Clearing out
I’ve been rummaging through a number of boxes, which I’ve been meaning to sort through for years. I’ve found something rather special.
It’s the receipt from my first ever juggling convention. Over the last few years, it’s bothered me that I can’t quite pin down which year I started juggling in. One of the landmarks I had been unable to pin down was my first convention.
I was there for a single day – Sat 2nd Oct 1993 – It doesn’t really help me to date when I learnt to juggle though, but I remember being able to juggle clubs by that point. I also remember Mushy Pea Jon, compering the games, wearing a chicken suit and standing on a step ladder.
