Post by: English-tailor on August 20, 2007, 12:28:36 PM
It will be in London again next year, there will be a different route, Tshirt etc, but along the lines of what we did this year. Put it in your diary

WOOT!! What colour will the T-shirt be?
Title: Re: Capital Bocking sunday 17th August 2008
Post by: Dark Knight on August 20, 2007, 01:32:47 PM
We could all have blue next year and stewards could wear a new different colour !?
That way each year ( we have to do it every year now ) we can have the colour the stewards had the year before and then we only need one new/different colour each year for a stewards t-shirt !

OK boys and girls, I dont know what colour the Tshirt will be for next year just yet. It may also be in Cardiff, not London. I think alternating the Capital may be a good idea and anyone who has bocked in Cardiff will know how fab it is. The Tshirt will be a different colour though ;D

True but has you said SOUTH ? Northerns ( that's that bit above the Watford Gap ) would more than likely find themself's head south first before heading west !?
It's too early to start planing it.

well I am from Leicester and Pinhead is from Brum and we are both going. As for being to early, this year there were people who couldn't make it due to having holidays already booked. This year I want everyone that wants to come to know when it is before they plan summer hols. It will be in Cardiff and I am sure there will be plenty of people prepared to make a weekend of it.

Was thinking the same thing ! A 4 day long weekend two before to look around a a day after to recover ( from bocking not the pub afterwards )  ;D

Post by: Bbmthbloke on August 21, 2007, 04:12:44 AM
There are a serious load of bockers in South Wales.  I went up there last month. Over the 2 days I counted 12, most in the 'welsh bocker' tees, looked most impressive. There were a number of others who couldnt get along on those days. Included would be Dusty, who has also just past her junior model ont her yonger bro and atleast 1 more who has joined since and was in London. Mid Wales has Dawesome ( the guy that did the most flips in London)....

I think you get the picture, its big and organised.  Oh and Uncle Matt also has a mobile disco and mobile inflatable crash mat.  The Bouncer at the nearby Tesco Express scans your goods for you , puts the money in the slot then hands you back your change. To give you a better idea of the bocking area. Think 'Torchwood' , think that big tall shinny metal tower thing that has water running down it.  That is the very place.

If you were planning staying longer in the area, id recommend popping along the coast for a few days. To the Gower or similar.

Wise words Q and the gower is deffo worth a trip down, its an hours drive from cardiff.
I think I'll have to give tescos advanced notice of our weekend lol.

This is our usual lot in cardiff:

I just hope there is facepainting ;D

Oh and update on who is in and about Cardiff. There is alsp Adam ( the guy on the tee), evil mark in swansea ( sadly absent from london but basically dawesome's nemisis --think d**k dastidly v penelopy pitstop ) the bristol peeps just over the bridge.  And the stop-press. VVV soon the bock doc noless! Sprog is shortly off to uni Herefordshire way so if he can find a cheap car And cheap insurance he could well be popping down from time to time.

Not Herefordshire, Hertfordshire! It's above London :P
So I will probably be out bocking with FlyBaby, Jelly, Muncher and the rest of the London gang. I will still visit Lovely Locky in Wales though when I have time :D

Sure was!

I have to say, we go bocking outside the "torchwood tower" almost every dry weekend and not once have I seen any TV film crews filming...apart from when they were filming us.

I did meet DT and ms Tate though and I sold Billie Piper a laptop in my pc world days (she is hotter in real life).

Post by: Bbmthbloke on August 25, 2007, 12:26:23 PM
its a lil ahead yet but am thinkin of spending longer in the area. Was going to take my surf stuff along and spend a few days furthur west. Well that is the ruff plan in my head.

Was thiking more along the lines of these days after the bocking. Reasons being. I like the idea of 'bam' the bocking, then a slower pace after and also if the weather isnt too good I dont want to be spending the days b4 dodgying showers

[/quote]

with the weather being as it has been so far this year i was thinkin of trying to organise a hall at somepoint thruout the winter so we all stay in good bockin practice and are able to do it without trying not to fall over every step we take, a hall in cardiff would be a good idea as we can all flip even if we cant land it can just flip on to a matt lol am looking into a hall now 4 the winter
Title: Re: Capital Bocking Cardiff sunday 17th August 2008
Post by: Bbmthbloke on August 25, 2007, 07:52:50 PM
Locky has an inflatable v portable crash mat  and there is another guy with a proper crash mat  just up in 1 of the valleys ( he has also built a set of steps to hop up /jump off)*. V possible both would be around at the event ;D  Along with the face painter

But before anyone else  mentions --keep to subject guys ( so what we are doing thid winter --new thread ;D)

* I did say,  they really are pretty damned organised around there.

No definate plans have been made yet. As for a hall with crash matts well that might be a possibility for cardiff but it probably wont be apart of Capital Bocking but if you are going up before the weekend locky may be able to sort something out. Capital Bocking will be an outdoor event with some events to take part in next year. Details will be revealed later ;)

Oh you mean it alway rains in Wales ( Wales being apart of Britain )

BRITAIN, the largest island in the archipelago just north of France; the island of Britain contains three countries:
ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, and WALES.

ENGLAND is one of the countries of Britain.
SCOTLAND is one of the countries of Britain.
WALES is one of the countries of Britain.

NORTHERN IRELAND is a jurisdiction having approximately the same status as England, Scotland, and Wales, but on a different island.

I am going to look into group bookings but cant really until i know how many we're talking about.
Etaphotel.com do rooms at £32 a night and can sleep 3 people. thats 11 quid each.
There will be lots of people camping. Again, I'm going to get a deal on this as its a council camp ground.
Title: Re: Capital Bocking Cardiff sunday 17th August 2008
Post by: webmaster on January 03, 2008, 10:40:08 PM
Sounds like a fab deal...
It seems the deals are always changing so keep on looking and you could get a fab deal
I just found the following deal through travel lodge which wasnt there in the morning

SAVER RATE
Family Room (Non-smoking)
Ensuite room with double bed, sofa and pullout.
Sleeps 4 (maximum 3 adults).
£29.00 per night

I am not fused about sharing a room with any guys... I might go about booking my room very soon, then sorting out other crashers after.

Good idea if you want cheap rooms. Is it possible to get a train (or three) there?

Would only need 2 trains. Norwich to manchester then manchester to cardiff.

Last toll road I went on was Dartford tunnel I was looking forward to the tunnel  ;D
It was a brigde  :(
It was OK. I came back the other way and that time it was a tunnel  :woohoo:
It's sound sad but I live in a every flat area and we had nothing like it near us !  :Dark_Knight:

Same no one could get us a  " group booking " !? Find somewhere fairly cheap and could work out cheaper if people come on their own ( or even 2's )  to share a rooms ?  :-\
With all us in tents lets hope it's a lovely warm and dry weekend ( Britain ... warm ...no rain !!! LOL )  :)

There are cheap hotels on the Capital Bocking website

Ghosti, I cant help you being in the south or being 15 but there are lots of people travelling for this event, and family and friends are very welcome too.

Last years event was on a damp sunday and we got 69 bockers. This year I would expect more than double that. There is no route as such. Its being held in an area of Cardiff Bay that is literally a bockers paradise.
I guarantee any bocker at any level will have a blast and learn so much simply from spending time bocking in Cardiff bay.
The website www.capitalbocking.com will be continuously updated with info and details of who is coming and will shortly have some nice videos of cardiff bay so you can see what to expect.

Maybe there could be a topic of the CBC website for poeple to put the ETA's so they could arrange their own meet up before the weekend 2 day meet.

I plan to spend at least a couple of days in and around Cardiff and make it a real holiday out of it. Maybe like I've said arrange a mini meet before hand and see the sights :)

Doh! Red is so great. black makes you so hot and absorbs all of the heat. White reflects the sun a bit but little flies are attracted to it (as long as the T isnt old and mankey lol) but red is a happy medium

You dont have to get a t shirt at all, but compare the 2 photos from london last year outside buckingham palace and I think you'll agree that it looks a million times better with us all in event shirts :)

I'm not saying you HAVE TO buy a t-shirt but I'd never meet anyone and bocked for 10 hours before the meet but I put the shirt on and I was one of them :)
