For people coming a long way for this.
I'm sorry but I can't have the community hall for pizza in the evening or over night, so you will need to sort out alterntive accomadation if you need it. Let me know if you need pointers. There is a YHA and a Globe backpacker hostel in exeter. Also standard sort of travel inn / holiday inn express places and numerous B&Bs.

For Jan 3rd and our hockey event we DO have the community hall booked already.

[amanda.gallacher]

Yes ist still on. time table to include.
Group routine in a day.
Pairs workshops - no partner required.

I'm still VERY tempted. I've half promised to be somewhere else, but I could always forget... Built up my nice new muni yesterday
I'll see you on the Saturday anyway - haven't ridden my 20" for ages.

[sarah.miller]

Be good to see you Rob. do you mind dong the pedal replacement workshop ( again) at the beginning for those that need plastic pedals?
Mike :-(

any body else want to admit to coming along?
I still have a spare ticket for a free lunch on friday... your chance to recieve a cheque from Exeter City Council on behalf of the SW unicycle meets club.

[rob.northcott]

Yes I'll help out with that - no worries.

It's looking like I won't be able to make the muni ride though without making things very awkward

Yes we'll definitely be coming, the kids have been performing a unicycle music hall act at a local theatre all this week, with pianist backing, in a Sherlock Holmes play. I think they'll want to show this routine off and then increase the technical skills. They performed faultlessly all week resulting in very happy cast and parents
