bocking in oslo, just a thought?

[Kris]

I was wondering if there was an interest in coming to norway for a meet? there are a bunch of great locations in oslo for bocking (a rly good one for a meet would be the park as shown on the picture i posted).  Bocking is rly dead in norway and Im really keen on doing something social out of bocking, so if there was some interest in coming for a weekend to oslo at some point for a meet, i think that would be a great way to promot this wonderful sport here, as well as be rly fun and a good experience for everybody involved.  as long as people dont mind camping it would be quite cheap (altho goin out for a beer in Oslo is quite expensive)

So if i were to take initiative and try and organize something for (maybe next summer as im sure its too late to start planning for one this summer, as im sure most of you have plans) would there be a possibility of luring some of you Islanders (people in UK) and some of you swedes over to Norway for a weekend of bocking?

Well, we (Zackiz and me) organized a meet in Goeteborg last year. It was pretty nice, many continental Europeans showed up but all the ones who pushed the meet up in the first place (the Islanders) did not show up (not a single one). To be honest we where pretty pissed at that time (search the forum).

I wish you all the best for such an event but be not dissapointed when many state their interrest but no one shows up.

Sorry to sound negative, nvertheless I keep fingers crossed that it works better this time.

I wold say yeah. go for it. but it has to be planed very thoughtfully. i could join 4 bockers to the meeting but if i am right the bockers in norway live so far from each other that a capital bocking would mean long traveling for everyone that wants to meet up.
