Listen up! Just spoke to Marcus from the Insight and he wants to send a photographer out to get some shots to accompany an article he's doing on the Brighton Parkour scene.
I've told him we'll organise a jam SOON and get as many people as possible there - we're looking at a cover story if the shot works out so obviously it will be a bit lame if there are just three of us and a dog.
Anyway, this will be the ideal opportunity to get a good sized jam on the go and also for us all to put faces to these names.
He needs a daytime session - I'm suggesting Saturday morning from 10 - 1 - how does this suit? And who could make it? Let me know soon as he'll need to book a photog as much in advance as possible.

Probably the sea front and then up into town - but away from the crowds - first need people interested, then see if the times good for him - then we can decide where to go.

Right guys - forget most of what I've said so far.
I've spoken some more to Marcus who is from the Source Mag, not the Insight, and he definitely thinks we're on for a cover if the photos are up to scratch.
Having discussed crowds in town, and light levels, and the photographer's availability, we've CANCELLED Saturday and made a date for 8am on Thursday the 3rd of February - a week today.
We're meeting at the Ellipse on the sea-front. Me and Dantes will be there representing - it would be really good to have some more of you there as well. We quite regularly train down there at that kind of time and it should be nice and quite. Let's keep everything crossed for a dry night before and bright morning on the day...

Some people, including myself, have work or school at that time. Sorry mate, can't do it. A sunday would be good, towns are often quieter, you get more freedom.

yup - I know - and I'm lucky that it's a perfect time for me - weekends are much harder and I'm far more likely to be working.
In this case though it comes down to the photographer, the times of day he can do etc, and the journalist.
As far as anyone else is concerned who may be interested and hopefully there will be a few of us - I know of five at present I think - the elipse is the big curved wall that runs like one side of an elipse on the seafront opposite the Odeon and Brighton Conference Centre. The Gemini bar set up loads of tables and chairs out there through the summer, and it's between the volley ball court and the seafront office. More improtantly for our purposes it's very close to the staircases that we'll jam for the photo-shoot.
Hope to see some of you there.

Had fun on thursday. We have got a little video of the source mag jam so if anyone is interested in having a look let me know. We still need to edit out all the poo and cheese moments. Nice bits of you geo, always in the background climbing stuff with a dodgy look on your face! Nice to meet the pimp crew. Have to hook up for a proper session so you can teach me how to backflip without breaking my head.
