Someone mentioned contacting the press. I dont think having the press cover this is a good idea at all. I really dont mean to dampen anyones efforts but it doesnt look terribly good for our sport when an event that has gone from 69 people the first year to over 100 the second year to 30 people in the third year.
I agree. I'm probably going to go to CB, purely because I've been involved with it from the start and it's always been a bit of a laugh, especially to see friends who you haven't seen in many months. What dissapointed me this year was after CB08, Locky, myself and Becky made it pretty clear we weren't going to do any massive organisation on 2009 because of varying commitments (work, clubs, uni, etc). ET (2007 organiser) was unavailable as he was still on the other side of the planet. I very much hoped people would immediately take up on running it, many people expressed interest and suggested locations but nobody really picked up the ball apart from Muncher, and then Norwich was a-go. Sadly it was decided Norwich was too small (and had also banned bocking near the forum - the main focal point), and again the ball was dropped due to various commitments, and I fully respect Muncher for focusing on his college stuff before CB, as it's what I've done this year too.
It was left very late this year and after nobody had really finalised a location, date, etc, I had to simply post up a date, time and start location and throw together a T-Shirt design (luckily I had a rough one I made after CB08). I'm really glad and thankful that you've taken over Bexx and really pushed for it in the past month, but I feel it was all a little too late as a lot of the community excitement had waned by this point. Well done for getting it this far, but I can't help but feel that this year will be a major lowpoint for Capital Bocking, it lacks both the impact and levels of organisation of previous years. It may as well be called "London Meet"
