This was the last parade !
http://www.spaldingtoday.co.uk/news/Spalding-Flower-Parade-axed.4355579.jp

Their hoping for over 100,000 people coming to watch, TV, Newspapers , Their making a DVD and WE ARE LEADING IT !
PLEASE NOTE ! THEY SAY ONLY 16 IN PARADE !!

It's their 50th so is extra special.
They've ask if we could carry some flag at their " World Tulip Summit " on the same day !?
The parade is a about 4 miles long and at walking speed .
The parade start about 2pm so we need to be at the start field before 1pm
It finishes in Sir Halley Stewart Field.

Here a link to their site
http://www.flowerparade.org/contact.htm
And here's some more !?

Check the gallary on this one !

You can hear the radio live on-line ( on the day in broadcast live from parade )

Don't panic if your new or not very strong and don't think you can handle a flag a bock that far we are all sharing the flags. These flag are "normal" size !?

These people say they can make it. If your names not on it or you can't make it tell me
Dark Knight, Carma , SX Nutta , chocl8 , dr. delicious , trixster , Spud , Charlie B ( +1 ? ) , Tok , theonlysilenthunter , Gixer , Opal , zefee

We needed to be at the start before 1pm. We should get there before so we can have a look at the floats before hand as there will be lots of poeple there so we can show of there too.
This field is where you can park your car ( I can get some free parking ). Should you need one please tell me as I believe these are limited !?

The train station is not across town ( near where it finishes ) there is a bus which cost £1.

If you need more info or I've missed your name off or you can make it reply to this topic.

lol thats a long drive lol. im down in dorchester dorset lol.

[Sx Nutta]

I live in Leicester, but do not have a car, so may have to get a train, for this event!

[Carma]

I'm up for it!!!

-Carma (The Bocking Rocker)

[Paul-Self]

i should be their only couple hours on train plenty of warning so can book it off work etc so 90% i will be their

[Dark Knight]

I've contacted them so they'll give us a place in the parade and that means we'll get write up in the program about us bocking maybe a picture for next years !?
The program not a cheap paper handout but a print colour booklet. It's the 50th so people will buy it to keep ( good promo for bocking ).
Early days the routes about 3 miles but before that the floats are in a field and people look around them, we could entertain people there or go around town, I'll work something out.
It's nice to know that I can tell them I've got people who's thinking of coming 

[webmaster]

Good work DK

[rickbicker26]

naz book the day of work then you'll be able to go for a bounce as well

[webmaster]

I cant even think that far ahead 

[chocl8]

I can do spalding! just down the road compared to you lot 

[Dark Knight]

If they let us into the parade with a float number I think I can get us not only ground crew but mobile ground crew 
So we don't have to carry anything in the parade.I maybe able to rig a video to record us all the way round the parade route !   

[Dark Knight]

The middle of towns closed for the parade and part of the main road form Boston is closed off !
I'll find out when they close it ( most of the morning I think ) but we could meet up there bock about on it !
I'll sort some maps out soon !

[Dark Knight]

Just had an email back from them ( quickly look at it ) . They like the idea thing is they asked what we wear because, the theme for the parade is 'Thanks for the Memories' 
Not to say they wouldn't want us anyway just got any idea's ?

[Joe Legg]

Interesting theme ' memory's of what though' the place? if so i don't even know the place. 

[Sx Nutta]

Just play Thanks for the mmrs by Fallout Boy!! lol, have no ideas here, unless someone knows about history of spalding, or local area!!

[chocl8]

*under the sea*..... haha seeing as it was flooded n all...

[Dark Knight]

I think it more to do with the fact it's the 50th parade, so I'd say memories of the last 50 years !?
From what they are telling me they'd like us in the parade just what are we going the wear !?

One stupid idea is stick tulips on our stlit and call it the 60's flower power ! Told you it was stupid !

[Trixter]

will be there without a doubt have no idea wot to do as a dress up theme tho, does it have to be memories from the last 50 years in spalding if not we could do our own memories from say capital bockin choclate can wear his ripped trousers lol

[Dark Knight]

I'll get back to them ask for what exactly they mean ? 
I think the fact we want to do it just for the fun of it and not asking for anything mean's they may let us anyway ?

[chocl8]

choclate can wear his ripped trousers lol

lol i chucked em away, and im always up for dressing up!  did that sound wrong...?   

[Dark Knight]

I've just had an email from them and they sound like they'd love us in the parade and Bock around afterwards !

They've also ask if some of us would like to carry some flags for them !?

At the same time as the Flower Parade Springfields (start of Parade) is hosting a world tulip summit with people coming from at least 12 different countries.
....could some of your people carry the flags?

I've got to meet up and sort out details, and I know it's along way off but you'd like carry a flag,  we need 11 or more poeple flag carrier !?

If you just want meet up and walk in the pararde ( 3.5 miles ) fine. I'll see if I can sort out a way to take a break ( jump on float/sit down somewhere. ( I'll mod first post when I came get more details ).

[KiyaBob]

Hey just read post and thought 'what DAY is it?' I then looked it up and found its on a saturday.

If they let us into the parade with a float number I think I can get us not only ground crew but mobile ground crew 
So we don't have to carry anything in the parade.I maybe able to rig a video to record us all the way round the parade route !   

Now hopefully by next may I will be a lot better on my PJs but I am always willing (with the permission of my dad) to come and help out.
