I've decided to attempt to set up regular jams in Bristol and nearby areas (Exeter, Gloucester, South Wales), as I feel like there is enough people to try and keep this a regular thing.
Bristol will be the main home for these meets, but the plan is for other places to occasionally host.
The meets will happen every 2nd and 4th Saturday in each month.
Current Meet dates
26 Jan - Bristol, meet in Queens Square, 12:30

I'll be missing this one, as I'll be on the People's Vote march. (Cheap coach return tickets from Bristol if anyone else fancies it:

)
Whatever you think of that, make sure you're registered to vote (https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote) if you're over 18. You know who always votes in large numbers? OLD PEOPLE! That ought to be the most persuasive argument that young people's votes matter! :)
Anyway, back on topic, guess I'll see you Souwesters in early April.
And again, 13th April. Bristol.
Usual arrangements, 12:30 Queen's Sq.

Queen square tomorrow? Time?
REALLY,
@Woodsy ? ;D

REALLY! Why doesn't the picture have a place or time on it? Who knows what people are doing? How can I read your mind
@BKA ?! ;)
27 April - Cardiff, Stone circle, Bute Park, Cardiff. From 12:30. Pic/map attached below.
Weather's not looking on our side for Saturday, a yellow warning issued for wind. Would it be a good idea to think of alternative covered places for jamming?
I can't think of many in Cardiff :'(
@tomdama_93 Yes, I was thinking the same - I'm unlikely to come over if the current forecast holds. I don't have any local knowledge though.
@mreasyguy @Mikegee @BenPycroft24 ?
Wind looks mighty intense for tomorrow so it maybe a good call to cancel, check the weather tomorrow and see what's going down

Yep. I'm out, I'm afraid. You locals can brave it out, if you fancy. :-)
@mreasyguy @tomdama_93 @Mikegee @BenPycroft24 . Updated poster:...
Obviously you have been guessed that the next jam will be BKO weekened, so the next jam will be the 25th. I'll update on it in a week or so.
As discussed the next SWJ will be Cardiff (it seemed like they were owed one after last time)
Let's just use the same meet spot as intended, so:
25 May - 12:30 Cardiff, Stone Circle Bute Park
8 June - Bristol, 12:30 Queens Square
Can't make this (8th June) as there's a skatepark jam on that Saturday in Devizes (near Swindon) with all disciplines having a competition and a Kendama stand besides the skatepark...
This is basically the dream for me, but if anyone's keen. Then feel free to join!

But... you're on the poster! :-) Ah well, have a great time, see you at the next one.

Hi guys. Any plans for a SWJ soon?
@tomdama_93 @The Void @Dice126 Not been able to organise these as of late due to not actually being in Bristol, but I will be back on the 14th. Conveniently the second Saturday of the month. Meaning these regular meets will now start up again
14th September. Bristol. Castle Park (somewhere near the bandstand) 12:30
.
@Tom.pattenden wins the 7ToSpike!
28 Sept - Gloucester
12:30, place TBA
(Spot announced soon)
Pic/poster:...
Location for the 28th: Gloucester Park
Just a short walk from the station
We're at thw skate park.
The next meet is coinciding with the SK jam. Bristol. 12th October: https://kendama.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3690.0
Next jam: 26th Oct, Bristol, Queens Square
9th November, Bristol, Millennium Square
Two weeks time I'm in Amsterdam so won't be organising the next SWJ, although due to the cold/lack of light/lack of people the rest of the year may not have another (just a consideration)
