Bude!


I'm heading down to Airculture on the 17th, to check out the local seaside clickers, and run some minicomps and more. I hear there's quite the little scene going on there, so I look forward to meeting up with them all.

Airculture Ltd, Belle Vue, Bude, Cornwall EX23 8JS.

I'll update this post by next weekend when I've decided on comp formats/tricks.

I'll run Kyu gradings exams (see "Skill Levels" here) for anyone who wants one. There is a fee of £2 for this, but everyone who takes one will go into a free prize draw.

APPROX SCHEDULE:
11:30-12:30 Hello! Hang out, trick swaps, jam.
12:30-14:30 Gradings and a few games.
15:00-16:00 Speed Ladders (Beg/Int/Adv). Prizes for Ladders and grading draw.
16:00-17:00 Chill jams.

SPEED LADDERS
(The tricks are the same as a previous comp, the LXG. Don't get confused by the logo in the videos. :) )
Use any competition-sized kendama. (Spares available to borrow.) No oversizes.
You may only enter ONE of Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced divisions.
You must complete all the tricks in a combo before moving on. (i.e. No restarting half-way through a combo.)
Read the rules in the video for each trick/combo.

If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

Good times today. Had 10 players through the day (maybe the weather put some off?), 5 of whom were able to stay around for the ladders. Also 5 took gradings. I was asked several times for my "best trick", and also told several times that I was showing off. :D Fun games of KEN and Last Man Standing, and general play.
Cheers to Toby at Airculture for hosting. We may have to do this again sometime...
