   12:00 pm  Contact Ball Beginner with Chris Brown in Workshop Area 2

Different one I imagine ? 

Sounds awesome, very disapointed I can't make it 

[nev]

soooo pee'd I cant make it - Dorset is just perfect - I'll be havin my own druids brew and thinking of you all

[Mark BMC]

Great question

It ain't that Chris brown,  we did enquire about booking Mark Morrison 

Mark Morrison Return of the Mack

But he was doing a fete in slough.

Yeah our Chris Brown has got nothing against rehahahanana, he is bold and looks like Ming the mercyless which is enough for me. Ow and Simon says that if you ain't at Southern lights 2010 he will cry then hit you with a fire staff. 

That is all.

p.s Nev you at Witchwood? I'm there working/drinking with Flame.

Mark mid 90's forgettable r.n.BMC

[Ben.]

pub quiz will be jokes.

anyone that comes to my workshop WILL be guaranteed to learn a trick.
Hows THAT then Wes Peden?!

[Spink]

i think i'm going to do this, is any one travelling (train od otherwise) from yorkshire?

also Mark you better look after me and give me hugs.

also i'm a d**k and have lost my precious circus's's's's  and sticks, can i buy them from there or do i need to stop off some where and get some?

and do i need to bring my own medicine??

[Olive]

Can't wait for this one, last year I only saw a little of it and was very saddened to not have festivaled it up properly.

What you going to teach me Ben? Be seeing you on wednesday...

@ Spink, the stall there may not fully stock circuses, if you get in touch before they may make sure that they have what you're after though? Lovely Jugglies on the t'interweb...

[Mark BMC]

@ Ben- thats the spirit! I'm also gonna be holding a beat peden at a random task game. I'm running the game's so their will be a two high endurance. OPEN CHALLENGE!

@Spink

- Travel- Ill try and put you in contact with the closest person to Ponte who is coming down [ I have all your details muahahahaha]
-perscription -  Ill Pm you
-Circi, I know lovely juggles where selling Circi for a amazing price of £30 quid for 2 at Bath and if you contact him and drop my name I'm sure Dave will bring 2 along for ya.

Olive- Great to have some female diabolism's their to make it slightly less of a .ca sausage fest.

One more idea, for those who are not driving I know lugging larger about is gonna be a hassle as their is no local shop to speak of .SO If I buy communal.ca beer  and make people chip in does that sound like a plan?

[Hathaway]

I'll bring potatos, we shall make our own vodka. Simples.

http://www.squidoo.com/How-To-Make-Potato-Vodka

Doesn't actually look that hard, perhaps we should... I'm sure Andy could knock up an amazing distillery for us

[Mark BMC]

  I have no reply

[looby]

Gents, I'm gutted to be missing this, its just too close to my first summer holiday in 6 years and getting the time off work is not doable (I'd basically be asking for the entirety of June off if i wanted to go).....

It sounds like it'll be amazing so someone bring a camera along to catch some moments, BMC vs Toby in the 2high off should be epic.

See you all at the BJC ,something else I'm struggling to get the time off for

[Mark BMC]

Hello again!

I think Toby might have me beat at two high but ill have a go. Ill also challange any diaboloist to a 5 ball endurance contest. Okay latest from the Team...


DON'T LEAVE IT TO THE LAST MINUTE TO GET YOUR TICKETS!
We are selling out quicker than in the prievious two years and once the tickets are gone, we can't issue any more so if you snooze, you lose

We are also pleased to announce the SHUTTLE BUS SERVICE. We are offering a shuttle bus service from Wareham train station to the site however it will only be going from the station to the site NOT supermarkets, shops or anything. If you do need stuff, get it before getting on the shuttle. Cost will be £5 for a return trip per person. Times are:

Friday 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm
Saturday 10am, 12pm, 2pm
Sunday 2pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm
Monday 10am and 12pm

These times coincide with the arrival and departure times of the London to Weymouth line and the station you need is WAREHAM. The bus can't wait or deviate from it's schedule and will be in the car park the same side you get off the train, there is no need to cross the tracks. We will have Southern Lights posters in the windows but we will have to give it back to the rental agency in a decent condition!

That is about all for now, any questions, please get in touch via the ”contact” page on the website

[Toby]

Only a week to go! This is gonna be a real whizz-banger!

[Mark BMC]

[Olive]

If you can get to Glastonbury I could probably squeeze you into a car, there's a group of us going, I'm not driving but there is a few spaces in a people carrier?

And I cannot wait.

[Hathaway]

So looking forward to this, roll on the sunshine!

[Spink]
