Hi Fellow Unicyclists
At last!! The official announcement that the BUC 2006 will be held in Scarborough. Details below! I'm sorry this has taken so long but with one thing and another (being ill with a flu bug for nearly 6 weeks doesn't help!!) getting people to confirm things is so frustrating!!

Moor Lane
Eastfield
Scarborough

Hurrah, its official.

Steve, is it out door or indoor camping this year?

Would be great if someone take Videos of that event and contribute a cut of it to unicycle.tv after. We are looking for Videos like that. A country convention gives a good impression how people like to ride in that country.
So if there is something who still know that he will be there with an Video Cam, please contact us under olaf@unicycle.tv

If last years Scarborough juggling and unicycle convention (at the same venue) is anything to by it’ll be outdoor camping.

Hopefully they’ll be time to go to the awesome local downhill and Roger can ride it with a seat this time

[cathwood]

The design's improvable but all the detail is there (and whoever put Tubbs & Edward as the picture for the local shops deserves a medal). I think (looking at the stuff thats up already) that some sensible recommendations need to be made, such as long trousers & sleeves when riding on the astroturf. That stuff strips skin like nothing else, being a mixture of sand and abrasive plastic 'grass', and it could be a nightmare if you keep falling onto it.

Loose.

Hmm can't see any mention of where the hockey will be

At the Scarborough juggling and unicycle convention we played on the astoturf and it was not nice (I'm being polite). I hope that's not the plan for BUC...

BTW hall 1 would be nice

[unicycleboy]

I think it was hinted on the website for the place for hockey to be on that astoturf or that might of been my mind playing tricks on me i dont mind where hockey is at really :P but im sure there will be space and time in some of the halls for it.

I hope so too, if either of the steves is watching this thread, how about traders and practise space in hall 2, and hall 1 for hockey, basketball, freestyle comp ,workshops, games etc.
