Whereabouts in the park? Sounds like a lark.

s10 · 08-04-2005 1:21am

if its rainin and no one is playing (with their instruments),

ye i'll be there

Hugh Hefner · 08-04-2005 6:53pm

I'll be there unless something major comes up, which it almost certainly won't. In such an event I'll probably be able to post my not-coming-ness.

So count me in. I'll bring 3 crappy/practice clubs, 3 rings, 6 beanbag balls, 3 DX Balls and one 2.75" acrylic contact ball. Plus a copy of The Complete Juggler by Dave Finnigan (aka Professor Confidence).

If anyone has poi could you please bring them. I've got the weave down but I haven't had a chance to try it on proper poi. I've been using long socks with beanbags in them. Lol.

pwd · 08-04-2005 7:09pm

cool. That's a good book; is what I learned form. Don't think I still have my copy though.
Couple of interesting ideas in it we could try if we have enough people; like a team sport based on juggling called field juggling I think it was.

garthv · 10-04-2005 11:38am

Count me in

/edit
Feck,forgot i had to work on Sunday, that sucks

Quangle · 11-04-2005 12:32am

Count me in. (no kit yet though)

Call_Me,Stan · 11-04-2005 11:01pm

I would have gone, but I'm getting baptised on Sunday.

Ooooooh...! Shiney.

=-=

I'll be up for it.

Adam · 13-04-2005 12:17am

Yeah i will probably put in an appearance, i'm in full support!

larryone · 13-04-2005 11:23am

I might be able to turn up, but not for long.
Weather doesnt look great tho, Saturday looks better. This from met.ie:
"Saturday will be dry with sunny spells and light winds. Sunday will bring spells of heavy rain with strong southerly winds."

cocoa · 13-04-2005 11:37am

lol

I'm busy both days anyway, but i still can't help laughing at that forecast, not that i don't believe it (in all honesty this is not sarcasm, oh crap, sarcasm, by it's very nature is impossible to deny, nuts!)

larryone · 13-04-2005 12:00pm

Hopefully the forecast will improve. The amount of times I've been watching the forecast for weekend activities (rock climbing, caving, etc...) start off looking horrible, and slowing improving to the point where you get glorius sunshine all day - it's crazy. Not that i'd put money on it or anything.

larryone · 14-04-2005 5:27pm

Not looking good:
"Saturday will be dry and mostly sunny. High 13 C. Cold and dry at first Saturday night with frost in places, but wet and windy weather will develop later. Windy Sunday, with heavy rain. But cooler, more showery weather, will set in later in the day and during Sunday night."

pwd · 14-04-2005 8:15pm

Shall we leave it until next Sunday then?
Or would you like to meet on Saturday?
I think the park might be a bit crowded on a Saturday, personally, especially in good weather. Would imagine it would be more enjoyable with fewer people about.

Adam · 14-04-2005 9:00pm

On the contrary, anybody seeing it could be informed of the regularity of the meets that will follow, it would be a good way to welcome new recruits if they see it goin on ya know?

Hugh Hefner · 14-04-2005 9:34pm

I really DON'T think we should push it til nexy Sunday. I say this Sunday. I won't be able to make it on Saturday anyway.

larryone · 16-04-2005 12:21pm

" Wet and windy tomorrow, with some heavy falls of rain in places. Clearer drier weather spreading slowly from the Atlantic later."
If you want to go this sunday bring all your raingear, and leave behing your suede balls. bandstand provides some shelter, but not when the rain is coming in sideways.

I wont be ther as I have a c++ practical exam on monday. good luck to those brave enough to go juggling in the rain.

pwd · 16-04-2005 12:29pm

Yeah we'll leave it at the time it's already scheduled for because changing it now would be messy I think.

Hugh Hefner · 16-04-2005 2:21pm

Nice one. See ya there.

the_syco · 17-04-2005 3:49am

Erm; the parks kind of big. Any place in particular that its going to be at?

Hugh Hefner · 17-04-2005 9:47am

Yeah, the bandstand. The big roofed thing beside the lake. You may know it as a gizeebo.

the_syco · 17-04-2005 5:52pm

Was late

Didn't get there till 3.30pm, and no-one was there. I'll try to get there earlier next week.

Oh, and for those who are looking for bean-bag's to juggle, the Banana Tree in St Stephens Green Shopping Centre has "juggeling balls" (bean-bag balls) for €1.99

pwd · 17-04-2005 6:19pm

shame you must have only just missed us.

Been googling unsuccessfully for pics of the bandstand. It was a good ide to use itr because it offered good shelter from the rain, when it did rain. It is the fairly large, circular shelter, slightly raised and surrounded by a flower bed.

Ah well. I know where it is, so maybe next week.

no i think that's not the same as where we used. Thought equipment might end up in the water if we used that.

... I was waiting @ the wrong one

Pluwease tell me where the one you practice at is. I was told "the one next to the lake". How much more next to the lake can you get

Picrture would be nice. I think there's one in the south-east corner, but I'm not too sure :rolleyes:

My bad.

Directions:-

Coming in through the main gate you go to the left (your left) of the railed off lake. head down until you come to the first right. Take it. head towards the foot of the bridge. Go accross the bridge. You should now be in the central garden with a big fountain. If you look straight ahead you should see a BIG gazebo (apparently also known as a belvedere, hmmm...) with a flower bed encirling it. There you should go.

About where the grey dot is on this map (thank you Google).

Adam · 21-04-2005 9:48pm

Couldn't make it to the first meet, how did it go? Same time this weekend? I have a lot of juggling friends from school who are interested in attending also, probably 4 or 5 would attend on a regular basis. Anyway, suggest you sticky this for notices etc. in the future regarding meets.

It went pretty well. There were hardly record numbers but it was fun.
If there is another this Sunday then I can't make it.
Yeah, I was thinking of stickying it. If pwd will make a more general club thread (as in not one about only the first meet) perhaps entitled "Dublin City Juggling info." or something I'd probably sticky it.

First meeting scheduled for new club!
