Meet at Piccadilly train Station between 10:50 and 11:20
or Piccadilly gardens at between 11:30 and 12.

Piccadilly gardens is near the central bus stop and easier if you are driving as the car parks are closer to there.

Hope that's fine. Remember to bring your santa hats!

I'm Mark by the way. I don't mind bein called griff. but thought i should let you know.

Seen as thou I am half organizing it i thought it would be good if i could have a list of every1 who is coming. So we don't go off without any1 or if sum1 gets lost they can get in touch.

If you e-mail me with your names and stuff that would be great. I'll then msg you back with my mob and stuff. Just not too keen just handing it out on a forum.

griffithsm@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks folks.
Mark

Hmm, that's odd. You've got a train that goes from Chester to Piccadilly at arrives at 10:50, yet my home town is on the same line yet arrives at 10:20. I guess it's a high-speed train that skips my station.

I suspect it will go via Runcorn and hence not pass yours???

Just getting some more news in.....
Apparently manchester city centre isn't as bocker friendly as I thought. This is info from a mate.

Most places i had mentioned i hear we may get pulled over by police. but i recon we go out and see what happens. We will just get warned off in most places. However i heard that if we go to the Urbis that we get a fine! sounds a little extreme! but we'll just steer clear of there. apparently near the lowry hotel is one of the best areas.

Hope thats ok with every1!

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't believe the police can tell us to "move on" so long as we're on public property, not actively destroying property (compared to the damage BMX 'grinding' can do to benches and pedestals), and not being disruptive.

I've only been challenged by police once, in Birmingham (I was with Ferretmadmadboy, aka Aaron) who just said stuff about not "bouncing on graves" (which we weren't doing anyway, wtf) when we were around the cathedral on Temple Row. I wasn't in the mood to challenge him and we were on our way anyway, but remember we have rights and often police do go on power-trips.

But lets put it to the test. should be a laugh.

Dear world, I'm bout to head out in manchester and get buggered.
Want to Bock it Up tomorrow but have been foolish and missed all the planning etc. I'll set my alarm for midday tomorrow so that I'm up
however, could someone text me or somethin, 077XXXXXXXX. I'm only down in fallowfield so it takes me like 15 min to get to city centre tops.
However, i do hate taking the bus with my 'risers!
seeyas soon mates.

Woo yay etc.

I overslept, so I didn't get into Manchester until after midday, I met up with Steve et al. by Piccadilly Gardens. There were 5 of us today.

On PRP the PushYourLimits crew said they'd come, but were a no-show (is a shame, we could really do with some flip-capable bockers today what with all the shoppers asking questions).
