Title: The Swansea Session - Aug 20th, 2017
Post by: Dice126 on 18 July, 2017, 16:30:57
Hello to all.

So those who know me know I'm really passionate about pushing kendama and especially British kendama to bigger and better things. in the spirit of this Ive decided to host a jam day in Swansea.

so far there is alittle bit of interest from slayers and non slayers so I'm hoping that the turn out will be good.

details
we are holding the jam on sunday the 20th of August, at the amphitheater  behind the LC2 leisure centre next to the Waterfront museum if the weather is good, if not there is a large covering near a local tesco we can use.

We will be meeting around 1pm and jamming playing mini games and maybe filming alittle too.

i know not everyone will be able to make it but if you can join us down in the valleys you will be more than welcome hope to see you guys soon and if there are any questions feel free to ask.

happy slaying

Doesn't Cardiff count then? There've been at least 3 meets there before!  :P

@mreasyguy What about your work colleagues who you've started "training"?

Right, I'm now 100% for this.
Weather looking a bit showery - I'll check the amphiheatre[nb]Technically, that's not an actual amphitheatre. :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitheatre [/nb] first, but is the "large covering" obvious if we head to the Tesco, @Dice126 ?

I'm planning on leaving at about 10:30am, so if anyone wants in Bristol wants a lift, shout now! (DM me.)

Good fun jamming today with @Dice126 @Ashton @mreasyguy Nathan, Logan, Connor, Lucas & Amy.

Shame about the rain pushing us undercover for most of the day, but that didn't stop the clicks. Nice to see the newbie boys geting into it and learning new tricks. Good seeing Ashton, Dice & Adam all hitting stuff they wanted too. (Hey, off-camera? So what, it's all good!) I hit a 2-Turn Aeroplane, and an Aero>Insta 2-Turn JStick, both first try. Step back, walk away! Also, well done Dice for hitting 1st Kyu in your first grading.

Oh, and I think the member map (http://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=googlemap) needs a couple of new Swansea pins. :)

Click on, cats!

@Unichuck1 Hang on... You're on it! So, you got it to load?
If not, not sure... Clear browser cache? View in main browser, not within Tapatalk? A couple of other people said it was a bit slow to load a while back... patience?


Ah, timing....

Glad you managed it. It's an SMF mod, so tricky for us to poke it in any way, unfortunately. Cheers.
