Sydney Juggling (and Twirling) Convention 2007

Hi all,

The Sydney Juggling Convention 2007 is currently being organised. The dates and location are set and there's even a website.

Sydney Juggling Convention 2007

Dates: Fri 26 - Sun 28, Jan 2007

Location: SCEGGS Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia

Cost: $100 AU for 3 days

Website: http://www.sydneyjuggling.com.au

SJC 2007 has just secured SCEGGS Darlinghurst (a school sports hall) as the venue. It has all the things a juggling convention venue needs:

* High ceilings - a must for the serious numbers
* Eateries galore - just around the corner from the Darlinghurst cafe strip
* Close to transport - just around the corner from train stations and bus stops
* In the Sydney metro area.

So, check out the website, tell all your friends and get excited!

There is a contact email on the website if you have any questions

cya in Sydney...

p.s. there has been a small twirling contingent, including bluecat (rob) and firenix (rob) and steve last year, but would love to have more twirling. The more twirlers that turn up, the more twirling that will go on, including twirling workshops and performances. i hope to see you there.

last year there were 3 or 4 very good contact jugglers, and another 10 or so of varying levels. i cant predict exactly who will turn up, but i know of two of those good ones from last year that should be there (there from the wider sydney area).

i hope to see you there

mark

hmmm, im listening. will have to look into when school comes back, but if i can make it (and afford it) then im there.

also, is this you from CG mark?

pete

mark

have been looking at prices now, its definetly achievable cost wise. just gotta figure out when school comes back.

cheers, pete

hey mark whos running the staff and poi workshops? how do we get to and from the airport to the location? would it be possible to arrange it so ppl can stay at the hall?

*yay* school starts back on the following wednesday, soo, i can come

should sort out all traveling stuff and ticketness within the next week or so.

with ben on the 'sleeping in the hall'-ness, if possible

cheers, pete

ben-ja-men

in regard to workshops, we just have a board with a few different locations and times (hourly), and workshop instructors fill in the times they want to teach with a little description, and then it happens.

and we would love you to teach a workshop or ten :-)

as for transport, you can get a train from the airport to near the location (i will check which is the best station and have someone post it on the website).

and as for accomodation, you cant stay in the hall. PM me and well discuss other options.

mark

mark

moka

accomodation and transport to and from venue. PM me, and ill help you out with that.

mark

id watch that moka kid, he's a dodgy one

Dodgy?...

I'm flattered... :-P

Just a guess, but I went to the website, clicked on this thing and read the page

It says "Early Bird Special $100.00 Register Now * 3 days of juggling * Free SJC Tshirt"

Yet it also says: "pre-registration will be open soon."


Mark - whats the deal with that? Can people register now or is it just a typo?

That was also the point of my question :-P

i emailed the guy on the website, you'll be able to start paying soon, via credit card and paypal.

will be great to have you there moka! shall we catch the train back together?

But Of course... once I get my concession card...
Awesome about the paypal too... I have paypal!!! lol

as far as i know there are people (not me) working on the website tonight, so maybe the paypal thing will be up tonight, but no gaurantees.

check it out again tomorrow

mark

sweet, got your message then moka. shall we sort out the tickets when i next talk to you?

mark, im aiming at having 5 down before i get to sydney. im seeing progress, but its taking a while.

cheers, pete
