[Old event info]

This time as a standalone event, hosted on the Dublin Circus Project space.

Beginners division will stay as previous years, same ladder, same tricks

Advanced division will be knockout, with a new set of tricks.

Ah, I should have checked the dates properly! I did avoid the Easter weekend, but forgot that the previous one was also part of BJC

That's potentially a convention a lot of Irish may be going to... I am still in time to change it.

Pity it clashes, it wasn't announced, was it?

We should do some joint activity.

Apologies,

Just had a massive re think. Re-schudeling to May the 14th.
I should've communicated with you guys a little bit more.

Maico,

Maico,
I'm happy it does not clash with the IKO or the BJC :)

For me, clashing with the BJC is a bit of a problem, but I'd guess that for the BKO would be a much bigger issue.

Edit: I just read that May 14 has been registered for the JKA as "Kendama Day" was this intentional?

Congrats to Daniel on winning advanced and tittle for Irish champion.

Also congrats to Lucas on being the freestyle champ! Which we weren't going to run originally.

At least 3 jugglers that wanted to come had something else that day :-(

And Henry arrived just in time for a 7-to-Spike.

All in all, the players were really into Kendama, which was great. And it was a fun day.

At BJC I heard that DCF did finally happen, at really late notice, on April 1st. I could have made it to that one. Oh well. :/

Yes, it did, but with such short notice it was too late to change dates or too short to put a trick list... Unfortunate.

However that weekend was already pretty busy for me.
