Well, in addition to Happy Thursdays there is now going to be a new weekly meeting in Guildford.

Every Sunday, from 2 - 6pm in the Stoke Pub back room.

Happy Thursdays are still going to run and will be the "fire night" or, if it's raining, the "pub night"
The Sunday Sessions are more practise orientated- as it's difficult to practise and impossible to teach/learn in the dark and not particularly fun in the rain
The plan is to have fairly regular workshops teaching everything from the basics to the not-so-basics - so any volunteer teachers, step forward

We're looking for as much variety as possible inside, hopefully will get some jugglers (ewwwww ), devil-stickers, diaboloists etc. down.

Entrance fee is £3 which covers renting the back-room.

The first one will be Sunday, November the 7th and then hopefully it will be every week. At the moment, I'm thinking this might just be for the Autumn-Winter period, but if it's popular (and the pub are fine with it) it could stay

Hope to see some of you there

I'll try to make it, but don't blame me if I'm lazy and can't be bothered !
I'll probably alternate between thursdays and sundays for the next few weeks, until it finally becomes too cold to be outside. Be good to get some practice in when I can actually see what I'm doing. Might end up hitting myself in the head less. Maybe .

How high is the ceiling?

You're not a real juggler yet.
Upon walking into a room always check for height and breakability of surroundings!

and a true juggler will go into a room, look round, and do the check for height, breakability, space to move and such, and then juggle never mind what the situation is

Yeah, but as a contact juggler - I look for a floor that isn't concrete and is smooth enough to glide on

You want to ask someone to make you some, i hear there is a guy in soton that may be able to help - however i hear he takes a bagillion years to do anything - ask Ben

Looking forward to seeing your sparkley stix Ben, they sound as though they suit your new image well

Man ive got a busy weekend spinning by the looks of it:

Friday nyt - Fireworks display / workshops
Sat - possible gig and or / "assisting" the circus soc lot on there big show (at the hobbit)
Sunday - eezy spin in afternoon on the common
Sunday eve - to Guildford!

Monday - nurse aching arms
