Assuming everyone is fine to return to cardiff this year, I'm trying to get confirmed dates and as you know this is usually impossible with cardiff council saying no to every/any date.

Fortunately this year Cardiff is hosting a few olympic football matches and as a result, virtually all other events in the city are not taking place until the olympics is done.

This is by no means definite yet but is everyone happy with August 11th and/or 12th?

12th is great for me, 11 not so good but do-able just, (night shift on the 10th

)
I'm sure I can round up a few NEWCs for this.
Ooo a weekend camp

that could be fun.

It's actually looking more like the weekend after. August 18th and 19th.

Cardiff council have a proposed olympics closing ceremony event in the basin on the 12th. I have doubts whether it will actually happen though.

I've never been to Cardiff (or anywhere else in the UK for that matter

) and who knows: maybe come august I'll be confident enough on my bocks to start showing off, lol!

May be a nice idea for a short holiday, so I'm keeping my eye on this thread...

Cheers!
Ralph

so is it goint to be the 18th and 19th coz i will need to rebook my holiday

Locky · « **Reply #10 on:** April 26, 2012, 06:12:58 PM »

18th and 19th Greg. Cardiff Council are playing hardball but all I can do is hope they do not have anything else scheduled that weekend for the oval basin.

SNuD · « **Reply #11 on:** April 27, 2012, 01:35:51 AM »

Oh bockers!

That weekends no good. That makes it unlikely the NEWCs can come then.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again in August :-)

I've created a facebook page simply because it reaches more people in a quicker time than the forum. I will still post information and details here so no worries.

The facebook page also has lots of pics and videos from previous Capital Bocking events

and a twitter account: @capitalbocking

CB is slowly creeping up on us. I don't know how many are coming but is there any interest in organising a camp site this year? I've got a contact who can let us have a scouting camp site if it's still available, and only 10 mins drive from the bay.

We have a film production company wanting to come and film the event. It's not for TV and I cant really say much more than that until its confirmed.

I was also thinking of maybe doing a proper bocking flashmob in the city centre, starting with one lonely bocker who genuinely is not aware of CB or that there are lots of other bockers about to jump out and join him. What do you think?

SNuD · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2012, 12:59:25 PM »

Yeh campsite needed. the only possible way we can get down is straight off night shift on the Sat morning, Bock all day then must sleep before returning to Gog Sunday afternoon, after another bock of course.

billymaya · « **Reply #16 on:** June 15, 2012, 04:49:13 PM »

id def be up for a weekend camp

i was thinking just that this morning one days ok but it makes it a long day so a overnight stay would be great count me in

clive · « **Reply #17 on:** June 15, 2012, 10:13:57 PM »

Jason and i will be there

Greggles · « **Reply #18 on:** June 25, 2012, 01:34:30 PM »

Whats going on i cant get on facebook at work so need updates here

Jason · « **Reply #19 on:** June 25, 2012, 06:57:03 PM »

Yep I would go for a camp site on the saturday night Locky and think Clive will too

Is it still all on the 18th and 19th of august

Jason

Locky · « **Reply #20 on:** June 26, 2012, 12:21:04 AM »

Yes it is the 18th and 19th.

There is still a chance I might be able to get us our own campsite but it's not looking good. I will keep trying and let you know asap.

If I cant get one then its gonna be a case of everyone booking a pitch at the only campsite in cardiff. I'll post details on this but its a small place with only about 30 pitches.

billymaya · « **Reply #21 on:** June 26, 2012, 09:42:47 AM »

anyone got a 30 man tent pmsl

spawnyb · « **Reply #22 on:** June 26, 2012, 01:18:55 PM »

Mine will take 6, so maybe we could join a few together?

muncher · « **Reply #23 on:** June 28, 2012, 02:01:24 PM »

Tent tunneling? That'll be a first!
