Is that a picture of me I see. Must mean that I'll be there then!

Also did I hear a rumour that some of the Exeter crew might try and get to it too? @Maicodama @BenPycroft24

It was yesterday! :) I had fun in the park yesterday with Ryan @Oblivion @Kofi @Cortz @Its_mrdiz @kymallen94 @Maicodama @johndmc @KenSan & "Kensan Jnr" . After an initial paperwork meeting, it was a chilled day with no formal structure, so really nice time just playing KEN or Follow, or just swapping tricks or challenges.

I found a bracelet in the park (left it at the cafe as lost property), and (eventually) hit my first Cushion Lunar after rashly replying to Ben's "what are we doing?" with "Whatever you tell us to!". Good to give Ollie some exercise, and see Noah progressing impressively quickly. That silly skate-wheel kendama was a laugh too.

I think the winning run (by Ben) in the big game of Follow went...
Aeroplane>Lighthouse>Mouth Lift>Lighthouse>Trade Spike>Big Cup>Small Cup>Base Cup> Centrifuge>Whirlwind Base Cup>Small Cup>Tapback>Stab
(Sorry for "letting the South West down", Kym! ;P )

Kofi wins the photo:

Here's to the next one, everyone!

Thanks @The Void for coming all the way over this side of the country. Like wise @kymallen94 @Cortz and of course @Maicodama and especially @Kofi for taking Noah under his wing and keeping him "hyped" on kendama and raw carrots!

And good to see all the KDT guys again whom I've been neglecting recently!

Had a great time and will hopefully get my quota of @BKA gradings under my belt in the coming months!

Yeah thank you to all those that could make the trip, a great day.
I'm made up with landing my first UFO and suicide airplane.
Also, I am really enjoying the new Royal Plush [emoji146]
