much expense....
the ideas are floating as people seem to come across as lazy to travel, yeah lets have it in our garden ;-) yeah that would be easy for you,, but the event would suffer...
think of bocking heaven, and only one place springs to mind now...
well i'm going there regardless lol... just give me the date locky...

Has one of those who had to drive 300 miles not the 100 you had to travel I feel that I could say YOUR the one who's lazy ?
Don't get me wrong Cardiff is a great place to bock I'm thinking of going for a week next year, and even thought that CB09 could be there but ....
There was/is a number of people who couldn't or not allowed to travel that far ( 300 miles ) and to not be given a chance again next year would be unfare to them ?
Think of others and their needs true we would look out for everyone once at CB but not everyone could travel with an adult so a 13-14 year old would miss out !
This may mean a 13-14 year old in Cardiff not able to go but it works both ways ?
-
I have to agree with DK.
Also, saying it *has* to be in a Capital city, basicly means, 'Cardiff only'. Considering London is actually not great. I cannot really understand why it's seen as good compared to Cardiff, all it is is flat. Which is boring. It's awesome for a day, but a fundimental meet like CB, I think not. Awesome for the first one, but now we know better cities I think it should be ruled out.
Not only that, but not going to other cities, is that not somewhat detrimental on what we are trying to do here? Arn't we suppose to be promoting the sport, and now we have introduced it to Cardiff, we should try with other citys and the local people who live there. I seriously think having it ONLY in Cardiff (Which is what those who are saying about it being in a Capital City) is counter productive.
Cardiff will be awesome for next year, but I do think other citys like Birmingham (a far more suitable option for our numbers) should seriously be consider.

:hijacked:
Like I said I'm thinking of week in Cardiff ?
Anyone fancy a week there with me ?
-
I must admit that the whole point of Capital bocking was to tour the Capitals and in theory Scotland or Northen Ireland should be next
But as neither is a practical idea back to London would be right for Capital Bocking
So why don't we just have 2 CB's at diferent times of year
1 Capital Bocking
2 CARDIFF Bocking next year
After all Cardiff is a great place to Bock
Jason :Hoofies2:
-
i heard talk of edinburough next year, as it is supposedadly ment t be capitals.. ireland im not to sure cus its overseas but scottland cud work..
but havin CB in london and just another massive meet in Cardiff sounds like a gr8 idea to me :biggrin:
so CB 2010 in AUSTRALIA << im in who else?
lol
Jack

dk you nob...lazy
birmingham my home town was suggested, and i said no, do cardiff again 127 mile to be exact... think before you type jerk off...thats surely lazy.... NOT...
yes it is about promoting the sport and going different places
but as i said earlier in a post...how many people who seen us in london would of bought stilts after... 1 2 maybe...
the sport will grow regardless, the big meet is about bocking good places and us having fun, not, what people may be interested on the sidelines...
birmingham as is london, will be crap for 2 days and forever being moved on... this is my whole point.... they are both 1 day'ers...2 days of bocking at the event should be the norm now as the social side came into it on the night times... you got to know people better where in the one day events, that just didnt happen...
birmingham is all pedestrianised now and crowds are mental saturday and sundays shopping, they just wouldnt let us ...although the icc area is big and may get central tv coverage.. and by the town hall there are good steps n stuff..staying local would be dear...
so its not to practical, just like london.......
so should it be... URBAN BOCKING 09 then ?
why dont we have a mass vote for all registered bockers on the forum....as the only good practical capital is cardiff...
but hey, its early days...a better place maybe found 6 month nearer the time i guess......
i'll go anywhere if the place is good enough, hastle free and practical...woah, that sounds like cardiff again hmmnnnn...

Pinhead sorry if you did like me calling you what you had already called all us form this side of england ?
But calling people that live 263 miles from Cardiff lazy because they think where they live has something to offer is a little hard ?
Has you pionted out Birmingham is 126 mile, I make it 107 mile, we passed it on the way to Cardiff ?
Birmingham is 160 miles from Norwich by the way !
I don't mind the distance but would it be nice to share this great meet to another place. Locky and crew do a lot of hard work on their meet in Cardiff. This forum is not the place to sort it out next years local CB!
If I upset you sorry but as you can see you've upset us lazy bockers over here on the over side of the country.

not at all buddy, i was stating what was possibly pins view due to his situation :)
it just highlights a potential problem in that people need to try an be present in the discussions. if theyre not as said, we wouldnt be able to accurately represent the community.

Come on guys!!!??? ??? ??? We're not even out of 2008 yet and there are harsh words being spoken....It ain't about dedication at the end of the day,we all love bocking right? Fair play to Locky,Becky and Sprog for getting you all together,one way or another you all managed to get there didn't you? Some of us did'nt....Life's too short to spend it duking it out all the time.....Waste your money,blow it on having fun,you can always get money....Don't waste your time, because you can't get that back......

aggghhhhhhhh
DK...you are sooo a nob...
the point i was making was....
people were suggesting venues which were close to them
ffs...ie being lazy... so get your facts right...before you open your big gob...
thats what i was meaning...and i wasnt suggesting it too all..
as for my travelling, i dont quite know why that came into it..
which was pointed out by ricc...that isnt an issue for me, no i dont have a car, i ride motorbikes... but i would still find a way to get there, unless it was ireland or scotland, then i just wouldnt bother...
yeah cardiff is the best place, but i will go anywhere within reason..
maybe it should be changed from a capital, and go other places,
as long as they were practical...hence the suggestion of urban bocking 09.... or paranoia DK show me all your gadgets 2010
either way, most of us would go...

As far as I could see the only group that was saying have it near them was people near Norwich.
That's where I've been as I'm a memeber of the EA group !
Your traveling came into it has your brought ours into it !
Right I've finished and I'm not dropping to the level of calling poeple names !
Let's sort things out on Radio Bock ( not that I've ever heard it live ? )

capital bocking* in norwich? behave........ 'capital'....need i say more......? lol...anyway, theres plenty of time to argue later :p
erm yes you do cos without going to a dictionary i can think of 3 definitions of 'capital'. As an example (putting on a jeeves wooster type accent) one could just have a 'simply capital bocking day', which could fit Norwich.
Also , it can just be used as a name to 'hang' an event and loose its original meaning. I mean I dont think 10 000 guineas is still the prize for that horse race, dont stop the name persisting.
Basically , I dont think the title should be used to limit debate.
Chatroom fine , but still not the be all and end all. There is potential for it to become a room of babel and with the most articulate/fastest thinking/most prepaired/fastest typer leading debate too much. Also will be difficult for some to recall what was said- and ment .
Atleast here in a thread it is more democratic and without interuption 1 may post an idea or comment in 1's own time.
I greatly support all the debate. If only cos its fun. But it is more than that i believe.
There are many ideas for both the event and the location. So there is also the case to be made for groups or individuals to go off and prepare bids ( a la Olympics). Then comeback --ooo mid November ( thats just a notional date so not quibble on that 4 the mo please ;D ) present case answer questions. Go off tidy up , then re submit and vote/consensus mid December. Just another suggestion.
Also if people have ideas Id say its only fair to publish them infront of a chat room debate. its not a competion and I think it would inspire other
So peeps , 1st off chuck out place names, what you want to do ( and why) how long you want to do it for and anything else you can think off is what I say. Then you and others look at um & peice bits together , pull other bits apart. Gnerally start to get a feel even a plan for something.
Ive certainly thought about somat on the south coast. The biggest draw back would be travel, if anyone who has ever tried to get to the area via M25 and 3 will know and may well rule the area out completely.
That not withstanding Ive cast an eye over Winchester ( capital of Wessex) , to be honest a bit flat and small only real potential ( as I saw it) was for some cross country bocking --water meadows for a gentle stroll or St catherines Hill for the braver --old iron age hill fort that dominates the sky line).
Portsmouth and Southsea , however, has much greater potential. Enuff potential Im not sure.
I also like notion of returning to a simple 1 day touristic romp around London. Where we are not just looking in on ourselves but also looking out.
Going the otherway and staying same size of getting bigger is going to raise a certain question. 'Sponsorship', doing things big is alot easier with some upfront seed capital. People need to deside how they feel about that.
* Oh and as I recall I came up with the original name --so I think I might be 1st to opine on its meaning and usage hehe

Are you a mind reader I was in mid post to say the same thing >:( :biggrin:
But I'd think it would need groups making bids as Locky and crew are not going to be able to sort it out for them.
Bid's would need to include pictures/video of locations ( spaces how we can move from different locations and car parks and trains ) and maybe they should check if we'd be welcome if it's private property.
I can think of 4 places for CB09 but thinking logicaly I'd says it has to be Cardiff as it could easly coup with over the 300 we could get which I can't see the other doing !
-
Norwich = Capital of Norfolk....pwned :p
Haha, who really cares where it is? lets just Bock!!! Tbh, why not just leave this thread and wait for radio bock? :)
-
cos the opposite is just as reasonable. Radio bock was just a proposal, because Locky doesnt think much will come of threads like this.
There is another arguement, that says somthing may.
Many will not be 'tuned in ' to the debate.
So Id say there should be something parallel and wider ranging . Yep its messy long winded and annoying but may well get a better answer.
There is no reason why this debate cant happily rumble on for another month b4 desiding that we have to deside erm something
-
I'm maybe out when Radio Bock's on. Others can't listen at all Radio Bock can't be the the only place this topic should settle down soon ?
-
BECAUSE RADIO BOCK IS AWESOME. End of Argument.
It's being discussed there, so actually tune in and be part of the discussion, otherwise you're gonna miss out.

Well no, Im going to tundraH's birthday party dont care if its awesome or not. But Im sure it will b fun
Yep discuss discuss as ive said Im all for that.
Its just too many familiar faces seem to have made plans and have desided when and where to roll them out
-
DK calm down. I'm going to announce my ideas on radiobock simply because it will be easier to explain on cam than in text and I can get initial reactions in the chat room.
If you cant watch it live, the replay is available 24/7.
Afterwards, if needed we can come to some sort of decsion either on the forums or if still needed, in a chatroom meet up, as first suggested in my orignal post.

As am I, but a mobile phone will be coming with me so I can call into the show, and a wireless laptop may come too to hijack a network in bournemouth :P
Yep discuss discuss as ive said Im all for that.

They have? We only want to get the ball rolling and get next years CB organised, so we can sort out problems we had this year much earlier on.

:-\ I'm always calm if I wasn't I turn green and smash up things :biggrin:
I in the house for the first time to listen to radio bock live :banana:
-
This is exactly what people need Nero to put forward the case for their home town and I agree that brum looks really great. I need to bock there soon.
Anyway my ideas as announced on radiobock but we had some live streaming problems so I never did get much of a 2 way discussion going on the show....
Something we can not ignore when organising CB is the weather. This year the rain practically ruined saturday and could have easily done so on sunday too, making the whole thing virtually pointless (ignoring the social aspect for a moment).
Capital Bocking needs an indoor venue. Period.
This costs money but we're at the stage now where the sport is growing and a lot more people know of the sport. I dont think its too far stretched to aim to get some event sponsorship. Not from a bocking company but a massive UK brand such as redbull, tesco, animal etc. Someone big. I know we always wanted CB to be non-commercial but I believe we're at the stage now where it needs funding to grow.
Also, we could do with some event management. I dont know how many other people have organised something similar but I'd say it was about 1000 times more hard work than I expected.
My proposal: If we can get sponsorship, we hire an indoor arena. Not something like the O2 arena or wembley indoor arena. Something smaller like the NEC in birmingham or CIA in Cardiff. I've no idea what these would cost but the advantages are plain and simple:
- We could design whatever the hell we wanted.
- It could not get rained off.
- There would be plenty of space for 200 bockers.
- It would be 100% safe.
- It would have no risk of causing any issues with local authorities what so ever.
The only downside is we'd not draw a crowd but we could open the arena to the public if they wanted and if it did happen to be a nice day then we could head outside also (like cardiff and birmingham seem to have some great places to bock outside). I dont mean all of us at once but it would work itself out evenly.
-
now i do have to agree with you there locky, but then couldnt we try and get the bbc interested in us more and see if they would want to part sponcer us to have all media coverage(except papers) and we could then defo have a mini olympic's etc in there
the nec we would have space for 2000+ in one hall i would think
and then each group could then design there own part and then see what is the best
-
yeah i really like that idea also locky, thats taking things to the next level.
which is what we need really for the sport.
hit me up when you wanna do brum, we will guide you to the best spots :)
-
I think we also been to form one over all group, nothing more than a forum with all our names on it so company's can see the numbers involved. It one thing asking sponsership for a event with 30 in it and one with 300 in it ?
Maybe more than one company could share the cost of staging it ?
If we get a wide range of differnet company's involved we cant spread the idea of bocking even more !
We cover a wide range of people young/old, boys/girls.
None of us could be called shy so any sponsores wouldn't find it hard to get people to pose for them !
When asking/showing them what bocking's all about we could help with ideas on how we could help promote themself useing the event ?
RED BULL ~ Give you springs. Could be a good selling piont for them.
One important thing sponserships should not include politics or too controversial some offers would have to be turned down even if we could do with the cash !
-
yeah its a sensative point DK. I remember people paying for the campsite and asking where the money was going...er...to the campsite! (I have a £620 receipt if anyone wants proof). Thats why we need the sponsorship, even if funding it ourselves was do-able, we have too many voices and opinions here to keep it all together.
-
i think a indoor event sounds brill
the NEC looks gd
umm red bull would probbly sponcer bocking an maby relentless
toddys idear is gd each group can be givin a difrent chalange to designe a part of the arina an then chalange the outher groups to complete diffrent things on ther section
an as dk said none of us are shy so if say red bul dose sponcer cb 09 or wheat eva they every one will jump * no pun intended * at the chance to b in piccis of do displays for them

youve watermarked it with everything cept www.projumpforum.co.uk... the site u posted it on...

I never intended to post in on PJF (or any forum) to be honest, it's on my photography site, so I was mearly showing it as an example in response to Lozzi.
It's watermarked with CB because that's the event, XB as it played a major part in the organisation of CB, and WB because CB was in Wales and the Welsh Bockers put a lot of hard work into it (and Dawesome is technically part of the Welsh Bockers, if not officially). If I watermarked it with every bocking site it would look stupid, and IMO PJF wasn't linked to CB that greatly, and would have provided little info on the event or bocking in Wales to Red Bull.
If I hadn't intended to send it to red bull I wouldn't have watermarked it anyway.

wow i care so much
-
Why comment on it then?
-
i expect a band for this, but i feel rialed!
jack your a c.unt
my sensible reply consists of......... why on earth should it have any addresses on it? oh wait.. cause sprog/becky etc own ALL the images they took. the do as they please and associate the image with the forum/sites they wish to associate it with. end of.
-
put away ur handbags lads :P
-
I don't own a handbag :P
I was thinking more of beating his head in with my camera. It has sharp corners.
-
:biggrin:
-
sprog, may i recommend a bock?! its too has sharp corners, is weighty, and you can then leave the scene of the crime at high speed.
i also cast my mind back to CB where mini ellis kicked me and cut me doing the exact same thing. lol
-
You have a point Ricc, but I feel the camera would be more poignant and ironic
Oh look! We just totally destroyed this thread and pulled it so far off-topic it's gonna have a hard time clawing it's way back :P

wait. let me chortle in a manner fitting of this situation.
HA HA HA.
right, now thats done, let me say... for the love of god SLAY HIM DOWN! hahhahaha camera bludgeoning FTW!

And it means my camera with have stylistic emo blood splatters over it!

hahahahahahaha. end of.
jack = EPIC FAIL.

I wonder if Matt will be happy when he comes back and sees what we have done to his thread... oh well! ;D

you guys a merciless...
But I would never risk damaging my camera :nana:
-
You know us too well Naz... I would because mine is only worth £100 now... However, once I get an SLR it won't be used for bludgeoning at all. Just photography. And blinding people if I get a fat ass flash for it :biggrin:

lads lads ther is no need to b so brutil be nice dont hit ppl wiv your bocks or a camra u might damage them hit ppl with something more solid like the ground :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Add that to my arm moving at speed, and it's a pretty good weapon. Wanna be a test subject? :P

I'm game ... Your talking to someone who slide ( long story ) out of a T-junction on a 125 motor bike and hit a car and I WAS THE ONE that could ride away I'd smash a window blow a tire and took half the rear wing off the car as for me ! Well I rode back and stopped with not a mark on me.
So take a swing :nana:

Haha, back on topic, i think it's a great idea to have cb inside. Maybe we will in and see what bocking outside the nec is like prior to the event Nero?
-
Jeez!!! I need to keep up, it took too long to read this thread!!!!
Guys, your all a bunch a women, its like being back at school, namer calling, hair pulling, nail scrathing! stop squabling!!!
I love the Idea of CB indoors, but Im not sure it would reach the same number of people (in the same way) as an outside event would.
How about something down south?? theres loads of places with big open areas, and campsites used all year round.
I dont think we should use the same place 2years on the trot, else it will stagnate and people wont be as outstounded, so a different location would be best.
Whats all this much about Rain?? If I remember, the 1st ever one rained, the second rained, and now the 3rd has, big deal, its water, you can still bock in it! We did last year!
Sponsors is a good idea, but a hell of alot of paperwork and effort.
It would be best to come up with a committee, say 1maybe two members from each group, Ibz, Welshies, EA's, Sky high, etc etc, and then discuss it with them, and let them disseminate the info to all the people in theire region, get the feedback, and then report back to the committe, that way it saves 200 odd people all having a rant, they can expres their wishes to their respective members, and then it becomes civilised and easyer to understand the views.
Just my two peneth guys and girls.

Lol, Hex, what other capital bocking did you go to? ??? :D

Cardiff is such a good place we have got to have a yearly meet there

For people thinking of Norwic ( but not There as you will see). If you thinkthere is not enuff to do and daunted by allthe other stuff. Why not have a little look at your local university.
from late 50's thru 60's into the 70's loads of Universities, Polytechnics and Institutes of Higher ( and in some cases not so higher ) Education. Now the University of east Anglia ( UEA) was 1 of a number built as an edge of city/town campus. Built round a large square/courtyard with raised walking areas, steps ramps and randombits of cooncrete ( sounding familiar?). But also the Halls are hired out during holiday periods, cheap cheerfull ( 2 up for camping and 1 down from budget hotel) style. Also cheap food and drink. Also a reasonable chance of indoor sports facilities. Also close to a large urban area for a sat evening or sunday morning promanard so we would not be cut off from civilisation.
Has the advantage of being a 1 shop stop for much that people think we need. And as placesthat are filled by students most of the year a uni campus might be more disposed to us 'oddstas'.
As I say this sort of place is replicated around the country ( Bath for the west country as anexample). Sussex Uni , as I recall, might be a good spot. Its Basil Spence designed campus is set in the side of the south downs and there is a nearby railway station to take peeps into nearby Brighton.
So in summary , as a place to stay and indoor bock spot and a place for some of the outdoor bocking. Why no have a look at your local Uni website and maybe google earth it too.
OH and I know that the tone seems to be for bigger and better. But Id like to hope that for the sake of completeness there is in the final offering the chance to consider a 1 day tour of London event. I know a number of peeps who are warm to the idea.
I was in a charity walk with over 1000 on foot in London earlier in the year.So Idont see why a day for a couple of hundred bockers should be impractical.
And there was somat about last years event, the getting up at dawn (ish) meeting more and more peeps on train then Waterloo a couple more in street then striding into Hyde Park. Then bocking till we dropped in one of the most amazing cities on this planet ( and being the centre of attention) . Finally falling asleep on the train home. Things can be bigger, but sorry not sure the would nesessarily be better.

I'm thinking of having a week there next May . I enjoyed it there ( shame about the weather ).
Hilly and me did have a bounce about 8 am on Friday and it was lovely when it's warm in the sun.
So Locky you've been warned ;D

I was at CB2 in London, but I remember the pics and people talking about CB1 in London, and it rained then too.
Also did the sport relief mile in the rain with Spud and Gixer. Rain is just a good way to keep cool and stop you from overheating!!

ive read alot of what people are saying but its not the place its the people

There never was a second capital bocking in London. There have only ever been 2 CB events.
The only ones have been
London - August 19th 2007
Cardiff - August 17th and 18th 2008

CB12 is going to have to be in London !
London 2012 Olympics will be on so we'll have the whole world watching. Who knows they may want to use us ( maybe not it's been done ) !

(Hilly hits like a girl ? )
Y did i get dragged into this. No i dont hit like a girl (though i'd like to point out there are weightlifting women and things), i hit like a pascifist, its what you get from being a NICE PERSON, something a lot of people on this forum seem to have forgotten about, they also dont seem to remember that CB is supposed 2 b about bocking, and promoting the sport,
for shame
and if i might interject the squabblings to get back on topic, i don't think norwich is a good idea, i find its a tad flat, and though i have heard of new, unvisited places to bock, all anyone seems to do when i go is hang around in the moat, we went to the forum on of the times, but nothing much happened there.
while cardiff was a good meet, i think it best to change it every so often, Cardiff every year could get slightly boring, though i wouldn't put it past anyone willing to make a yearly meet there anyway, but quite frankly im sure the welshies meet there quite often anyway, and anyone would join in with them at times better for them,
I personally would prefer if CB was still stuck to the original plan of London-Cardiff-Edinboro' i know there arent many up there, so lets try to get some!! sum1 wit the time and resources (at which point i'd like to point out i have neither) to take a look around edinboro' 4 sum gd places.
if we do edinboro' this time, tbh i dont know if i wanna do CB very often anymore. There's too much hassle involved with the travel, i bock better in a small group anyway, because i have slight problems wit confidence, and everyone jsut ends up full of disputes like the many in this string! capital bocking is starting to be less of a bocking event and more of a battle royale!!!

There never was an "original plan" for London-Cardiff-Edinborough, and never has been. There never was a plan for CB to be every year. CB was going to be a one-off event in London, and that was it. It was then decided to do it again afterwards, again in London, until Cardiff was suggested.
The problem is the majority of us are based southernly, even the northern bockers are closer to london and cardiff than edinborough.
Organising CB has always been a hassle, even more so this year, as a long of planning and detail goes into it, as well as getting permission from various bodies (councils, police, etc) and generally getting everyone sorted. Organising it at this time last year also caused disputes between London and Cardiff but they eventually settled.
It does not help that certain people hold grudges against others, especially those who have them against the organisers of 2007 and 2008 (myself, Locky, Becky, ET and Bobman)
Also Hilly, I think DK meant that as a joke. Calm down a little :)
-
I'm prefectly willing to get to anywhere on the mainland, and edinboro' would be pretty awesome for the few(2 maybe 3) that would go from Northern Ireland. hehe.
Not really fussed, I don't have much of a say in the matter :P
-
Not really fussed, I don't have much of a say in the matter :P
Every one has a say, we welcome (almost) all opinoins and will work from that :)
-
Nah, I'm just saying like. Coming from the point of ignorance. its all the same for me, i don't know where is good/bad/ugly
-
Both CB's where great and it takes a lot to sort out. It's nice to get us all to come to a big meet once a year. We don't all have the chance to meet up every weekend and to us ( and most bockers ) this meet is high light and the year, you can keep Xmas give me CB instead :thumbs:
An indoor option would be nice but if rain too much out side to bock it's nice we get to see each other face to face. Both CB's have had rain but we still got some bocking in :thumbs:
If anything if the next CB was a little earlier in the year we may get better weather :-\
To the people of do take up the challange to sortting the next CB out remeber their's a lot of people out here who would be more than happy to help you out :thumbs:
People like Jelly and Co putting people up and driving people about for one :thumbs:
:offtopic: Hilly I meant in the car, I needed somethig to stop me nodding LOL
-
Well, seeing as i was supposed to go to cyprus next year, but am not now, i am most probably going to use the money to go to some kind of bocking event abroad, i.e. like majorca or aubria, or something, so i'm not overly bothered about CB, if its easy i'l come, if not i'm good :)

Well I'll be promoting Bock in the UK when ever I can anyway ?
I think that once a year we should all try to meet up somewhere to show the UK and World that bocking is a growing pass time.
CB07 got 70 and CB08 got 110 it's going the right way but we need more next time the press will pick up on it and who knows with sponsorship bock could really take off ( bocking, take off :laugh: ) in the UK.
I've seen skateboarding come and go, along with skate parks more than once !
We have to get more people into the sport and meets and the CB meet are the way to promote it.
We need to been seen enjoying it to get more people wantig to try it.
Chocl8 your a hell of a lot better than me ( most people are better than me ) it would be a shame for you not to make CB09 next year :(
-
OK, somewhere different, Anybody thought about Cornwall?? I cant remember if I suggested this already, but think of all the people that head down that way over the summer months for the beaches and camping. we could all go down, crash a campsite, then take over!! Just think, sun, sea, sand Girls (for the men), men (for the girls) and anyway you wish to mix them combo's up. It could be good . . . . . . . . .
-
Scotland if no one has said it soz i didnt read all the pages.
Scotland like Glasgow or maybe Danmark?
-
to be honest, im hoping its either Cardiff, or Birmingham for obvious reasons, Birmingham is easily accessible to most as its centrally situated.
but then again Cardiff for the bay :)

This ;D
Not only are there amazeing beaches you could all gatecrash the 'Capital' of Cornwall: Truro.
I think I'm about one of 4 people in the whole of Cornwall who own stilts, so many of us in one place... Cornwall wouldn't know what hit it :P
-
I've done newquay on stilts, it was boring, and wet...very very wet =[

As stated, the problem is not so much finding a good location but more finding someone to organise it and in a way that can take the whole sport forwards.
We could list names of places all year long but it wont get anything done.

A small group meet is easy to sort out but the more that come the more you have to workout.
There's a meet idea to go to France which comes up every so often but disappears because no one will organise it.
I could say Lincoln.There's nice gym and there's place around the city center that could couple with 200 -300 of us ( maybe ). But saying and organising are two different things !
-
Agree with Locky
The issue is the organisation and management of a large event. This is not something that could be done by just one person. Suggesting places is easy, getting people to commit time to plan and organise an event is the hard bit.

I'll commit time to plan and organising this event in Lincoln if fellow YBB members will help me out. I think Lincoln would be a good place for a meet as DK said

It would also help with promoting the Gymfests we have here and with

I may well be coming back to the UK next year, if I do, I am happy resume my role as organiser
-
The thing is Lincoln is going to get a lot of attention over the coming months due to the gymfests Clive is running, its a good idea but I don't know if we'll end up over-using Lincoln as an event centre.
May as well though as I don't think Matt is keen on organising Cardiff again and lets be honest, London is nice for a wander round and a few locations to bounce but it's crap if you want to get some serious bocking done. The indoor event idea is really cool but it involves gaining a lot of money and sponsorship to pull it off, which is a problem (Ideally we wanted CB to be sponsorship/endorsement free - For Bockers, by the Bockers - although it's getting increasingly difficult to stick to that).
It all depends on how good Lincoln is as a bocking location, where people can stay, what else can be done around the area (for non-bockers who are coming), and a few other variables too. The reason we chose Cardiff is because of the bay, the massive open space with loads of obstacles and challenges (that were never intended for bocking but work amazingly well), which ensured there was something for everyone and everyone had their own space and room to move which help reduced the risk of accidents, plus the fact there was no need to wander round from location to location like in London, it was all one big spot... If Lincoln has the same kind of appeal then it would be good.
I may well be coming back to the UK next year, if I do, I am happy resume my role as organiser
In which case you might get a very big hug. LOL.
-
ET will get more than a hug from me! Cant wait to see you again big man :)
I'm not unhappy about organising next years but having first hand experience of it, I'm not going to put the effort in for what is a glorified meet up. Capital Bocking needs and deserves to be bigger and better than that.
Personally I dont think any kind of sports centre is going to be adequate. 50 or 60 bockers is fine for a leisure centre but close to 200? I dont think so.
I'm also not against it being in cardiff again, just need to get things sorted with an indoor venue. To be honest we'd be limited to the Indoor arena in Cardiff or the Millenium Stadium. Hmmm
-
Cardif Bay is excellent and very enjoyable. Had a great time with Locky and the Welshies. More than happy to go back. Not done London so cannot comment. Could we not base ourselves in Hyde Park ???
To get a good event you really need to have a relationship with officialdom to get reduced costs, media interest etc. Also feel that sponsorship is a must unless people are prepared to pay for it themselves.
Lincoln is OK good city, small and compact with some good shopping and cultural things to do. The North Kesteven Sports centre though is a little way from the city centre so accessibility to the city is an issue.
I also agree to some degree with Sprog, it is possible to over use a venue.
Here is a suggestion. I work with the Sports Team on the East Coast Of Lincolnshire. I could talk with them about developing an event in Skegness (have done before but binned it coz of time and insurance issues). Not the centre of the world but a reasonable place to go. The planning would have to include an ability to get to an indoor gym if the Weather turned bad.
My thoughts are that we could occupy a central area near the beach (close to the extreme sports site). It would need organisation so we could get mats and kit on site but it is possible.
-
Just read Lockys post.
My vote would be for cardiff
-
yeah i think Cardiff again
-
If its going to be an indoor event then maybe we could consider Birmingham. As its in a very central location and it relatively easy to access from anywhere in the country it would make for a great spot. Cardiff is great but the big draw there is the Bay and if thats going to be too much of a nightmare then it might as well be elsewhere.

have you been to that one?..... it's revolting, just quietly

It used to be really good, but, it did go pretty downhill and we stopped going, If it has continued to go downhill then by now it must be seriously, seriously c**p
:spudT:

To be hounest there is bearly anyway which is ok for everyone
-

We wont be able to please everyone but I think its important to have a venue with decent accessability for the majority of people.
Btw it is spelt 'barely' not 'bearly'
-
I got to admit that Birmingham is my fav choice. I remember seeing some pics from other meets that made me really wanna go there but I also remember pinhead saying that to be outside in mass we'd definately need to get the authorities onside. Also I think with the right marketing and funding we can hire the NEC or one of brums arenas for us and build basically whatever we wanted.
-
yeh matt has the rite idea of hiring the NEC only problem is gettin sponsership monety for it :/
-
About the money needed to hire something ?
I think this year some people didn't come has it looked like it was going to rain all weekend but we still had over 100 bockers.
If we had all put £5 into a pot we could hire at least hired some form on cover with the money ( £500 ) ?
CB09 is 10 months away and if we can get 200 bockers and each put £10 ( about 25p and week ) into a pot we are talking £2000 ( £1000/day ) to use to hire somewhere.
Would mean we need the money ASP and you could end up paying and then not be able to go ( maybe some sort of refund could be worked out ).
With what people would be spending over the weekend anyway £10 would be asking much ( some spent a lot more on booze on saturday night !? )
-
That opens up a whole new can of worms DK. People will moan that they could have spent the money on a better location or that it wasnt decided on very well etc. To make that work you'd basically have to say, donate your money and then totally trust the organisers to spend it wisely and if you dont like it then too bad.
It would cause arguments. Trust me.
-
I think sponsorship is the way forward.

I think sponsorship is the way forward.
Just like Locky just pointed out we would have the agree on a loction first unless a sponsor could trust us to spend their money ?

I personally think it has to be Birmingham or London and in that order of preference. I say we have a poll vote on the 2 locations and essentially we will be voting for an indoor location.

Where ever is pick it still needed someone who as the time to plan it. It's not going to happen unless we get some oe to do it !

There a lot more details on another forum ?

the otha forums jus a big mess an seems pointless to me im sure sum1 will inform me as whats goin on when i need to know lol
-
Basically, Muncher is still looking into it and its still a work in progress, his trying to do it properly and get proper permission but I'm not sure if he is aware about the recent ban.
However Munchers always said if others are willing to bring forward another location, organise it, do their homework on it then people can vote on the location they prefer.
There's still talks of a possible London or Cardiff CB but nothing is confirmed and just talk, but Norwich is still the only location that someone is actively working on to make it a CB location.
Think the above sums up the full thread on PP more or less.

And we are going WAY OFF TOPIC.
The plan is that "CB09" will be held in Norwich and even where the EA's have been told their banned could still be a option if we sort it out for the EVENT :Csmile:

you do know you dont have to reply to EVERY post on the forum dont you?

Clearly not...

ok...
Lets get back on topic now plz :)

Good Idea back on topic
I have kept my thoughts about CB this year to my self and watched it develop
We really need to settle a venue in the next month or so I know how hard the organisers work to make it fun and get a good venue and I must say all the venues seem to have good and bad points
The first one in london was fun and well done as we were all new to big meets but london does n't have a central bocking area where we can all go and camping is a no go
Cardiff was brilliant and the Bay is good bocking but can we expect the council to accept us year on year, good for camping even if the washing facilitys could do with a bit of work :Claugh:
Norwich sounds nice if Spud can perform a miracle and get the Forum on the adgenda
Others have been mentioned but the only one under way as far as I can see is Norwich and they seem to be having lots of setbacks
If we can't all settle on a place it is likely that it might not happen and that would be a tragedy
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Even if we cant agree on a location i would love a date so i can deffinatly get it off work as im sure others do to as they wont want to miss CB
-
Good point Paul
Some people need to book hols months ahead
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
oh nooooo lol
ET may be back
elastoplast them bot bots
-
At the mo I would say Norwich is a no. I personally would not be happy with having so many bockers there, I would want to make sure we are totally welcome first.
:spudT:
-
I know its a bit of a far thought and there are no groups in the cities but what about Edinburgh or Belfast is there any chance of holding CB09 there? the organising could be a bit of a problem I don't know, I don't know how hard it would be from organising it in Cardiff or London or whether Edinburgh and Belfast have a suitable place for 200-300+ bockers to bock
-
Well said Spud
Maybe next year when all is sorted not worth ruining your bocking area for a couple of days
The problem with north of the border or over in Ireland is that for a lot of bockers it is too far away and a large percentage of bockers are based middle to south so it won't happen until a lot more people take up bocking there sorry
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Whatever happens, Capital Bocking will take place in 2009.
Locky and I need to sit down and talk with Becky and Muncher and we shall come to an agreement, currently myself and locky are looking at a 1-day event in London, then 2010 we'll most likely head back to Cardiff with a bang, bigger and better than ever before. This all needs to be agreed and finalised though, so don't quote me on it.
-
well Edinburgh and Belfast were just an idea, I kinda guessed that was the reason why it hasn't been held there
Me and choco bean are up for CB09 anywhere, its a long drive to all of the main cities from Bradford so it wont bother me driving, though if its london I may consider national express
-
i'm probably the closest to contact with edinburgh anyone really has regularly round here :P it may be possible (very small chance) to rent the floor of the climbing wall building, which has a large thick matted area, although not gym style (not as soft), just to prevent injuries if you fall when bouldering, other than that, i can think of a few squares which could be suitable, and a park, near princes street (basically the centre) which could be fun.... i've never really been in...
There's also the Royal Mile, which, as it suggests, is a near straight, pedestrianised up-hill road, although i dont know how suitable it would be....
Just a bit of information, if anyone would consider it, after all, CB is a camping trip, no? we could see about areas in edinburgh to camp... lol
-
Well london is easy for me
Just a thought I have never been to the millenium dome whats the bocking like round there and would it be better than central london
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
Ok fine, Norwich is a NO GO!!! Muncher isnt happy but we cant make them unBan us from there. If people are up for London then i think it would be a good idea to do 2 days. There is so much to see, by the time you get down to london find a parking space, you wont have very long to bock before you a are heading off again. It would be good for people to see the sights aswell as show off the sport. There are good campsites in and around london which are easily accessible by train and road into the centre of london. There are also places to crash i.e mine, my bros and peeps in kent and essex. Not to mention hotels, motels, B&B's and hostels! Im up for Helping to organise this meet as i live and work in London and my job is in leisure and tourism, so could suggest places for us to bock and sight see. jelly x
-
London sounds good to me and if i can help in anyway i will :Cyes: :Straddle5:
-
kk well im up for anywhere and im here to help as much as poss.
-
whoooo London i love london can we go camden ill help if u need nethink Jelly
-
CAMDEN!!!!! I so went to london just to go there, I was wanting to go for like 2 years and its like the most awesome place ever! I want to go to london..I say CB in london is a good idea, but if it would be possible I think 2 days would be nice.
:spudT:

I can't believe a little set back on a loction can put people off trying to bring CB to Norwich.
If we can be allowed the rope off part of the Forum then we would not only be safe to others but a draw for the local shops which could be a selling piont :Cwink:
-
Thats an unrealistic IF.

Little set back! Right, where are the 2 places that we bock in norwich. 1)the moat 2) the forum that means we have lost 50% of the bocking spots. If thats "a little set back" then omg, a big one would be something like norwich being set on fire and burnt to the ground!
Question number 1)
Was Norwich the most ideal location for capital bocking from the start?
No, It wasn't. It was not a bad spot and was definitely do-able. I liked the idea. But as a ideal location, far from it as there are only very small (but plenty) of good bocking areas.
Question 2)
Realistically would it be possible to a) block of an area of the forum b) would they actually do it?
Seeing as the forum is, although privately owned, a public area I think it is very unlikely that we would be able to get an area closed off. The forum has a libary, and was the reason it was built. It now plays host to the BBC and a few shops too but it is mostly for the public library. Why should the public be inconvenienced by our presence? Is there a benefit to the forum?
Also, the forum area is rented out, both inside and out. During the summer it is often used by people making displays. Our flying club has had 2 there. So why the hell would they say we could go there. They could lose a few thousand £ by doing that. And again, what can we give to them that would be worth that? Unless we got some money or people payed that is not realistic. We hired areas of the forum, and we had a bit of space, but not that much, it cost about £300 for 2 days. they could probs fit say 6 like that inside the forum and another 6 outside. Unlikely but thats kinda how much it would cost.
Question 3)
Is it really a selling point? A benefit to local shops?
No, because this is an event for bockers, so unless we advertise prior to the event, or go on a huge shopping spree people that see us will have been going already, if anything, it will be negative. More they look at us less spending time they have.
My statement regarding the EAs reputation:
I think it is a bad time to hold any big meets at norwich, At the moment things are unstable. I dont think it needs to be shaken up. At the mo we have lost the place that was critical to CB, and we have no other places to go..yet. So really, can anybody say having a meet somewhere where the best areas are off the table for now say that it is a good idea? I am not saying it wont be sorted, or there wont be another place to bock but right now I can't guarantee anything, It is a poor investment of energy and could leave people disappointed. It is a much better idea to go somewhere where you can guarantee the event and spots.

I've been seing a lot of this lately where members are suggesting things but wanting others to do the hard work, why not step forward and try and do something productive about it yourself insted?
DK if you honestly think that what you are suggesting may actually happen then perhaps you need to do your research and get in touch with the people who have the authority to make these decisions and ask them whether what you are saying can be done or not.

London this year next year Norwich :Claugh: and tomorrow the world (oops thats my secret plan forget I said that or I will have to Kill you all :Claugh:)
I suggested a treasure hunt to Spud to keep the bockers apart at Norwich as the space was tight might be an idea for London as a bit of fun Jelly
Maybe a pic of a trick at each location as you find them we could work in teams of 10 or so (that should start some arguments can I pick the teams :Claugh:)
First team ET, Sprog, Nero, DK, Aidan, Spud, Naz, Toddy, Me (on camera) and Clive (to defend me) :Claugh:
Actually forget the treasure hunt we'll just watch the fight on bocks :Claugh:
Only joking Guys I love you all really :Cwink:

i really like the idea of trasure hunt and was looking to do this in the summer arround hartsholme park in lincoln.
More of an orienteering exercise, clues take you to a site put the picture on your mobile and bring it back to the control point.
With regards to Cb once you start to get 100+ people in a group things start to get difficult.
What areas can you use
issues with Health & Safety
Issues with Insurance
How do you keep everyone involved
What happens if it rains
The list can go on
Without doubts to now do this well takes a lot of organising, I would suggest 100+ bockers at the moat would create some problems for the local authorities upon which they would have to act. The same would be said of most venues including parts of London.
I am afraid you will have to face it that you will need an organising group not juast one person and you will also have to develop a plan for the day. This could then be discussed with local Authorities and possible sponsors (if you want sponsorship)
Either way 1 person ain`t enough
-
Treasure hunt is one of the sort of things i was thinking of, in london we quite often get groups of people like the military and companies dropped off without a phone, wallet, map etc etc and with just a bunch of questions and tasks which then they have to answer and complete. Which is really very exciting and fun! Of course we would take the stilts into consideration.
There would be a variation of things for us to do over the suggested 2 days, if people can do so, if not then just the 1 day.
The London Eye is in County hall and County hall owns the surrounding land, they should be fine with us bocking about, last Halloween, we had no problems at all there, as i know most of the security and management. I could get proper permission aswell as giving them risk assessments! London is a big place and there are endless places to see and that we can bock in as long as we get permission from the relevent authorities and owners. The skate park along the Embankment is a great place for us to go to, also if people want to travel there is the sights of Greenwich, cutty sark is good for bocking and as Jason mentioned we could try around the 02 Arena. Of course there is no way i can do this all by myself, im not superwoman and definately not the most organised person around. And these are just some sugesstions. None of the other CB meets have ever been done by one person alone, have they?! Rain has never been a problem at any of the CB meets in the past, so why should it be now! JELLY X
-
Now your just being silly .... Naz on stilts
And face-2-face who'd dare take me on ?
Me on stilts in a meet with u sometime soon.... Probably the same likelihood of that happening as you bouncing around on your fusions or mini fusions :p
But joking aside, jelly if there's anything I can do to help lmk
-
some good stuff Jelly
Suggest you keep most of the bocking stuff to as few boroughs as possible which would cut down on the communication needed to gain support and also provide a bigger media impact for the area.
Also agree use known contacts at every opportunity as this helps smooth the way.
Locally approach the Sports Development or Community Cohesion/Development officers at the Council for support. If you outline the plan you will get support I am sure.

Lol, you can try a bocking road trip but you are going to find it almost impossible to do and arrange, Good luck! As for dates i have booked the 22nd and 23rd of August off for CB. Cant do any other dates as im super busy. jelly x
-
omg jelly i so hope i can come but i have a feeling that my mum will say no, cos im off to the racing school on the 24th August :S
Love
Mini Ellis xxxxxx
-
is the dates that jelly said the actual dates as im going to be hopefully starting a new job soon and wants to book the time off work for it, somebody said about holding CB 2 weeks maybe more earlier then the previous 2 as it rained at the weather was better 3 weeks before hand
>>> i hope ET's back for CB if he is i will 100% buy you at least one beer ET
I don't think a road trip is very do able if im honest, as not every1 who bocks lives in the same place would be hard to all meet up the same place and then get home would become very expensive as FUN as it would be,
>>> Jelly dont forget were drinkin jagermisters
oh yea just realised if we do CB on the 24th n 25th its my bday on the 24th be an awesome way to spend my birthday not so much bothered about location at the min aslong as its not Norwich but any ideas as to when this will be done
-
The plan was for it to be the 3rd weekend in August always which would make it August 15/16...but Ihave no idea where this comes from lol

Those dates came from muncher because the only time he could get camping at eaton vale in norwich was for the 23rd or whatever.

so isit the 15th n 16th or 23rd n 24th or what ever
-
These are the only dates i can do, 22nd 23rd August and i have booked them off with work already. People put there holiday requests in early at my job so i would have a lot of problems changing it now, as most of the summer months have been booked up already. jelly x

I've worked out theoretical doses for DK's weight for 2 different sedetives (one is licensed for humans, the other is veterinary only), but sedating him would be highly illegal, as well as stupid and dangerous considering his size (no offense DK), so I won't post it for that reason...
Just incase there are any nutters on here who feel like breaking into vet practices and stealing some sedetives (You never know)

Yeah, done on a dosage for someone around 70-100kg, give or take a bit.... you're what, 180kg DK? So of course it's ok for you to take 3, 2 would be metabolised before it got all the way round your body.

I would quite like a capital bocking personally..I would offer to help jelly it's just I got a lot of EA stuff to sort out. If I sort it and have some time to spare later on then I will offer my services :D
If its gonna be all about drinking then they may aswell call it capital drinking. But I would pick a meet with the EAs over a drunken night out any day :D Lets bock!

The plan was for it to be the 3rd weekend in August always which would make it August 15/16...but Ihave no idea where this comes from lol
ET ?
Yes it was decided from the first year that every year it would be the 3rd weekend of August. That way people can plan well in advance....I dont see why peeps are fcuking about with the date.
Jelly have you decided to run with it? I suggest you just get the event sorted and post the details, this thread is past ridiculous.

God ET I hope you are back for this years. Be so good to have you back and I want a big kiss! Bobman too! Sprog wont admit it but meh. :)
-
locky if ET's back ill kiss you an well all kiss sprog an make him admit it

big kisses all round, and Sprog can just 'pretend' to dislike it :Cbiggrin:
-
I'm safe !?
Who would want to kiss me ?
-
locky if ET's back ill kiss you an well all kiss sprog an make him admit it
I did last years CB, not sure if he admits it.
-
well if we are in london for the weekend, i think us adults should go out and let ET show us where to go :Cchatterbox:
-
okay ET! enough with the attitude, I said I'd HELP if people wanted to have it in London, but everyone one is Umm-ing and Arr-ing. They are all making suggestions for other places but not really giving me a definite for the London meet or not. I had helped muncher with the norwich preparations only to be told 'ok its a NO - GO' because of bans and such. Muncher wasnt happy and neither was I. So i thought if London was what people wanted to do then i could lend a hand, you seem to think i can pull it all out of my ass on my own. Im not going to do it on my own and im not going to start doing things for people if they cant make their bloody minds up. Sorry, im not you ET, If you dont like it then you sort it!
-
Right, enough arguing and b***hing.
CB09 is in London. This so far we have concluded.
CB has always, and will always, be on the third weekend of August:
2007 - 19th
2008 - 16th + 17th
2009 - 15th/16th (or both)
For those asking/moaning about holiday dates - you should have looked at the previous dates for CB and it would have been pretty obvious what weekend it would fall on. If ET is back, wicked, if not I'm assuming it will fall on me, Locky and Becky to run the show again, as people are simply throwing ideas and not actually doing anything. Muncher did some awesome work with Norwich, and its a shame it got cut but hey, life sucks and you gotta deal with it.
So as such, we need one thing from you lot. Do you want one day or a weekend?
Simply reply to this topic with "A single day" or "A weekend". We don't need to know anything else. We have the location, once we know whether we are doing a day or a weekend we can decide on where we are going within London and a route. Personally I don't think there is enough in London to do ON bocks for 2 days. Sure we can wander around but people are like "lets do the eye!" and stuff - where are you going to put your bocks? Have you worked out costs? Is it viable? We need to think these things through. If it does become a weekend I think it will be one day organised bocking, 1 day "go do what you want".
I think if we did the same as 2007 and just notified Police we would be there, it would be okish and we shouldnt have too many problems unless we venture onto private land (e.g. the south bank)
I'm in a bad mood, I apologise if this came off rude.

Oh Jelly calm down dear, I wasn't actually giving you attitude....as if I would dare!!! I was just hoping you would make a descision but it looks Like Sprog has jumped in to save the day....everyone should kiss Sprog at this years CB....make sure you slip him some tongue :Cyes:
-
Sh'up ET :Ctongue:
-
well to help the decision along, here's my vote
if it's one day-london
if it's 2 then wherever else(*assums it'd be cardiff again*)
i'd rather it be 2 days, makes the travel worth it, and generally more fun for everyone
oh and a pre-emptive thankyou to whoever ends up organising it, doing a great job so far, so keep it up and it should be good
-
I'll speak my mind here as if that somehow lets me off from upsetting people.
It's not going to be in Cardiff this year. Probably Cardiff 2010.
Due to me being very busy with the welshbockers this summer I'm virtually out of this years organising. Assuming I attend, I'll be more than happy to volunteer to help things on the day.
I wont be coming for 2 days. It's just not an option for me at the moment.
I think if its a 2 day event it needs to be split into 2 days properly. Have 1 day dedicated to the bocking and make it the actualy event day and have the 2nd day as a mix of things or whatever else it is people want to do and go.
Because we're potentially going to have 150+ bockers here I think its essential we need to get it cleared by the council(s), the police and the royal parks assuming we're in hyde park. This shouldnt be a terribly difficuly task but it is going to take someone with some significant local knowledge which isnt me. For example if I called the parks people up and asked then they suggested "why dont you use st james's park instead" I would have no idea if it would be a good thing or a bad thing. Sure I could come back and ask you guys and we could discuss it for another 11 pages but thats not what CB needs. It needs someone to make the decision there and then.
Getting someone who knows the area of london pretty well and someone who is happy to contact the council, police etc is what we need.
Without it, the discussion is pointless.

I said i would Help didnt I!!! And yes im in a very bad mood. I cant just click my fingers and have it all out in military precision. I said the dates i did because there is 5 weekends in August and 22nd 23rd would be the third FULL week. Yes it needs planning and permission, that is why i got p**sed off with ET when he said for me to put it up already as this thread had got 'PAST RIDICULOUS' its not my fault or problem, but when someone says they would Help out, dont treat them like a f***g c***.
-
love you jelly xx

who dosnt love jelly
just got to make sure kelly dont hear that.

I never said it was your fault or your problem, but the thread is past ridiculous....thats not your fault either but thats how it is. Stop being so defensive I have already explained I wasn't having a go at you. I probably didn't write it the way it was meant to come across for that I apologise. I haven't now or ever treated you like a f***g c***.....
-
jelly keep smiling i know you can do this,
im pretty sure the either Jelly or Sprog is taking control over organising this or both which would be an awesome bonus either way who ever is going to organise it jus shout if you need any help even if it is jus a rant down the phone at sum1 or screaming at them when you get angry much love to every1 xxxxxxxxxxx
-
Right to get this sorted,
Does anyone actually object do the weekend jelly has booked off work?
I mean, is it a serious problem for anyone to get to london on that weekend.
I'm talking about August 22nd and 23rd.
-
no id prefer it as my birthdays on the 24th lol makes more sense to me to have it on the 3rd full week same as it does for becky so lets do it then
-
f###g c###, It meaning, flung cows! :Ctongue: not what naughty words you were thinking! Sorry to get stressed people, im dont like getting stressed, im jelly, im happy, bouncy mad jelly. love you EVERYBODY. jelly x

If Jelly sorting it there's got to be beer involved and I'd have a extra day to recover :approve:
Besides if Jelly so kind to get things start and happy to kick peoples b###s to do their share of the work.
Everyone as time to book that weekend off and sort transport out there's always going be poeple who can't make it what ever weekend it is.
But lets not forget who pick the date incase it rains heavy then we'll just have to see if Jelly can float on the Thames :Claugh:
Only Joking Jelly .... we all know jelly sink in water :Ctwitcy:

Read the topic.
Muncher and I have had a chat, we're gonna look into campsites in and around London for a weekend event, I'm gonna see if there's any up near my uni (Just off the M25 South Mymms services - about 20mins by train to Kings Cross). We're currently looking into having a big organised day on Saturday, then Sunday people can pretty much do as they please in groups or alone.
-
If Capital Bocking was moved to anything but the 16th August i'd be there.. 22nd / 23rd great for me. I think London would be OK.. Might be nice to organise a night out aswell to chill out a bit after Bocking all day. I'm not a great camper but don't mind going out in town all night and spending no more than 2 hrs in a tent!! If anyone else wants to join the trip club your more than welcome. :Ctongue: :Cyes:
-
I dont think there are any clubs that live up to Mercy, Trip! :Cwink: Muncher has called Crystal Palace arena and Westcroft gym and is waiting for feedback from them. Has also found a reliable source for PLI! Jelly x
-
right then boyos..
westcroft gym and surrounding boroughs are a no.
Crystal palace rang me back only to tell me to send them an email. tw**s.
so email sent tonight - will let you know when they reply.. will be able to do more next week as have 2 exams this week.
Pete says - keep on trucking...
-
Wicked Pete :)
I'm up at uni for 3 weeks from April 25th so can meet up any weekend in London for planning and whatnot if needbe :)

Right to get this sorted,
Does anyone actually object do the weekend jelly has booked off work?
I mean, is it a serious problem for anyone to get to london on that weekend.
I'm talking about August 22nd and 23rd.
I really want to come along to this as i have never attended a meet with more than 6 other bockers, only problem is V-Festival is on 22nd & 23rd and i have tickets :(
-
Yes can we confirm a location and a date ASAP
as on the 24th August i start at the british racing school =[
so i need to know if i can go the day before kinda thing
Hannah xxx
-
I had a quick chat with Muncher at the walk for life about CB, hopefully we'll get it all locked down within the next few weeks, once we've both finished all our exams for college/uni.
It's definately London this year, definately one day wandering around like the last time, with possibly a second day in a big sports centre if we can get one.
-
possibly a second day in a big sports centre if we can get one.
if you need help locating a gym in that area i'm around form the start of august, with lots of free time, only useable 'gym' i know of is the school in hanworth, but uh that's a little small
might be possible to get the big sports centre in guildford, but a)it's expensive and b)they'd probably want insurance and the like
-
is there an actual set time/dates yet? because its kinda getting soon and im going to have to book flights etc...
-
Yes. 22nd/23rd August. It's in the thread.
It's in London. That's as far as I've got.
-
ok so thats a definate. anything happening or is nothing sorted yet :P once we know what we're doing could we post and itinerary somewhere so everyone can see? Sorry if im bugging everyone but i want to make sure everything's done and its as big of an event as last year :Cwink:
-
definately on those days, sorting out route plan and other specifics currently...oh and nothing been done about t-shirts yet
and anyone that knows what the arrangements with the police etc were for cb07, pretty please say so it can be sorted out
-
there were none. We contacted the met and they said ok but dont block any roads. Assuming this year will attract as many bockers as last year or more, than I dont think the same rules apply.
-
anything happening or is nothing sorted yet :P
People meeting up, bocking, chatting, etc. That's it. That's CB. There was the possibility of a gym but I feel it is far too late now to even contemplate booking one, let alone one for 100-odd people
once we know what we're doing could we post and itinerary somewhere so everyone can see?
Could we? You organising it then? Sorted.
As far as I'm aware there's no need for an itinerary for CB. All you need is a date, and a start location/time. Of which one has been stated, and I would expect the other to be Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park, 11am. Like last time.
i want to make sure everything's done and its as big of an event as last year :Cwink:
Do it yourself then.
oh and nothing been done about t-shirts yet

ET phoned the MET, they pretty much said "Whatever" and didn't really care. I'd suggest doing the same this year.
Darf, thanks for getting this rolling, thanks to Muncher too for doing some legwork :)
-
what colour the tees gna b n how much i think they should be black and white
-
2007 T's were Red, or Blue for Organisers
2008 T's were White, or Black for Organisers
I'd suggest 2009 follows the same theme, maybe with green and yellow?
Infact, sod it. Done.

i dnt look gd in either tho lol
-
The beauty of zazzle is that you can pick any colour you like :P not that I suggest we all do but..bugs are attracted badly to yellow, somewhat to that bright green and orange too. Fair do's I spend lots of time on the airfeild where the bugs love but I wont wear those colours now lol
Sorry :Cmask:
-
Spud, the beauty of organising one colour is that it will look much better if everyone wears it rather than everyone just picking random colours :P
-
The beauty of zazzle is that you can pick any colour you like :P
Nope, the colours are locked :P
-
Where are the girls in this logo Sprog! :P hehe Looks good to me! :) I just found my tshirts from the previous two years.. taking them to aubria with me! :)
Glad to see its finally going to happen-thanks to anyone whos put/putting effort into organising it! Hope it all goes well! Really upset I cant make it this year :(
-
Darf, thanks for getting this rolling, thanks to Muncher too for doing some legwork :)
:D haven't really done that much really, just given things a swift prod from behind
(thanks for t-shirts sprog, your oh sod it moments really pay off)

If people prefer Green, Organisers can have yellow, or whatever colour they choose and I'll put it up.
If you want to do spreadshirt, go for it, the 2008 organiser ones came from there.
-
thanks for the numbers guys, i'll try and get that sorted tomorrow or whenever
shall we say CB on the 23rd, to avoid that protest march on the 22nd? (see the link jason gave)

touche XD, glad someone's thinking of these things...in that case i say 22nd, and hope we don't bump into them, doesn't look like we would
-
ET phoned the MET, they pretty much said "Whatever" and didn't really care. I'd suggest doing the same this year.
They said as long as it was less than 2 coach loads of people it would be ok. I would still call them and let them know.
-
oooh sprog, bit touchy there but fair play :P. i just wanted things to be sorted as its getting kinda near LOL. If you dont want me involved just say :P

Nah, I'm just getting a bit fed up with the fact it's highly unlikely I'll be there this year, yet I'm still helping to organise it, and people are demanding info and that things be done, when they're sat on their asses doing sod all themselves. Hence why I'm very thankful to Darf and Muncher for offering to help with organising it :)
-
i offered to do stuff if you wanted help so dont b***h lol
im off on holiday from work for a week was due to go to Aubria but stuff came up and i now cant so if you want nethink doin while im off let me know as will have more time to do it but will help right up untill the day if you want,

-

-
If theres anything I can do to help, Id love to!
I dont live far from london either, so its not a pain to get to if anyone needs me to go and sort somthing in person ....
Do we need to make a list of all the people who are going?
Im not trying to butt in or anything coz its obvious that you lot know what your doing.... just thought id shout to say, "HEY IM HERE TO HELP, IF YOU WANT" ~just tell me what to do *MWAH*
-
well why dont we just do same meet up place and time as the first London one 11am at speakers corner thats one thing solved so can i now have a organiser tee for making such an important decision lol
No because I said that on the previous page :P

well if people want pink shirts, how about a pink shirt design?
i vote yellow with green for organisers, because the designs done and they're sat waiting to be bought, job done move onto the next thing
bexx: a simple thread with either a poll to say yes/no (don't really need names, chasing up 100 odd people on the day would be hell in a sandwich) or a post either yes/no only type thing, keep discussion out of it
and while you're at it add
saturday 22nd august (as no-one's said no to it, and at least 1 good reason not to have it on the sunday)
11am-speakers corner(hyde park) (i'd be arriving via waterloo around 9:30/10am anyways, so optional meetup there an hour beforehand?)
(i'll throw up a googlemap of the route or something...watch this space :D)
t-shirt links(once colours have been decided, rather not spend ages arguing over a detail like that)
link to this thread for valid discussion, as to keep it uncluttered and not have another candidate for pro-jump forums longest thread award
that'd probably do it for now...
-
saturday 22nd august (as no-one's said no to it, and at least 1 good reason not to have it on the sunday)
thought it was the 22nd AND 23rd ?
-
nope, think the main reasons for just one day are that there's not enough stuff to do round london (aparently), no cheap camping, and there was gonna be a gym meet organised for one of the days, but that didn't get sorted/would be completely ridiculous with the amount of people expected to come
i'll be up for a 2nd day of it though, if anyone else fancies doing a london meet
-
iv told my mum its 22nd and 23rd lol, where is everyone staying though my mum is wondering if i can go because she doesnt know how we will transport the bocks on a plane :/ id be up for a meet on the 21st and 23rd as i think il be arriving on the 21st stay the night 22nd bock bock bock then 23rd evening il leave. not sure but :P
-
Ok... done the poll and info Thread! woop-- so all you go tell us if your comming!
Im up for bocking on saturday and sunday ......
Ive got floor space/duvets and blow up beds, if anyone is stuck for a place to stay ... i only live about 30-45mins out of london ..... so not too bad.....althought cant have the entire herd over... i only live in a maisonette :P
darf- Theres LOADS of stuff to do round london.....
-
By stuff i assume he means bocking stuff.
Are there any really good bock spots?
Could be an idea to make a list of bock spots so people know whats available.
-
well there's round central london, think cb07, and a few other places, could have like a greenwich area meet aswell or something, but lets keep organising that seperate, to make cb plans much easier mmkay?
anyone else got thoughts on the t-shirts? (if you object to yellow with green for organisers you hereby fully commit to sorting out an alternate design etc :D)
-
i vote yellow with green for organisers, because the designs done and they're sat waiting to be bought, job done move onto the next thing
AGREED.
T-shirts are done and sorted, End of. People should not be worried about something so trivial. Focus your suggestions on where we can go in London and what we can do, people!
-

they fit nicely in a suitcase if you dismantle them.. you just have to build them again when you get here :)
-
why dont we basicly stick with the routine of having a set route similar to 07's one but try and add a few more things in to go to like milenium eye etc things we didnt go to the first london CB
if we do a 2 day event would be less time focused but could run outta things to do but i know if we find a good place with stairs benches etc we will all have fun jumping over down onto stuff etc so could easyily spend a good couple hours in one spot i dont know london well enuf to think of a place to do that but im sure sum1 would
-
there's no point in going to the eye, it'd be a trip over one of the bridges (most have steep stairs either end, and are pretty thin walkway-wise, not friendly to a horde of bockers), and there's really nothing there apart form too many tourists paying too much for a fairground ride
1 day for cb, sort out a meet on the next day if someone steps forward to do it (no thanks, but i'm up for meets anytime)
-
I'm not sure people will agree with me on this but CB07 was about getting our sport out there and noticed and we definately did that. To me though CB is about the bocking, meeting people you know only online and bouncing ideas off one another. I would suggest going to trafalger square again as even with a massive indian dance thing going on, we made our own room which was quite safe even with a few hundred people crowded around watching us. This sort of space and environment gave everyone a chance to have a bounce and do their thing, and many of us could not flip then.
I think the London Eye is a bad idea, Buckingham palace seemed ok but I wouldnt stay there long. Somewhere with lots of space and to be honest if its dry, I'd take advantage of all the grass in hyde park for as long as possible.
Maybe even see if a single crash mat can be sourced from somewhere as many people have still never really experienced a gym session or tried new moves on a crash mat. Just please have someone off stilts who can supervise it constantly.
-
I think the London Eye is a bad idea
They have lovely security men at the London Eye, and in fact most of the South Bank, who will not allow any form of bouncing to take place anywhere other than in the skatepark... which would accommodate at most 3 or 4 people. So Id stear well clear of there, unless you have magic permission from them (ET/Flybaby/I worked for the aquarium one eve and they couldnt get the permission)

Becky what do you mean by 'dismantling' them - taking off the cuff bars?

Damn! i will be at V-Festival on the 23rd & 24th :( was really lookng forward to this what was wrong with the 15th 16th weekend?

Theres nothing wrong with that weekend TBH its just that the 22nd and 23rd have already been decided on... sorry!
-
I'm off and around just have to agree it with the wife
-
Becky what do you mean by 'dismantling' them - taking off the cuff bars?
She means DISMANTLING :D
Take the springs off. Take the kneebars off. Fold the lower frame up so it's flush with the footplate. They should fit then I would expect, if not then split the footplate area and upper frame as well.

oh god. seems complicated to me xD i think the suitcase i took to vietnam will fit them in with extra clothing - il try that before dismantling beyond return ^^
-
It's p**s easy, it requires 7 bolts to be removed for the springs, and 4 for the kneebars. That's all. :)
-
or you can do the springs with only 6, but it gets a tad more fiddly, but it saves you taking off the hoof
-
you're both over complicating it, you can do it with just 2 bolts, just leave the mounts and hoof attached to the spring, unto the top frame mount and the joint at the top of the hoof bar. done.
-
bexx wer bouts do u live n could i crash on ur sofa the night b4 cb n train in with u on the day ill b goin home on the 23rd tho as need to be home by the mornin on the 24th for my bday lol xxxxxx
-
I think I can make it, but if it's only for a single day it'd better be organised, otherwise I'd feel let down coming all the way down from Manchester.
Very demanding of sum1 whos not offering to help themselves, as wev all said allready you odnt need organisation for a good meet bockers bounce (bad wording) ideas off each other when bocking like jumping up and down stairs over benches etc encouraging people to do things they didnt think they would be able to do most groups will meet up for the sake of a meet without any entention of doing anythink or going any where specific just go with the flow, i agree some form of organisation is a good idea but i wouldnt say it had better be done if your not sure about coming dont bother if you dubt the quality of a meet sorry if i sound harsh just i know theres alot of people putting alot of effort into this
-
in regards of organisation: we have date/time, and a vague idea of where to go/what to do, i haven't done notifying the police etc, but if the numbers stack up like they currently are, then it'll be only like 50-60 bockers there, probably not the best thing to say oh there'll be about 100 of us, then not have that many
but we are trying our hardest to make this a good one, despite (personally) being a couple of hundred miles away and having other things to do aswell
-
Darf yet again mate if you want any help with anythink let me know and ill do my best'est'est to do it an help anyway i can do
-
Dosen't matter how many come on the day or if it rains (rained for the 1st CB)
I have been to meets with only a few people in london (only 3 once Tok, Kentlee and me) and had more fun than you could shake a stick at
And Halloween must count as one of my all time faves up there with both CB's and there were only a handfull of us and I couldn't bounce due to a trampoline accident but I will remember it for ever
It's not how many or where it's what you make of it on the day that counts sometimes less organized means more fun
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
To get them to Mallorca last year, and Aubria this year I took the knee bars out, took the hoof off the spring, and took the spring off - only way it would fit... its a lot of hassle though!
-
How many are you expecting to go this year?
and is it on the 22nd because DK told me it was on the 12th.
DC

may i just ask whats acctually going to happen, i havnt said im not going but i havnt said i am but i dont wanna go to london and for it to just be rubbish,
sorry if i have posted this in the wrong place but there are TOO many CB threads and i just cant see this CB being as good as last year,
any ideas on where we are going?
anyone know any good bocking spots?
-
Just get you ass there. We'll make our own fun = you, me and some lubricant. ;)
-
I still don't know if I am going. I will probably decide closer to the time.
I think CB will just be a big meet. But thats ok if thats what you are expecting I guess.
:spudT:
-
I agree with Carlos Fandango. I have no interest in the hassle and organisation of getting all the welshies to london for everyone to stand there and go "oh look, all the tourists have stopped to watch us".
CB is more than that.

Do hope you and spud can come carl as well as the other EAs and everyone else on this forum... Im sure its gunna be a laugh no matter how good last year was ......
If everyone is going to keep going on about it "not being as good as last year" and about "Oh im not going coz its going to be s**t .. bla bla bla bla"
Talking like that will make it s**t! If we all can just get together and BE POSITIVE its gunna be just as good as last year we'll make it better each year to follow!
peace out XX

Cannot make for the second time out of the Country.
For what it is worth a gathering of this size really does need some serious planning and support from other organisations if it is to grow and continue to be new.
The planning really needs to be started in September for the following August. I also think that it needs a group of people who will meet regularly or at least communicate regularly as a sort of steering group to make decisions and give direction otherwise it decends into multiple ideas with no real action
-
I like the enthusiasm but previous CB's have taken a lot of organisation and planning. Much more than this years. It may well be a really really good meet. I may regret not going if I don't but however good the meet actually is it can't be better than last years. Why? People are not confident that CB will be as good as last year and less people are going. It may be awesome for those that go but it can't be as successful because it is only awesome for a small amount of people. That's if it is awesome. All meets are fun but CB should go a little further than that. You enthusiasm really is great but to say it will be better than last years, with such little planning might annoy those who have put so much work into previous years.
I think clive is spot on.
CB is in the summer, that's reason enough for me not to go. It's soaring season and I like to make the most of it while I can. Bocking has the other 8 months of the year.

Agreed Clive, that's how we did it for CB08, I think the day after CB07 we'd already chosen Cardiff Bay as a venue and decided on it being a 2 day event. Some things were organised last minute, mainly due to Cardiff City Council "forgetting" about CB, but it had been in the planning stages for at least 10 months. I think last year we maybe pushed the barrier of CB too far, and both Locky, Becky and myself simply didn't have the time to organise this year's event.
People still kept asking us what was going on with regards to this year (I think because we'd been involved in sorting out 2007 and 2008, it was assumed we'd be doing 2009 as well), which is why I've eventually very hastily cobbled together a date, time and location from various suggestions with the help of a few others (and I am very greatful for them for taking on different roles and really getting it going), just so there will be a CB this year. Hopefully next year we can have it on par with 2008 again, but it depends if people are willing to make the effort and really get organising as early as possible.
-
I saw loads of images of CB last year and it looked amazing, but unfortunatly i cant make it this year, was really looking forward to it.
You able to do it in cardiff again next year looked really good and like you had an amazing time :)
-
Cardiff was a hell of a pain to organise though, which is why we're not going back again this year, mainly to give Locky a break, stop him from going insane and blowing up the Welsh Assembly. We'll see how this year goes and decide from there, I would love to take it back to Cardiff, but it's mainly up to the Welsh guys as it's their area so they know best how to sort it all. Plus they have a hell of a lot on this year and probably next year, so it all depends on that too.
-
Did you have to ask permission from Cardiff City Council? or was it just a get up and go sort of thing?
DC
-
Locky got permison from the council and worked very hard to do CB 08 im gutted i never made it looked amazin i was close to driving to cardiff on the day but lake of funds when i went to get petrol stopped me
I hope people come to this year's but at the same time i know well have fun even with just a few of us there's allready some of the best going

Sprog (hopefully)
People need to put more faith into the event i mean how many people have been to a meet where its been 2 or 3 people and had a really good day bockin i didnt go to CB 08 so i dont know first hand how good it was it lookedamzing and wish id made it there im going to have a good time just think everyone else should agree i know theres not a set out day for it but i dnt really think it will matter bockers allways have fun when 2getha
Also im willing to help organise the 2010 one if anyone so wishes me to do anythink or help in anyway im starting to get a fair amount of free time now lol anyways i hope people do decide to come but at the same time im going for a good day and ihope to see you all there
-
Hope the 2010 one is in cardiff, my parents got a place up there might be able to borrow it and put everyone up for the weekend.
And its closer for every except maybe EA bockers.

-
And its closer for every except maybe EA bockers.
And those in london :D I'm sure its further for quite a few people actually, at least easier to get to.
:spudT:
-
Lol, o well is over a year away yet :P
for all we know Bocks could be banned by then :O
that would be a sad day, lots of protests :D
DC
-
Right folks lets get behind the guys that are trying to organize it this year
To put it in perspective
CB 2007 was a meet in the park followed by an organized walk stopping at some main points in London and peeking in Trafalgar Sq
Fun was had by all and we all wanted to do it the next year
CB 2008 was an well organized bock fest that seemed to go on for several days and again fun was had by all but Cardiff was a no go this year
CB 2009 has got off to a bad start due to no one being sure where to hold it and when but there are plenty of good spots in London and we will have loads of fun if we want to
But it depends on us being possitive so lets help the organizers if only by thanking them for stepping up to the plate so late in the day to make sure it happens
I will be there even if it is just a meet if only to see old friends and I will enjoy it because I want to
Nice to see you back tundraH I thought you didn't love me any more :Claugh:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:

(also there should be quite a few meets round london etc in august if people are up for it, and i don't have too much else to do)

i would organize a meet but i have no clue whatsoever what to do. looked at the t-shirts, sexy meat. can we add our names onto the back?

Hey well ... considering which people are up for a bock meet on sunday 23rd, Ill go .... but tbh alot of people dont even know if they are going to CB --- Im hoping that the ppl stayin at mine might be up for a meet the next day too.
T-shirts are pretty cool! yay -- how do we buy them ..? do we all pitch in ? or does someone just buy them?
-
For what its worth, I should have bocking as a recognised sport within the next few months and I believe if the sports council of wales accept it then sport england and scotland will too :) Once that is done I shall meet with whoever seems to be interested and practical within the council and sports council to do CB2010 in cardiff again.
Cardiff Council totally let us down at the last minute in 2008 and I really dug my teeth in and p**sed off a LOT of them :) I do it so well.
If people are happy for 2010 to be in Cardiff again then I'll happily do the leg work and make it indoors and outdoors some way, some how.
The only problem is camping again, as there are simply not enough campsites in cardiff that can cope with the demand.
Anyway back to this years....
-
I was speaking to Caro about the t-shirts earlier and i think she said you have to get them done yourself

Locky im well up for what you prupose for 2010, will be glad to give you a hand anyway.. after this years that is. :)

Sounds awesome, Locky, good work.
Anybody using Sothwest trains to get to London, should go to this website http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/SWTrains/News/_midsummermadness.htm (http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/SWTrains/News/_midsummermadness.htm). To travel that Saturday will only cost you a tenner. :D
It might be a good idea to put that up on the info thread.

I added it to the main info thread and also said about the national express strikes. if anybody else has anything else transport wise to add then go for it.

People like Carl and other EAs are more than welcome to drive down to my uni, park for free and then catch the train into London, as we did with the Climate Change Walk. I'm sure I can get away with 2 or 3 cars parking up for the day.

id be up for a meet on the sunday bexx may aswell while im down not sure we should do london agen tho 2 days in a row is ther newer good near london or nethink but not init
-
its soo far away... *wills time to go faster*
it's really not, i thought my 2 months in wales was a long time, but here i am halfway back to surrey :D
trix: could do somewhere like kingston or staines etc, though staines is full of a certain type of undesirable teenager, and kingston is probably a little small for a big meet, and bocking on the mosaicy type circles down the high sctreet makes the weak decorative bricks break in half
could do guildford, but i doubt the uni would like me arriving with so many people, it's all opendays and suchlikes over the summer
-
If we do have it on sunday can we keep it somewere easy to get 2 as i dont know london to well, cheers :)

-
just to clear it up Capital Bocking is on the Saturday ther maybe a diff meet on the Sunday
-
To make it easy folks London is so big you wouldn't have problems
You could start the day at a different park or I think Glasto said the O2 center and around there is good and that is so far away from the sunday bock you wouldn't even be under the same police station
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
i never even thought about the O2 arena lol

Ok, so tundraH gave you all the main info on that link --- the next question is, where are you comming from? you need to bear in mind that there is a possibility that the trains will be irregular as there are strikes. (this also says this on the info page.) It might be best getting a coach TBH.

Comming from EA somehwere lol. In regards to the strikes I think traveling on the sat will be fine. It is only the first trains between like 5-6am that will be the problem. I will still go by train if I go..

At risk of being redundant, I've gone through all of the forum threads on PJF and collated them into a wiki page:
http://w3bbo.com/bocking/index.php?title=Capital_Bocking_2009
Since it's a wiki, anyone can edit it if there are any updates. Registration is required (anti-spam reasons, there's been a lot of it lately).

there u are --

as with everything else this year: if you want anything extra done, do it yourself, but personally i'd prefer not to be all over the media, and i'm sure there's a couple of others that wouldn't want to have photos taken etc, which brings in all the permission for type stuff
(and on the subject, if anyone doesn't want photos taken of them, it' your personal responsibility, same as your safety)
informe the police that there'll be people around, lady on the phone was utterly dis-interested, and didn't think it was worth even informing the cops out on duty that anything would be going on, so we're probably gonna have some community support officer or something try to move us on somewhere in the day
-
maybe if someone phoned later on in the day or something - might be someone different on the line xD are we doing it on the day of the parade thing? because the police might think we are distracting everyone etc and make us move out.. sorry if im wrong :Claugh:
-
2 things:
1. what time are we expecting to go on till as i have a mates birthday afterwards :P
and
2. ill ask my friend (who is a community support officer) is she can find out what we ought to do.
Peace out

I dont reckon theres a time limit tbh -- we can just all go back when it suits ... ...
Oh hey, you want me to put u on the list then?
-
i've done what we outta do, which is call up and let them know it's happening, got told it wasn't worth calling them and just to get on with it, was kinda rude seeing as i'd taken the time to notify them there's gnna be a bunch of weirdos bouncing around all over the place
time: whenever it goes on till, leave early if you want
-
i hope to be turniong up how ever if it clashes too much with my mates party then i will not be there...
iv been doing some rigning about and i managed to get hyde parks police support area number so i shall ask them if there is any need to inform them of us...
my mate says that the chances are that there will be no need to tell them but i thought we might as well just ask just incase :)
shall not be dropping and specifics on times untill they say its cool
Peace out :D
-
crazy: if you're gonna ring up don't let them say a risk assessment/insurance is needed, as it's not an oficial event as such, just a load of people that happen to be in the same time and place, safety is everyones personal responsibility so feel free to do a risk assessent of yourself if you want
-
lol wasnts going to do anything like that... saftey as you say is a personal thing.. i dont like too much of it but ofc want to avoid things that are going to stop me from doing what i want to do
i work on the fact that common sence is the bigges bit of safty assesments
have how ever decided not to bother ringing as apparently its really not in their intrest (not in their impotance list - vandalism and prostitution are their main two in that area apparenlty)
Peace out
-
vandalism and prostitution are their main two in that area apparenlty
:D sounds like good ol' london to me
-
wow, not been here in ages. So whats happening, i have read the thread i just wanted more info in one post, my eyes are old. jelly x
-
all the info is in the cb info thread :P nothing apart form that really
lots of people are crashing at bexx's and having a party etc, there's a seperate london meet on the sunday, uhmm, think that's about it
oh and the police don't seem to care whatsoever :D
-
The Police not interested in you DG that must be a novelty for you :Claugh: they normally seem to be chasing you :Cbiggrin:
Jason :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:
-
:D surpriingly they don't much, but i can think of a few good reasons why they should be :Claugh:
-
I've just sent emails off to BBC London and The Independent, it might be worth contacting the London Evening Standard too.
-

Mine are velcro, which makes them easier to apply since faux-fur isn't the thinnest of materials around, but if you had plastic ones then a zip would be easier. It also depends if you're having it on the inside or outside edge of the spring.
-
Inside.
I made a quick mock up a min ago but the material keeps slipping, any ideas how to stop that?
Also i found a cool material that is very strong and i rubbed it against a brick walla dn it didnt do any damage in the slightest, so it will be good for my springs :)

My mum made mine (aww bless), she put a strawstring at the top which keeps it secure.

A dry and fine morning with spells of sunshine. It will become hazy at times with perhaps the odd spot of rain. Feeling quite warm with light winds. Maximum temperature 22 °C.
looks like a not too bad day weather-wise
-
Yer cant wait :)
Although the wind may blow me over :p
So hazerdous
DC
-
uh, if just wind can blow you over, sure you're stable enough to wander round london all day? :Ctongue:

I was kidding, not even a truck hitting me could nock me over :Cerr: hmm... that may be abit extreme
