New and improved news
  
 
Welcome one and all to what i hope is going to be a regular upkeep of all thats going on. I will try and keep this up to date every week or two with everything going on. I will include some dates for events coming up, new products on the market and also anything else i can come up with. First off though, a big well done to the lads at Affinity Juggling from swords who just released their first video, lets see more from you guys in the future. UP News:

PLAY Festival:
As we have all heard, Play has been cancelled. It was due to take place 23rd to the 27th of July in Wales but due to an awful amount of bad weather, it has had to be called off.
This has led to a lot of people being stuck with no where to go and plane tickets to the UK so check out the events section on HoP for more details Smile

Phoenix Fire Festival:
The Phoenix Festival starts thursday 17th of July and runs through until saturday and is sure to be a blast! Somehow they have managed to pull the shoebox tour as guests and I for one am gutted I am unable to make it, but believe me, it is going to be a blast!


EJC 2008:
From the 2nd of August until the 10th, Karlsruhe will be host to the EJC.
All details can be found on their website
EJC 2008


Clonakilty Convention:
Set from the 26th September - 28th in the lovely area of Clonakility is the convention I for one cannot wait for. with Acts like Ed "LTC" Adams and Pich from france.
tickets expected to be about €20. all details on their site
www.clonakiltyconvention.com/



Products:

MCP, the scottish staff geek, has taken part with many other staffers from around the world and brought a staff dvd to the masses. containing tutorials for spinning, contact,doubles and more, this is sure to be one not to miss!
