BJC 2007 will be held at Harvey Hadden Sports Stadium (map) (satallite), Bilborough, Nottingham between the dates of 11th –15th April 2007. This will be the 20th BJC and the second time it has been held in Nottingham, the first being ten years ago.

BJC 2007 is held for all types of circus style performers: from hobby jugglers to professional entertainers. We welcome all types of acrobats, aerialists, street entertainers, circus performers and object manipulators.

BJC 2007 is a place to attend workshops to learn new skills, improve on old skills and meet old friends and make new ones. We have various shows on in the evening as well as different forms of entertainment: bands, DJs, fancy dress, films, etc. There is a big show in the Royal Concert Hall on the Saturday evening after the Juggling Olympics and a parade through town.

BJC2007 is proud to announce that we will be hosting the World Juggling Federation UK Open Championchips (WJF UK), the first ever British Balloon Modelling Convention (BBMC1) and the World Juggling Video Federation (WJVF)

so, whos going? im definatly going to try and book time off work, and if anyone knows who we need to contact for volunteering etc please add the contact on here.

I'll probably make my way down there after work on Friday 11th. Wanna save up my holiday time for things like PLAY, UberParis and any possible Falmouths... As much as I enjoyed the last BJC, not being a hardcore juggler means limited interest for me!

after the little disscussion after last years bjc

p.s. dave, if i have my car and you want, ill give you a lift

I get 4 Whole weeks and 5 individual days.

If you are only going on the the Friday I wouldn't say no to the lift!

Nottingham's cool and they have a good spinning scene there and the neighbouring town of Loughborough... I think my mate's girlfriend lives there... Hmmmm...

I'm hoping to be at this! I will be unemployed unless something goes drastically wrong and I get a job so I expect I'll be there from the start to the end.

i'll be there

me 3

me 4

me 5

there

me too... woohoo

I'm going. I've already started organising and it's very rare that I make such a commitment to go to an event so soon after a thread's posted, so please do hold me to this!

G's from Nottingham so I know it's full of sound people who I haven't seen for a while, plus the novelty of riding on trams still hasn't worn off

Yup yup
(Although might need to be back Sunday early for sisters birthday...)

i might pi will be trying my damnn hardist to get there


( I ent even going to say how much holiday i get working in a school and all)

Can't believe they waited until I moved away from Nottingham to host one. It's so rude!
Can't wait for this as it was July the last time I went to Nottingham although I am hoping to make it up there before April.
Your right Dave, Nottingham does have a good spinning scene or it did when I handed it over. I met the Loughborough guys as well who all seem like a good bunch of people. Shame I only met them a month before I dissapeared.
Bov, have you confirmed your BBMC (I'm assuming you'll want to go to this) with the man Peachi? Looks as though the numbers are limited.
For those who may be wondering, public access to this place is well easy by bus from the city centre.

I might be tempted if I could palm the littlies off onto someone.... having said that, the tickets are a bit on the dear side.

Is it worth it?

me 2.0

I'm definitely going now.
I've been told this by someone more slack than me, but apparently it's true.

Represent.

to derail this thread far to early. I think we have no choice but to do some secret ninja mischief to jason garfield. In the name of spinners everywhere.

is jason Garfield going to be there????

I herad that there was going to be a European leg of the WJF Garfield lookalike competition

I didn't realise that the dark lord himself would be there
