I dont really have many black and white clothes. Uh oh. And I do suck hehe but you know. If I do go I will have to pay for the train at such short notice so like can i claim it back? Still got to check but I want to go. Maybe not for a meet, the money or the insurance more like getting bockers a good name. Let downs isnt what I would call positive.  And yea there were problems thier end but people sooner blaim somebody else (us) than themselves.

Well hopefully you could borrow a black or white outfit from a friend or relative, but it doesn't really matter if you can't. :)
Don't worry about it! :)

I've asked if you'll be reimbursed for your ticket Spud.
I imagine you will be. How much will it be?
I'll let you know as soon as she replies.

Please confirm or deny your attedance as soon as possible! :)

If anyone has Do-it-on-bocks number could they confirm that he's going please, and ask how he's getting there, what kind of room he wants and if he wants annual coverage? :) Anyone wanting annual coverage needs to fill in the online form and e-mail the quote to Kate.

See you Friday. :)

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

Flipping heck, Blood poisoning! :( Sorry to hear that Carl. But don't worry, we only needed 3 people anyway.
And it looks like we may have 4. :) Hope you get well soon! :)

Is everything sorted now or is it still too early to get a final headcount? Obviously it's Toddy and myself.
But can Spud and Do-it-on-bocks confirm that they're going? And Toddy's Kelly will also be joining in
which completes our group. So no more volunteers needed. But confirmations are needed asap please. :)

I have a bit of a problem. It's gonna be a no from me unfortunatly.

Thing is I dont actually know if I will have to be at college on friday. It is the assesment week which means we have to stay local incase there is a problem with any work. I was called in yesterday and have been called in for tomoro. Could be called in tomoro for friday or even worse on the day.

My biggest worry is being called on friday and then getting an unclassified because the internal verifiers have been nit picking (and so far they have been to extreme levels)

Problem number 2) Last night I got worst cramp ever. Pulled a muscle and re-torn some ligaments unlocking it. Anyhoo. I stink like football. Got a loada (tiger free) tiger balm on it but not sure will be good enough in time. Dont want to make it worse.

:( That sucks Spud... but thanks for making your intentions clear early on. You did say you'd have to check your schedule before confirming. Hope everything goes well for you.

So that leaves,

Me
Toddy
Kelly
Chris

Which is fine. :)


RECAP

The event is in Newbiggin by the sea but our hotel is in Newcastle so we'll all meet there. Either at the train-station around 1pm-ish, or later at the hotel if you've e-mailed Kate for directions.

All travel costs will be reimbursed but you MUST KEEP PETROL RECEIPTS in order to receive reimbursment.

We want to match in some way to appear more like a team, so we'll all wear Black or White, or Black & White.

This is probably the last time I'll be online, so if you have any questions you'll have to call me. My number is 07704173239.

I think that's everything sorted now... took long enough! ;D lol.

:EDIT:

Sorry Carl and Spud, you both posted while I was writing that... It took me a while because I got distracted by TV ;D Jackie Chan is on! ;D

Carl, you're welcome to come if you want. But I need to know a DEFINITE ANSWER NOW!!!

Kate doesn't think you're going anymore and it's a bit late to expect her to pay your train fare. That was supposed to happen in advance. So you'd have to ask Toddy nicely to pick you up. But I need to know definite numbers now, because she needs to know how many rooms to book!

Let me know immediately. If you think you'll be too ill to come, please say so now. But if you're absolutely positive you can come, that's great! :) Looking forward to it. See you all friday. :)



:FINAL EDIT:

It's insane how many times this list has changed!
Ok, the final line-up is:

Brendan
Toddy
Kelly
Carl.

Toddy, could Carl please get a ride with you?

Eugh, I hate double posting but needed to draw attention.

Carl, you just asked me to check my PM's... but you haven't sent me anything.
Or I didn't receive it if you did. What do you need to know?

Please give me your number again as I accidentally deleted it. :rolleyes: D'oh!

Well the event was postponed due to bad weather, but I personally had a fantastic time! :D I had an all exspenses paid weekend in Newcastle with my gorgeous girlfriend. :) The hotel room didn't have a bath but it had a nice shower and a giant bed! ;) We went to the beach, Jo took photographs and I did some flips. We met some lovely dancers and local traceurs (practitioners of Parkour). We stuffed ourselves silly with chocolate muffins and cheesecake. ;D And they paid me £80 for the priveledge of being there! ;D Oh, and we got free scooters which we raced around the hotel! ;D

It was a shame that the weather was so sucky, but I really can't wait to get more work like it! :)

The event photographer didn't get any pics of me on my bocks, but he got a pretty good one of a wall-flip, and a great one of a Webster front-flip. Oh, and you can see the dancers with our scooters! ;D

Wall-flip....  http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=1129

My girlfriend will be selling the stilt pants 'made to measure' if anyone's interested! ;)
I think they look awesome when worn with trainers on the hoofs! :D
