We knew this weeks juggling session would be a bit different, as a local language school had contacted us and asked whether they could bring their students to our weekly meeting to learn juggling. We agreed to this as long as they forewarned us and let us know exactly how many were coming, so we could make sure we had enough equipment (luckily York Jugglesoc lent us some of their workshop kit). So twenty Spanish teenagers came, none had juggled before, but after an hour quite a few could manage several successful throws of a three ball cascade. They also learnt contact juggling, passing, diabolo, club balance and plate spinning. There was some consternation about washing up 30+ mugs if they wanted to join us for tea, but they had to leave early to catch their bus, so we had a late tea break without them. It was quite intense, but a busy week like this will help our coffers and keep us going over the quiet weeks of the summer, their teacher said he might come back to learn more juggling without his class.
Over a cup of tea we wondered if our workshop at the fête/community party at the local park last Sunday would attract any new members, the workshop had been popular and there were plenty of people who could already juggle/diable/poi-wave but no definite recruits. It had been a lovely day to juggle in the park so nothing lost.
