UPDATE: After a year of MoNKe meets, it sadly seems there isn't enough enthusiasm for it. The first two were well attended, but the average attendance (including me) was probably about 2.1. So, I'm no longer going to plug this meeting. HOWEVER, I will still be at the club almost every Monday, so if you're up for a Monday night jam, come along. (You can PM me first if you want to check I'll be there. Although also check the club's page for the occasional shut-down date first.) Cheers, and clicks.

Second Monday of every month. 20:00-22:00 (plus pub afterwards)
http://www.jugglingedge.com/club.php?ClubID=4 (http://www.jugglingedge.com/club.php?ClubID=4)
Starts October 12th, 2015. Address (& link to Google Map) and club details in the link above. £3 a session goes to cover hall hire costs. Free tea & biscuits!
Next date: 12th September Well, sort of every week (see above).
I'm at Altern8 juggling club almost every week.
@Sonicpearse shows up once every 2 or 3 weeks,
@Rich and
@Ash have been once each,
@Paul_S comes along from time to time when he's not out of town. Not yet had a visit from
@Cand1ez or
@kaia . Jon and Daryll are occasional visitors who dabble. And we get
@donald grant once or twice a year when he's passing through.
So, in order to try to get a regular meeting going, I'm now calling
the 2nd Monday of every month as Monday Night Kendama! (If you're up for coming on other Mondays too, great, and I'll see you there!)
Jams, trick swaps, games, gradings available, occasional stock for sale. Come and be a
MoNKe!
Here's a little taster vid:

Awesome. Will come along on the 12th for sure.
I'll definitely try to make it next monday. I plan to come down much more but was just busy the last few mondays... :)
See you there.
Great video Void! I will hope to be there on 12th for a good jam...
@Paul_S @kaia @Rich @Sonicpearse Yay! Sounds like we've got a nice group already for our first official meet! See you there, guys. :)

@Sonicpearse, get well soon!
Next "official" MoNKe is November 9th, but I'll be there for all the Mondays inbetween, so feel free to show up then too.

Next Monday (23rd) is a free night at the club. Come along and save £3!
Okay, who's coming on Monday 14th?
If anyone's up for meeting up a bit earlier too, I'm down for that as well. (Weather dependant, perhaps...)

My mate ended up cancelling as he's got a couple of 12 hour shifts at the hospital so I've not got a base. Sad to say I'll have to miss out again :(
:-/ Ah well, another time.

Yay, cool.
I'll be there!
Also, got your PM Void, thanks! I had an awesome time in Japan. Obviously, I spent too much on kendamas. :p Fill you in later!

Bristol players, do try really hard not to be so RUBBISH next time.
Next meet, March 14th.

cool see you tonight peeps
Fun night tonight. Robin, Paul and Sonic all got a little BKO training in. Paul got his first Slip Grip Special in a game of ComBones, and Sonic got his 3rd Wingwalker, and was training for his first Lunar. I had a little play with juggles, but mostly just messed about.
Next date: 11th April
Alas the lunar still elludes me. Got very close, but no cigar...
Good evening had by all! Come along next time if you can!
Next one's on Monday (11th)!
I hope to be there this evening. Gotta get some practice in for BKO...

the point is, he doesnt have a car today but he wants to join you!

@Sonicpearse ? Edit: Oh, wrong side of Stroud, sorry.
Under different circumstances it wouldn't be a problem (not too far to stroud) but baby girl limiting my movements. Still hoping to get there though...
Next date: May 2nd.
NOTE: This is the FIRST Monday of the month. I'm moving it for May because it's right after BKO, and some people will still be around for the long weekend.
Next date: June 13th.
Go some clips to come from the last MoNKe....
Another game of Combones. 20 secs of trick-picking...
http://juggling.tv/15885
The juggling club will be closed on May 23rd & May 30th. Open again as normal from June 6th.
that game was really nice to play
and the cookies and tea were great ;-)
Next meeting is on Monday!
https://instagram.com/p/BGexsNYiHqj/
Next up: July 11th.
I plan to get to the Bristol kendama meet on Monday 11th may - anyone else coming?
Reckon!
https://instagram.com/p/BHfeGiPBWzd/
@Rich @Will T ?
@SamB is coming! (Hope that wasn't meant to be a secret, Sam :) )
Next meet: Aug 8th.
Fun session on Monday with
@Sonicpearse &
@SamB . A few games of KEN, and, after realising I'd forgotten ComBones, but remembering I had Spin-Off on my iPad, we played Wheelie and Psychout. The former was particularly frustrating fun. Plus, Sam had a bit of an EKO practice, and Sonic got his first Scoop Up.
Yep, a great time had by all - very pleased to have landed my first scoop up although it was with my slightly beaten up sunrise kendama not my new super-slippy play kendama! Looking forward to 8th Aug for more games...
I was thinking about coming to August monke and staying the night in Bristol if anyone has free time to jam on Monday and Tuesday I'm more than happy to meet up. For those who aren't going to EKO we could have a little gathering if weather permits.
Ben.
@BenPycroft24 I'll put you up 8)
@BenPycroft24 @Cand1ez I'm up for that. Getting back late Sunday, so might be a bit mashed for Monday daytime, but can jam in @ Monke and on Tuesday.
[Please log in to see attached image]Right then, MoNKe (http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2573.msg22320.html#msg22320)'s tonight! I believe
@BenPycroft24 @Cand1ez and perhaps
@ltdama are coming along.
@Sonicpearse ? Anyone else?
Also, what's the plan for tomorrow, dudes? Meeting place and time? The usual Castle Park, or elsewhere?
Sadly won't be making it tonight. Working 80 hours last week without a day off has killed me off
@BenPycroft24 Sold! See you there.
Yep I'll be there! Looking forward to it. Will be there shortly after 8.
@Sonicpearse any chance you'll be clicking with us on Tuesday?
@BenPycroft24 - Unfortunately not on Tuesday. Working all day I'm afraid.
Too bad
@Sonicpearse it'll be a good day.
Fun @ MoNKe tonight. Tired legs, but I'm not using that as an excuse for Sonic beating me 2-1 at ComBones. It was the Lighthouse to Candle move that clinched it. :)
Next meeting: September 12th.
I was very chuffed with my win at Bones, but can't quite take full credit due to how knackered Void was!
Looking forward to next meet on Sept 12th...
Next one's on Monday. (12th) If people don't show up, it'll be the last one.
@Sonicpearse @SamB @Maicodama @charlieforsyth @Paul_S @Cand1ez
I plan to be there - hope to see you all there!

On Monday, at the last official MoNKe,
@Sonicpearse and I had fun. A few games of Spin-Off (http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,900.0.html), and some general playing. I managed to improve my Opposite Lunars (http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1517.0.html) too.
So, I've recently moved to Bristol and also recently picked up my old dama, now I'm obsessed and looking for people to play with in the area.
Does anyone know anywhere/one that has a jam evening/class/anything?!
Hi
@Woodsy ,
Welcome to the forum. I'm also from Bristol. There are a few of us scattered about here, and in better weather we arrange occassional meet ups. (Check out the Member Map at http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=googlemap , and add yourself, if you fancy.)
In the meanwhile, I go to the Monday night juggling club every week, so if you want to come along and jam one night, I'll see you there! (Closed for Xmas now, open again on Jan 8th)
http://jugglingedge.com/club.php?ClubID=4
Cheers,
Void
Awesome! Thanks for the info! Shame the club is closed for Xmas! I'll have to pop down in the New Years
So it's the new year and I was thinking of coming to the club tonight. When and where is it?
Hi
@Woodsy ,
It's 8-10 (if you're slightly early, there'll be a Zumba class in the hall, so hang on).
The address is on http://jugglingedge.com/club.php?ClubID=4 , and it's hyperlinked to a google map with a pin dropped by the door.
See you tonight!
Void
Thanks for the information! I'll come down for 8 and wait around sheepishly until I can see someone looking like they have/play dama!
Good fun meeting up with you last night,
@Woodsy . Always great to meet another player, and to jam for the first time this year. Here's to the next one!
https://twitter.com/BritishKendama/status/955849432154759169
Great way to start the year for sure! Look forward to coming up again sometime soon!
Thinking I may pop down again tonight if you're about
@Woodsy Yup. See you later.
Another nice session of general jamming, plus a couple of games of ComBones and Spin-Off.
@Woodsy https://instagram.com/p/Be3GrGzB0-P/
Thinking of popping down again later
@The Void. Been a while and keen to jam :D
@Woodsy Yo, see you there! :)
https://twitter.com/RoyalKendama/status/971013946881794048
Good session last night. Woodsy & I played some Team KD Battle cards, which he thrashed me at, and some (analogue) Spin-Off, where I got my revenge. Plus generally trick swapping and training. All good clicks.
Here's hoping you're "allowed" some time to come and jam on 24th,
@Woodsy ! :)
https://instagram.com/p/BgRVgF2FtHM/
Quick one from last night. No games, just tricks all the way.
@Woodsy
Another good jam with
@Woodsy last night. Again, "just" swapping tricks, practising, trying the latest Endless Combo trick (so close!), and generally having a laugh. Here's a quick trick:
https://twitter.com/thevoidtlmb/status/976120621598986241
Are you back and ready for a jam
@The Void ?
@Woodsy Just got back, will be there tonight. But quite knackered.
I'm coming along tonight, Mike from welsh wales is coming too I believe
"Welsh Wales". Ha! See you later.
Good sesh tonight with
@Woodsy and
@Mikegee . General tricking, plus some games of ComBones and Spin-Off, and the 2 hours zipped right by.
I really enjoyed the evening great games and good to see
@Woodsy @The Void again
I'm sure I'll be back real soon

Blast from the club last night. Syncromeshing like cogs with
@Woodsy , with twin honey plushes. :-D
https://instagram.com/p/BiPUBaUHuoT/
Hay @TheVoid is it on this evening with it being bank holiday
@Mikegee Yes, it's on. (PS There's a space in my user name: The Void, not TheVoid . Not that it matters, I saw it! :-) )
See you guys there
@The Void @Mikegee
Nice session tonight with
@Mikegee &
@Woodsy . No games, clips or pics, just nattering, playing, trickswapping and general practise. Guys, check out the thread/video for Half-Swirl Aeroplane (http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=473.0), and Mike, get on the collab (http://kendama.co.uk/collab)! :-)
Closed 21st & 28th May.
Another good session tonight with
@Woodsy &
@Mikegee. General trickswapping and jabbering again, but we've set ourselves "homework" for next week of Lighthouse> Juggle to Lighthouse. Doable, but a fun tricky challenge for each of us.
Done my homework, boys!
@Woodsy @Mikegee https://instagram.com/p/BjuuHGjn1vF/
It was warm.
The club is open next week, but I won't be there. I'll be there on 30th. Club will be closed on 6th & 13th August. (Hall being redecorated.) Mainly posting this for
@Woodsy &
@Mikegee 's attention. :-)
Open tonight?
Yup,
@Woodsy . You can always check if there's a shutdown date listed on https://www.jugglingedge.com/club.php?ClubID=4 (Link's in the first post in the thread.) Otherwise it's open.
...
@Dimensions ?
@Mikegee can't make it but tempted to come over
Can't make it today, will definitely try to get to one soon though
Good session last night at Altern8, with
@Dimensions along for his first meet. We both got tricks in the bag... Meanwhile here's a pic where Luke is entirely invisible.

Aha!....
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-KJspHG0a/
I won't be at the club tonight. Still feeling a bit under the weather.
Hey
@The Void I believe Mike and I are coming tonight. Are you going to be there? Any word on
@Dimensions too?
I've had a pretty stressful and hectic last couple of months so dama club has fallen to the wayside!
Look forward to a little jam later :D
Me, yep. See you later.
Nice session with
@Woodsy @Mikegee &
@BenPycroft24 tonight. General jams and some games of ComBones. I got 5 Spacewalk Swap Flying Tops in a row. Knees officially undusted!
Pic:
Session last night with
@Dimensions @Woodsy @Mikegee Curtis, and even Jon - getting his first Jumping Stick, Earth Turn and Turnovers. :-)
I may be able to pop over tonight. Hoping to bring Curtis and Danny and maybe a new player too!
Cool, see you there!
Won't be able to make this one, unfortunately
Pic from Monday, with
@Woodsy & Curtis. Club is CLOSED ON JAN 28th. Open again as normal in Feb.
Is it on/open tonight? Think there may be three-five of us coming! :D
Yep. See you there.
Nice session last night with
@Woodsy Danny, Max and
@Mikegee . Pic! (especially for Mike 😁):
Kendama players outnumbered jugglers tonight! Jordan,
@Woodsy Curtis
@Dice126 Danny
@Mikegee and B... damn, forgot your name, sorry!
Pic:
Is anyone going tonight?
@Dimensions @The Void
Me, yes. I believe Rob has an all-day shoot, so no.
@Woodsy
