An Important Announcement - SJC 2008

[pozorvlak]

Pre-registration for the Scottish Juggling Convention '08 (which is being organised by me and azrelle) is now open! The convention will run from the evening of Friday 1st February to Sunday 3rd February in Glasgow. We're in Kinning Park Complex for the nights again, but we've moved to Bellahouston Academy for the day venue. This means that this year there will be showers :-)

Your £26 (£17 for 7-17 year olds; free for under-7s) gets you entry to the convention, crash space, breakfast and dinner, tea and coffee, a ceilidh, haggis juggling, and entry to the spectacular International Public Show, featuring¹ Luke Wilson, Meghan Pike, Wes Peden, Matt Hall, the uninominal Doc, Tom Derrick, Marco Bonisimo and Jeroen Regtien, Sean Blue, Sarah Bi[sz]kup, and others to be confirmed. If you have no idea who I'm talking about, have a search through IJDB's video database for their names and prepare to be amazed - these are world-class performers. If you've never been to a juggling convention before, this should give you some idea of what to expect, but note that we won't be having a parade, and you don't need to bring a tent to the SJC - bring a sleeping bag and a roll-mat, though.

To pre-register, please fill out this form: http://www.scottishjuggling.info/prereg.txt

Cheques payable to "Glasgow Juggling Club Convention", please, or we can't pay them in!

More information at http://www.scottishjuggling.info. Any queries, please drop me or Azrelle a line.

Hoping to see lots of you there!

While I have no plans for attending - that price seems very good for a weekend inc. food - I managed to spend more than that last weekend at the CULES annual dinner excluding the dinner itself! Big it up to you and the Glaswegians.

EDITED to remove things I should know by now.

Thank you :-) Much appreciated.

To clarify - we're not entirely sure how much food will be provided (depends to some extent on budget on the day), but the plan is to provide at least breakfast on both days and some sort of buffet dinner/sandwich makings on the Saturday (We'll see how it goes on the Friday, but there will at least be coffee and tea provided then). Basic, but filling :-) Lunch won't be catered, but the canny conventioneer will be able to fashion some form of packed lunch out of the stuff left out at breakfast.

I'm really looking forward to this! Ill have to nip around the front once I've done my routine so that I can see the rest of the show properly :-)
