hi guys
new to all of this so thought i'd say hello and tell you a bit about me:
my name's bronte cowley, studying english literature in queen mary uni of london.. that's the boring stuff though.
my dad was ross cowley, inventor of the fyrefli fireball, and the reason i got into juggling. i juggle balls and clubs but only basically as i only learnt this year. i guess i just want to learn more, get better etc
see you all soon

Bronte, as a university of london juggler I'm disappointed you didn't come to varsity juggling yesterday! UCL (and other non imperial london universities) did come last in the competition, but between London and Oxford we stopped Cambridge winning - so you missed out on a stunning victory really.

Perhaps if the varsity juggling event was listed on the Edge more people would have known about it :P

I hadn't heard of this either! What is "varsity juggling"?!

A juggling 'competition' between Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and other assorted London universities. The event wasn't listed on here because it seemed unnecessary. However one event that is listed here that you certainly should know about is OJCC 2014 on the 14th June (World Juggling Day) which will be great fun, and will include a rock paper scissor tournament.

I thought the Varsity juggling event was only open to members of the three university juggling clubs competing.

That is only partly correct.

I would've loved to be involved! i didn't know QM students could get involved. I was disappointed that there wasn't a juggling society here but if there's a london uni one that i could get involved with i'd love to!
thanks

Hi Bronte,
Welcome to the Edge. I remember watching your dad juggle on a few renegade stages at old BJCs. Delightfully silly style.
Cheers,
Void

Well, if you're at a convention and you see a tall guy dressed in black playing kendama, come and say hi. I didn't know him very well, but I do know Chris, having worked on the Fyrefli stall a few times. Ciao.
