I've had an amazing time this weekend so I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who was there! I think everyone went home with a brain crammed full of information to work with for a looong time.

Special thanks to organisers and teachers. I know a lot of thought and work went into making this weekend happen and be a wonderful success, so a huge round of applause all round!

We're now relaxing and letting muscles recover, before hitting juggle jam tonight for yet more playtime! smile

What a journey. I feel I’ve learnt so much biggrin

Big thanks to all the beautiful people that created such a fantastic vibe at the event. Also big thanks to Malcolm for creating such a great community, from which events like Uberoz have grown.

How about an Official Uberoz Photos/vids Links Thread? From genius to sillies, workshops to pool-lilo-wibbling, manequins to movement, fire and no fire, tiger balmed nipples to a record number of people juggling in a kitchen, post-pull-off grins to post-belting grimaces. I'd love as many photos from this weekend to do art from.

Cheers everyone for a very tasty weekend!

Jena nd others... I think this is getting worked on by far savvier peeps than I ... watch this space...



I think your jumper is here Ben, in the *?* box in the laundry... good you mentioned it as it was on its way to the Backpackers Please Take bag eek



And also.. hmmm... two tents have gone missing from where we camped at the scout hall... probably innocently packed in someone's car and driven off... one (mine) was in a silver bag and the other one (tePOOKa Steve's) was in an orange bag I think. They were under the tarp that we put up... I'll PM/email some people who might know but in the meantime, any clues?? confused
