  1. 2 days (19 & 20) March (Sat/Sun) with hall space to sleep in.

    i.e. TOMMORROW

    Details here: -

    I'm planning to run an origami workshop/skills swap on Saturday.

    There's a wide variety of terrain for unicyclists within easy reach of
    the hall.

    This will be an excellent convention- really big hall with everything in
    one place, space to sleep overnight and a superb line-up for the show.

    I'm quite looking forward to this.

    I'll be the one on a two wheeler; come and say hello!

    Cheers,

    Roger

  3. Unicycle.com crew are coming down too. Should be a good weekend.

    So will there be space for unicycling in the hall? I'm tempted to pop up
    on Saturday.

    If today was anything to go by, it will be plenty warm enough to go
    outside.

    The weather doesn't bother me, after all at Emunicyclists we play
    unicycle hockey outside every week come wind rain or snow (it's fun in
    the snow).

    Any way my son has decided that we are going so who am I to argue.

  7. Yes will bring the Supersize to Shefcon. Leigh will also be there as
    well. :-)

    It is an excellent unicycle if you want to go in a straight line... but
    not good if you want to turn. It has a serious level of grip and just
    does not want to turn. It also weighs a ton!

  8. Any thoughts/comments/feedback from the unicyclists who came to
    shefcon?

    Post them here and I'll pass them on the the organisers.

    I think most of the unicyclists went home on Saturday, but the
    convention carried on all saturday night, through to 4 pm sunday, then
    on to a nother hall till 9 pm for the truly hardcore.

    On reflection I didn't ride my unicycle at all, other than to ride down
    to the hall from home; I was fully occupied with juggling/spinning and
    running the origami workshop.

  10. I've passed on your compliments to the organisers.

    Glad you liked the origami 🙂

    It's probably worth checking your local library for origami books, they
    often have a few in the 'crafts' section.

    The diagrams can be initially tricky, but with a bit of practice they
    become very easy to follow. Start off with the basic models and build up
    gradually.

    Good luck.
