[Kev]

I'm hoping to make this, any other kendama players planning on going along?

It would be nice to come and play, but it's just a bit too much of a trek for me for a 1-dayer. Gotta save the pennies for a Japan trip. Plus, I have a poker game at 1pm the next day.

Have fun, and look out for [user]Looby[/user], you may be able to prod him to put down his diabolos briefly, and dust off his kendama, what with BKO being in Leeds in 2014.

[Kev]

It would be nice indeed, but as you say, it is a bit far for a one dayer.

Still not all that long until the BKO. Which reminds me, we should firm up plans for the social day soon.

I shall keep an eye out for [user]Looby[/user] and hopefully I can also interest a few other jugglers too, maybe get a few to come to the BKO.

Well the LJC was great! Very busy day, a good crowd (and free doughnuts).

It was also a pleasure to meet fellow kendama forum member [user]Ian F[/user] and a nice chap called Tom who took a break from his 5 ball juggling to play some kendama.

We managed to get the word out about next years BKO in Leeds to a fair few folk too.

All in all a success!



*EDITED - turned the picture the right way round - doh!

Nice one Kev, glad you had fun, and spread the BKO word.
My excuse of the poker game was valid. I came 4th of 41 for £40. I would say it goes into the Japan fund, but poker money is poker money!

Nice to meet you too Kev.  Great pic, my brain needs more oxygenated blood! 'twas a good day.

I had no idea what you were referring to until i looked on my computer! This is odd, I uploaded the post from my phone and it was the right way round on there - how odd - trying to amend now!

Yeah it was a great day, really nice to play with other people (which is a rarity for me).

People seemed really pleased to hear of the BKO coming to Leeds - hopefully some of them will be able to make it.

For those that didn't know kendama, it certainly attracts a lot of attention doesn't it?!

For me personally, it was also a good 'dama day - I was landing my harder tricks I think probably thanks to the good atmosphere.

Well done on the poker!
