Assuming everyone is fine to return to cardiff this year, I'm trying to get confirmed dates and as you know this is usually impossible with cardiff council saying no to every/any date.
Fortunately this year Cardiff is hosting a few olympic football matches and as a result, virtually all other events in the city are not taking place until the olympics is done.
This is by no means definite yet but is everyone happy with August 11th and/or 12th?

12th is great for me, 11 not so good but do-able just, (night shift on the 10th  ) I'm sure I can round up a few NEWCs for this. Ooo a weekend camp that could be fun. |

It's actually looking more like the weekend after. August 18th and 19th.
Cardiff council have a proposed olympics closing ceremony event in the basin on the 12th. I have doubts whether it will actually happen though.

I've never been to Cardiff (or anywhere else in the UK for that matter  ) and who knows: maybe come august I'll be confident enough on my bocks to start showing off, lol! May be a nice idea for a short holiday, so I'm keeping my eye on this thread... Cheers! Ralph |

18th and 19th Greg. Cardiff Council are playing hardball but all I can do is hope they do not have anything else scheduled that weekend for the oval basin.

Oh bockers!  That weekends no good. That makes it unlikely the NEWCs can come then.  |

I've created a facebook page simply because it reaches more people in a quicker time than the forum. I will still post information and details here so no worries. The facebook page also has lots of pics and videos from previous Capital Bocking events http://www.facebook.com/pages/Capital-Bocking/226329440795977and a twitter account: @capitalbocking |

CB is slowly creeping up on us. I don't know how many are coming but is there any interest in organising a camp site this year? I've got a contact who can let us have a scouting camp site if it's still available, and only 10 mins drive from the bay.
We have a film production company wanting to come and film the event. It's not for TV and I cant really say much more than that until its confirmed.
I was also thinking of maybe doing a proper bocking flashmob in the city centre, starting with one lonely bocker who genuinely is not aware of CB or that there are lots of other bockers about to jump out and join him. What do you think?

Yes it is the 18th and 19th.
There is still a chance I might be able to get us our own campsite but it's not looking good. I will keep trying and let you know asap.
If I cant get one then its gonna be a case of everyone booking a pitch at the only campsite in cardiff. I'll post details on this but its a small place with only about 30 pitches.
