Join me, as hopefully the weather will behave, in the centre of Manchester to celebrate fingerboarding!

Any Questions, post below, hoping to get a decent number out for this
Also refer to this thread: https://fingerboardhq.darkbb.com/t12047-go-fingerboarding-day#190082




DETAILS:

This day event will be held in Manchester City Centre. The reason for choosing this is incase anybody is coming from further afield than the Manchester area. I apologise if this causes any inconvenience.

If arriving for 12.30 or before, see Meeting Point #1
If arriving for 14.00, see Meeting Point #2
If arriving after, give me a PM.


Meeting Point #1:

Bottom of the escalators of the Food Court on Market Street at 12.30.

If arriving at this time, we'll be getting some food from the food court and having a reet good chat!

Meeting Point #2:

Outside of Next, opposite the Printworks at 14.00.

If arriving at this time, GFD will be fully underway, but not as you might expect..

If arriving after 14.00 please send me a PM on here on Facebook, I will read it.


As for details of the event, here it goes!

I'm aiming for this day to be similar to the old UKChillout format, in which it's mostly about a group of mates rather than solely being about fingerboarding, I've got some things planned which should be a laugh for everyone, I've learnt from the last event what to do differently.

But don't worry, fingerboarding will be involved!!

I've dug right into my personal collection of the past 2 1/2 years to provide prizes for some mini competitions I plan to be holding.
If anyone else wants to donate some prizes for the day, please get in touch and send me a message on here or Facebook. Harry Yeates has kindly offered a BerlinWood Deck.

We will be checking out some known spots around the city centre, as well as discovering new ones, so if somebody thinks they can sesh something, shout out!


Overall, I can't wait to see everyone on Friday, it'll be a laugh!

Possibly one of the worst date choices ever made!
Cool though

Won't be making it though, 3 days before Christmas :/

might be able to get the train up for the day

Manchester on the 21st, it'll be freezing!

I'm keen though!

yeah will be freezing haha but i will come!

good idea, but something around that time needs to be held indoors.

hanging around the streets fingerboarding on the 21st of December is madness. no fingerboarding will take place due to frozen hands.

Trafford center meetup

there is no chance ill be able to make it.

if anyone wants to pop along to a Queensgate meetup in Peterborough let me know by pm, i could make that

bristol needs one of these

I'm hopefully gonna drag billy to mine for a sesh, not asked him yet but yea, I'm sure he can make it. if it goes down you can come too

Trafford Centre sounds great, during the day it will be busy, sure, but won't be too bad. There's a good few spots round there too, inside and out! Who's up for that instead?

Damn, i'm in college that day, finish at 12 though, so depending on time it starts I could come

I'm in school that day I think I could pull a sicky at lunch or whatever (i might have a half day actually, I'll check) and go to Trafford Centre but I won't be going to central hahaha

if the rest of the leeds boys there im up for it

Yea I'm up for it .

This is a maybe for me.

Thom, I need some idea of times, locations, plans and shit.

This is also the last day of the Mayan Long Count calendar.

I'll need to know who's definitely coming first before doing anything. A rough plan would be too meet at the Trafford Centre at about 1pm or 2pm have a look round maybe, but sesh for a good few hours. Chances are I'll be giving some stickers away and maybe something else if I can get round to finding it, haha

I might be filming, haven't decided yet!

Depending on what people want to do, it might be a good idea to travel to Manchester centre and sesh the known spots too.

me and harry are deffo coming

Sweet. Before I sort any details out, would people be interested in arriving in time to get some Lunch, or after?

I can't get down there so I'm just going to bones and have a skate and fingerboard sesh
