#838482 - 04/09/07 09:13 PM Manchester Juggling Convention 9
PinkNigel Pinker than thou Registered: 04/05/06 Loc: A little pink world all my own...	So it's another Manchester convention, very likely to be much the same as all the previous ones.. 10am-7pm at Chorlton Leisure Centre, 7pm-erm, sometime later at St. Ninian's Church Hall. General (where's the hoop graemlin??) fun during the day, evening is pub quiz/silliness/renegade (if we get any acts). Probably going to be �6, it always has been before, but since we've not had an organisers' meeting yet that might change. PM/ask here if there's anything else you want to know... _________________________ A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)

PinkNigel Pinker than thou Registered: 04/05/06 Loc: A little pink world all my own...	Written by: hexagonic When is it?? D'oh!!! 6th October. Written by: hexagonic Don't you need a one of these?? Take your own to the church hall, they're fine with that ... ..And it's a MJC convention tradition to buy one for everyone anyway... Written by: hexagonic Is it just a one dayer or can we stay overnight?? One day, but crash space can be sorted for those who need it. Written by: hexagonic I would love to come to this, especially since I've never been to Manchester. You'd be welcome.. _________________________ A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)

Written by: house_of_mill Do you think I'd be allowed to take my bike in with me Nigel? its a bit to precious to lock up outside. In the evening, yes, no problem. Not so sure about the leisure centre though.. Oh, no, hang on, I've just thought of the perfect place for it where it'll be right out of the way... (But there's only space for one bike there really, so don't nobody else go thinking of not bringing locks if they're pedalling.) _________________________ A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)

Seye Geek Registered: 27/03/05 Loc: Manchester, UK	the details are all on the first few posts. Its mostly a juggling convention but there will be people doing poi, staff, devilsticks, etc, etc... You should come down - its always (extremely geeky) fun

Written by: Seye - its always (extremely geeky) fun Why thank'ee, we like to think so too. Had a 2-minute convention meeting at Bristol last weekend, at which we had just enough time to say "hmm.. we need to have a meeting" and "yes, it will be �6 again" (no concessions, sorry, we're non-profit and the hall is the same amount whoever turns up...) _________________________ A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)

curlywurly newbie Registered: 14/10/06 Loc: manchester	By "details" you mean fun and sillines? sounds fine if so! Are there kind of workshops and stuff, or is it like an extended gasworks-type meet in the day? I'm dead keen to learn some new tricks and wondering if this is somewhere I might get to do that!

PinkNigel Pinker than thou Registered: 04/05/06 Loc: A little pink world all my own...	Written by: curlywurly Are there kind of workshops As always, anyone who wants to run a workshop is perfectly welcome to stand up and shout "{whatever} workshop starting now just here!!". We don't have any planned in advance tho, so it could well be that none officially happen... But everyone's friendly, you just gotta ask folk to teach you and they usually will... _________________________ A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)

Seye Geek Registered: 27/03/05 Loc: Manchester, UK	If anyone wants to learn some poi or staff stuff just give me a shout. I'll be around all day I imagine indulging in some completely unnecessary geekery. Nigel - Will be cool to actually say hello to you properly. Dave did point you out at Play but I was running round fixing things all weekedn so never got to meet you

Minx Member Registered: 30/04/07 Loc: Manchester	Have just found out about this from Curlywurly as I haven't been on the forums before (slap my wrists)! Can't do the evening but would love to come during the day - and I only live around the corner!! I'm a newbie poister and will be gazing in awe at everyone and plucking up the courage to ask for help!! Am very excited!!! and a little bit nervous...

pricklyleaf with added berries Registered: 07/03/05 Loc: Manchester	Don't be nervous! It'll just be a load of overfriendly juggers/poisters/weirdos in a hall together doing lots of juggly/spinny/weird stuff. Everyone is always really friendly at conventions, don't be afraid to go up and chat. You might also be interested in this... regular(ish) Manchester spinning meets looking forwards to meeting you!

PinkNigel Pinker than thou Registered: 04/05/06 Loc: A little pink world all my own...	We had a convention meeting last night (it had to happen eventually; we might be very slack about it, but it doesn't actually all sort itself out..) and everything's in place now for Saturday. All the usual convention madness, keeping the games short and sweet so nobody whinges about how long they go on for, keeping the pub quiz short and sweet for similar reasons... See y'all Saturday _________________________ A wise man once said: "You have two ears and one mouth, therefore you should shut the up and listen" (though, to be fair, he might not've put it _quite_ like that..)
