Its the easter holidays and i want to get bocking in Kingston(since its so awesome).

On this meetup were going to try to explore a bit more of Kingston instead of sticking around the Bentall Center.
I'm hoping most Surrey Springer members will join and perhaps a few others.
I would like to know what days would be best for you guys, i'm free for the next 2 weeks.

The Route:
- Gather at Kingston Train Station and wait for everyone to arrive.
- Head towards the Bentall Center going down Clarance street.
-Stay at the Bentall Center and Perform to the crowd!
-Head towards the Marketplace.
-Explore while sticking in a group.
-Go back to the Bentall Center area and head to the Mange Tout.
-Eat at the Mange Tout, paninis/wraps where are under £3(cheapest £2) and are buy one get one free, so you could split the money with someone and pay £1-£1.50 to get some lovely food.
-Go to the Bentall Center area and top up on sugar/drinks.
-Bock around the Bentall Center area and the Marketplace since its the best area in Kingston for bocking.
-Explore the area near the Bentall center and Marketplace.
-Bock at Old London road.
-Discuss what to do next(you decide!)
-Have fun!

Hopefully each meet-up will last 4 hours+.
We will probably start at 12:00-100 and end at 5:00 or longer if theres people still wanting to bock!

I think we should aim to do 2 meetup's in the space of the next 2 weeks, each meetup will be on Friday or another more preferable date.

Sorry for my terrible spelling/grammar but I'm busy and don't have time to make this like an essay.

So who wants to participate in the 2 weeks of fun!?

i'm around, so a maybe, will be starting revision tomorrow though, so might only make one, or whatever

Do you fancy doing one on the Saturday as Clive and I can only get away on the Saturday

Having said that is Kingston to busy on a Saturday if so any other options

Only reason why i wasn't going to do it on saturday is because it is pretty busy, but i could probably change it to that.
We did have a meet up on a busy Sunday and it was fine as everyone cleared a space for you and there are some good, non-busy places to bock.

Clives gym/hall!!

Jason · « **Reply #5 on:** April 05, 2009, 11:47:03 PM »

Have to check with Clive on that one Fysh (depends if anything is booked)

If there are quiet areas in Kingston that should be cool but bocking in the busy areas is a sure way to get a ban and we don't want to get banned from there as it's to good to lose

Staines is always busy on a Saturday I don't know what Hampton ct is like on a Sat (lots of fun but very limited bocking areas)

Any other local thoughts

I really want to do this one in Kingston though!
So far ive been in 2 large meetups in Kingston on Sunday/Saturday and it was fine, most people seemed to like us and we even got to walk into stores with no hassle.
The police there seem to have a liking towards us.

We also didnt have any trouble with the crowd, and there pleanty of large quite places.

Biohazard · « **Reply #9 on:** April 06, 2009, 12:47:44 PM »

Hey there. Im a bit worried about travelling with my springs ..... how would you guys suggest carrying them in transport???

I have bought a carry bag for them .. just hoping that itll come in the post by friday

darfgarf · « **Reply #14 on:** April 08, 2009, 10:47:04 AM »

carrying just the springs? or the whole bocks

most people just seem to hook them on our shoulders and walk onto the train like normal

Bexx · « **Reply #15 on:** April 08, 2009, 10:53:22 AM »

Yea sorry i ment the whole bocks

darfgarf · « **Reply #17 on:** April 08, 2009, 12:45:59 PM »

trainline links don't work like that

and just carry them in your hands, assuming you're not bringing much, i tend to bring me, phone/wallet etc, and bocking gear, that i wear all of it. gets kinda cold going back as i never bring a jumper, but such is life

Bexx · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2009, 01:27:28 PM »

poop sorry about the link ... didnt realise it times out

Guess all ya need to know really is that ill be there at 12:09

how long does it take you to get to kingston?

I will be traveling for 2 hours ---

which will be kinda sucky carrying bocks from train to tube to train ... hope im not too tired to bock b4 i get there!

darfgarf · « **Reply #19 on:** April 08, 2009, 03:22:53 PM »

ouch, that's not a nice trip, i've got guildford-surbiton, then bus from surbiton-kingston...dam engineering works

Jason · « **Reply #20 on:** April 08, 2009, 06:31:46 PM »

Sorry folk can't make this one work calls but Clive and I are meeting up at the School on Saturday
So if any of you survive Kingston your welcome to join us

Jason

Fysh · « **Reply #21 on:** April 08, 2009, 07:55:33 PM »

Hmm... Should be able to get to the bock meet on Saturday...

Weather is not looking good for Friday

Forecast is heavy rain:

All we can do is hope... Or go inside somewhere *wink wink* ^^

darfgarf · « **Reply #22 on:** April 08, 2009, 08:17:04 PM »

oh yuck, you're supposed to check the weather before you decide on a date

whatever happens i'll be doing a maximum of 1 meet a week, so might be able to come to the school...though i was quite clostrophobic(sp?) inside last time, too much stuff to bash into

Bexx · « **Reply #23 on:** April 08, 2009, 08:45:21 PM »

how annoying

on every website it says rain for friday

wheres the school meet on saturday at?

Jason · « **Reply #24 on:** April 08, 2009, 09:40:30 PM »

Don't think we'll be inside this time Garf think we are meeting in the car park so long as the weather is good and maybe an excursion to feltham if we all feel like it
