  1. hi

    i have been unicycling for around a year now and am thinking about
    meeting up with some other unicyclist in the uk. i was looking around on
    the unicycle.uk.com site and found that the south west uni meet is up
    coming.

    i was wondering how many riders are actaully going to this uni meet and
    wether its worth the travel(from southampton to wherever it is).

    if you or anyone you know is going please feel free to reply and give me
    and other forum users some details on what its like(if youve been
    before).

    thanks very much

    joe

  2. I'll be there.

    It is well worth going. I expect there will be a few people from 'round
    your way' so you might be able to car share.

    We usually have a few games (hockey, basketball, gladiators, musical
    unicycles, and more) and a few workshops. You'll come away with a whole
    load of stuff to practice and maybe a new trick or two.

  3. I'll be there, with my 6-y-o.
    as you're only coming from Southampton it's definitely worth it.
    I'm coming from London, others will be coming from Surrey/Hampshire
    borders, and from up north too.

  4. I'll be going - excellent fun, even if I'm not really into hockey 😉
    (sorry Sarah - I haven't been converted yet)

    Very friendly people, well worth the trip I say. But it's easy for me
    to say that being so close!

  6. Thanks for the heads up Nick.

    I recon the SW uni meet is well worth going to, its an excellent chance
    to meet other riders try new things and be inspired with new ideas for
    stuff to try.

    Of course I'm biased, I'm one of the organisers :-)

    I started the SW meets because I liked going to meets and wanted one to
    happen in my region. Ithink they are good fun days and hope they can
    continue to happen, which means people need to keep on coming along.
    As Nick pointed out, this time we are NOT in Exeter, this meet is at
    Ashburton, just off the A38 between Exeter and Plymouth. Details and
    directions are on the website at

    http://www.uk.unicyclist.com/swum.html

    Its always really helpfull to the reg team if you have looked at the
    details and bring roughly the right money to pay for your
    regsistration. Please Please bring non marking tyre and plastic pedals
    and saddle ends as its hall we havn't used before and we don't want to
    get chucked out for damageing the floor. If you can't remove your metal
    pedals you will have to cover them with card and tape to avoid hurting
    other riders or the floor.

  8. i don;t as yet know if any traders will be at the meet this time. U.D.C
    have traded in the past, but its an 800 mile round trip for them so they
    don't come every time.
    We will have plastic pedals on sale tho, so if you only have metals
    ones at present you can get some hall friendly ones on the day.
