well there is usually a lot of drinking, swearing, playing with axe's/fire, and power sliding cars around the field.....it might not be the best place for kids to hang around!

There was a family come and camp 3 or 4 years ago.
The kids where 12/13ish and there mum and dad come along to make sure they where ok.

Exactly..
Although i feel pretty old now, think that's because everyone else has actually got old!
Is Olly skiing this year? i will try not to kill him on the campervan again haha
Tiberius - Mar 24, 2009 - 12:05 AM
Post subject:
dunno, he hasn't skied for about 2 years now...although he hasn't snowboarded for a year either 
He's taller than me now (he's 14), he looks like he's going to be around 6', tall people look silly on a snowboard so maybe he should start skiing again.
GinaG - Mar 24, 2009 - 12:33 AM

maybe i should bring Mollie this time then!

6' isn't tall... that's average...
dunx - Mar 24, 2009 - 11:46 AM

But Tibs used to be in Panto as Grumpy, so it's quite tall for his family.
As for bringing the family along, feel free, but little kids probably wouldn't be a good idea.

Err, not quite!!
Unfortunately, I work a shift system that has all my time off rostered into the shift pattern. I don't have any floating holidays to take and have to miss out on loads of stuff like this. but on the bright side, I get 10 days off every 5 weeks, which is nice. Besides I'm not sure if I will have a tent worth sleeping in after Glastonbury the week previous

I phoned charlie from my nice warm bed that very morning and suggested that we gave it a miss, but when Charlie said we shoudl still go I couldn't let y'all down now could I?
And it wasted a couple of hours of day light... while people watched me smash myself up on a soakinh wet metal mini ramp, ice skates would probably have been more effective.

More the merrier really. It's just a chilled few days in a field with a spot of snowboarding Saturday night. Everybody is welcome, although bladers get used as fuel for the fire.

I tell thee ... Tamworth Friday night, pick the scary bird up Saturday and then back for some sliding Saturday night. Think of it as a sensible way to break the journey as Tam is 1/4 way back to Aberdeenlandshire. Doesn't stop you giving people lifts too and from Tam either then and the whole of Saturday to get L.

She's not a scary bird Dunx! That could be a bit of a plan like. I'm up for making it in to a bit of an epic road trip, I've asked for a couple weeks off work because I'm going away the weekend after too so I might as well make the most of the free time, well that's if I get the time off, it's not confirmed yet!

SnowDome as usual, but I'm sure we'll get some say. That night is supposed to be a Jib Jam, which normally means no rails, but they suggested we could have what we want really and normally ask the week before hand. If you have any suggestions, then feel free to air them here

what kinda skate park is it? indoor/outdoor private/public. And do they allow bmx's, if so anyone object if i bring ma bmx? Had a few accidents when i was a wood pusher, plus it felt weird so i diverted. Tried blading, but ended up breaking my arm in 6 places, plus in scotland its like "whats harder than blading? telling your parents your gay" haha, its frowned upon. Its no offence, but yeah back to original point, anyone object if i brought ma bmx?

there are few options for skateparks.. there is a great concrete park in coleshill about 10 miles from tamworth, and even better one at Kings Norton, fradley park is ok but its tarmac which is ok for you dirty dirty BMXers... the mini @ curdworth is a bit too small for a bike though I would have thought...?

theres nothing too wee for a bike, ma mate who now rides for BSD can flair a 1.5/2.0 ft quatre/rainbow thing. Im not up on technical names for objects within the park, my motto is if u can hit it try it then give the most vauge description.
But yeah it will all depend on space in the car wether i bring it. But nice one. A wee game of football might be safer for me, well il even break something playing that.

We have a choice of fields secured for the Summer Bash. Same one as last year and another one from the same farmer, which might be a bit boggy if we're in for a spot of rain. We'd be sooo unlucky if it rains this year with all the great weather we've been having recently! We'll announce the final field the week before and sort directions as usual.
We also have Dragon Lodge, Santa Cruz, Westbeach, Blueskin and Burton all providing some prizes for the event. We asked for quantity rather than quality so everybody should go home with some with something.
Remember we're going to stick all the SCUK membership cards we can find in a big hat and pull out one winner, who'll get to come on the Winter Bash for free. Don't forget those cards people and it's not too late to sign up as a member either... 'cos even if you don't win you get a great discount on Saturday's riding at Tamworth.

Just out of interest is there a session-discount even if you're a member at Tammy when you're a member of this marvelous organisation?
Plus I didn't know this was a sponsored event! Tammy is gonna be RAMMED is it worth booking in advance?

Oh and definitely the park not the mini, there shouldn't be any discussion surely!!
dunx - Jun 18, 2009 - 08:14 PM
Post subject:
I like to use the word "supported" rather than "sponsored". Sure there's gonna be lots of prizes, but we've specifically asked for lots of stuff rather than say one board. The more the merrier, which is what the Bash is all about. Whilst there's normally around 100 that turn up most seem to be too drunk to ride and as most of the SnowDome regulars come along it's no too busy.
SnowDome members don't get any additional discount, but SCUK members who pre-book get the SnowDome members' rates... if that makes sense. Also a good opportunity to try and use the free session voucher you get when you join SCUK.
ROBster likes "Hip Hip" (eh Nick?), but we'll probably have some open iDeck sessions... it's a long weekend.

You don't need to be able to freestyle, or even ride if you don't fancy it... the summer bash is about loads of people getting together to camp in a field, drink if they wish and get to know eachother more than a name on a website!

ooh.. Speaking of BBQs...!
I know we're not allowed a fire this year and Dunx is bringing the big gas BBQ, but can we fire up some small/disposable ones? Just to ease the traffic at the main one...
And for anyone worrying about turning up and being a billy-no-mates... I went to my first summer bash last year on my own and made a dozen new mates in seconds. The trick is to spot someone that looks like their avatar and say hi!
I'll superglue my phone to my nose so everyone will recognise me.

Without a fire there will be a significant loss in light amongst other essentials. Such as heat. Or Marshmallows

where did this there is no fire come from?!!
There has always been a fire since the 3rd summer bash, however that year it got out of hand with lots of fires! It ended up with tents and land rover seats getting burnt!
So since then there has only been one fire allowed which is in a brazier provided by Dunx and co. This will be away form the tents and normally where everyone hangs out. (may be different this year depends on how good rob music is! )
so to clear this is up:

The van sounds good for boards. Sounds like lots of people are bringing cars! I guess if any of us can't get a lift if we start walking by lunchtime we should make it by the evening. ;p

Mollie deffo wont be drinking anyway, she's far too young...gotta wait until she's 18

There's a big ASDAs in Tamworth so i wouldn't worry to much about the perishables.
Deffo bring the hammock though, you'll instantly get a load of friends from that!

Will we get a postcode for sat nav? I don't know why I'm asking because I'll just get lost anyway...even with the sat nav.
Do you reckon we'll need wellies for the field?

When do we actttttttttttttuaally find out where this field is? I'd love to know how far from Tamworth it will actually be as i'll be walking from the train station.

Good idea! Any numbers are welcome .. I may ask for a teeny weeny lift from someone if i do end up taking the train.. Maybe?

Because I dont know anyone!
I tell a lie there could be as many as 3 people i know that said they would go to this. Whether they actually go is of course something entirely different.

Don't worry, i don't know anyone either so you won't be the only one feeling like a gatecrasher!!
I'm quite happy to pick anyone up from the station that needs a lift. I'll probably be turning up late afternoon, although i'll probably get caught in the traffic.
I'd appreciate a lift to the dome on Saturday if anyone's got room, I don't often get let out for the weekend so want to make the most of it!!!
Snowaddict - Jun 25, 2009 - 06:17 PM
Post subject:
Well Jimbo if i pmed you my number would I be in for a chance of one of those lifts? I should get in evening time at the station and wont know what to do next! Let me know
And billiejoe i don't know anyone! I'll be going on my own aswell which is just plain scary.

If it will save you some cash you could get a train to Oxford and I'll pick you up from there, it's probably half way?

Right, well Dunx expect a phone call from a very lost Sarah on saturday!
If anyone is north of tam I could come pick you up and drop you back home...my mate's going to stay in london til monday so I don't need to go down to pick her up.
Oh meant to say as well that I can take 4 people in my car to the dome seeing how Dunx is going to put the boards in the van.

A big metal thing that fire wood goes in, like a stove! a few years ago there was an incident with some fire and some tents so since then all the fire is kept in one manageable place! No dont need to bring wood.......

Yes please! I'm a bit space limited this year as I only have the company mini-van and not the Soul Sports maxi-van.
The deal with the fire is that we have one central fire on the floor. I used to have a brazier, but my neighbour trashed it.
A single large fire reduces damage to the field and tents and acts as a focal point for larks. In the past, we've had multiple fires and it got way out of hand with tents damaged, a lot of things burnt that shouldn't have been (landrover seats and a stash of the farmer's old Triumph magazines - I know, some people) and as you might expect a very, very angry farmer. More importantly we had lots of little cliquey groups dotted everywhere which rather defeats the object of the weekend.
The forecast will change anyway, but even of there's showers it'll be warm! It's already changed from heavy showers, to light showers in a day.
All we need now is word from SnowDome on the chosen field.

They're always wrong anyway. Showers always seem to involve less rain than you expect. It'll be warm anyway and probably better than it being 30'C in the shade.

My young lady can't board yet so this is going to be her only opportunity to get some snow action.
If you are going what session are you booking yourself onto?
7.45 to 8.15pm

All sunny from 1pm today and then light showers for the rest of the weekend. Low 20s. Doesn't sound too bad. Probably better than sitting in the sun in 30s all weekend TBH.
