I was just thinking...any news on the dates?

There is a big juggling convention in Norwich from the 19th to 23rd of august with workshops and stuff being held around the city and mostly at the forum. They have just moved the dates to these. I was just thinking, the forum is one of the best places to bock. If that is full of circussy people then its kinda gonna be out of bounds. Just a thought. But it could have it's benefits also.

You might want to consider replacing 'Capital' with 'Norwich'.....

I thought Norwich was an ok idea and obviously Muncher did too! Ok so its not a Capital and it is quite small but he is blonde so hes got an excuse, but its something. And nothing else was being done. Maybe we could change it to CCB, as in City Centre Bocking. As there is only 4 Capitals in the UK and not much choice to choose from. Where else can we hold it if it has to be a Capital???

England - The capital is London.

Scotland - The capital is Edinburgh .

Wales - The capital is Cardiff.

Northern Ireland - The capital is Belfast.

Why does it need to be a capital?  And if you're going to throw the meaning of the word "capital" argument, may I point out the that actual definition is, "a centre more associated with a particular product, asset or activity than any other place."  It can also be taken to be defined as, "first-rate".  So, why are we limiting Capital Bocking to capital cities?

Its a capital city because when I started it, that was the intention, to have the big meet of the year at capital cities. Its not an arguament, thats just the way it is. I could even understand Birmingham or Manchester as they are the next largest cities in England but Norwich....I really dont understand that.

CB did start off has CAPITAL bocking has in the CAPITAL of England ( LONDON ). But wanting to move it away from London the CAPITAL come to mean MAJOR, BEST and not so much a local more the event itself. This mean that as long as an event is called CB that what it is !!

Capital Bocking is now not a place, it's the event and so could be held anywhere !

You highlight that like it validates your point. Capital Bocking was always an event and not just a location ( as in a singular location) but it's primary intention was, and should still be, to be held in major cities. Its not just a name attached to an event, there is meaning behind it. Whatever arguament yoy put forward, Norwich does not now and I doubt ever will, come into the spectrum that is Capital Bocking.

Erm just to rub salt into a wound for a few people Norwich is a banned location more or less of the two only fairly good locations in Norwich the EA's have managed to get banned from one of them and i personally don't want to have capital bockin in Norwich its not big enough were half banned from there as it is why take 200+ bockers to Norwich to all get stuck in the moat with no were to go be serious

Capital Bocking to me suggests Capital City London, Cardiff, Edinburgh Belfast Paris Etc (last 2 bit to far) we cant change the meaning of the title just to suit an event that a few people want to do, i don't understand how everyone can say that London is 2 far away i mean how many people turned up to the first Capital bocking in the rain aswel' guys just face facts Capital Cities are the best for the event not fake capitals of an area Norwich is no Capital City.

London has the space for us the sites to go an visit to get big crowds to embrace the sport and make it more in front of people faces, London eye for example we never went there the first time round and with a 2 day stint we could pretty much do all of London and to be perfectly honest ET came up with the idea for Capital bocking so without ETs original idea and effort to organise it you probably would'nt have an event to try ripping to pieces

(sorry for all typos)
