O.k it's now been 2 months since the Yokel Jugglers went to Endorse it in Dorset and i have finally got off my arse to write the blog for it.

It was great!!!! We had a reallt nice tent which we were able to use for workshops and free play and we never stopped, not only did we have the kids learning new Circus skills but we had the parents joining in as well, yet again the dads were doing their best bump and gring whilst hula hooping. We had many regulars who came back each day to learn more tricks, i can safely say we had our own little fan base.

I let one man try walking on stilts and i think i nearly had a heart attack! I was holding has hand a lot tighter then he was holding mine.

Craig was overwhelmed by the amount of people wanting to learn Contact Juggling. lots of people wanted to buy his balls!

Juggling as always was a great success and i even managed to teach a young man the basics of juggling and diabolo, which at the moment the basics are all i know.

Balancing Peacok feathers went down a storm, we havent got them out before and although a few got damged it filled the tent with a sea of feathers levitating through the air, it was a sight to see!

Poi & Hula hoop workshops were also successful, though occasionally a little chaotic.

We made friends with the Pixie Chill guys who very kindly stored our equipment for us when we werent on and joined them in the evening to illuminate their chillout area with L.E.D Poii, Hula Hoops and Juggling Clubs. It was beautiful contrast with their solar powered forest.

Crew camping was fun, it was nice and spacious and the toilets were always clean and filled with loo roll (the whole site was). The food was good and you got free teas if you took your own cup to the cafe! Now how cool is that?

There were many pirates around the wholesite and on the Sunday it was Ladies day, there were so many men who dressed up as women, they were brilliant. It was quite muggy on the sunday so they probably really appreciated the lack of clothing.

From the feedback i got from all the other Yokel i think we would like to go back next year and do it all again. It was good experience for us to do something so big and now we know what to expect we can do it even better next year!
