The Mobile Mini Children Circus is an NGO in Afghanistan. They train over 2000 girls and boys in 17 centers in Afghanistan, 3 in Ethiopia, and 3 in Bangladesh to juggle and perform in circuses. They are having a membership drive. In their latest newsletter they say that if they have 300 members they can apply for further funding from the Danish government. It’s 15 € or US$ per year and you can pay on line. I’ve known about them and received their newsletters for more than 20 years but this is the first time I’ve read about membership.

World Juggling Day UK

Announcement from the organisers of Slackfest - World Juggling Day UK

World Juggling Day UK

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Slackfest will be taking a fallow year in 2026.
2025 was a massive success having built upon previous years- with your help, support and feedback- and we wish this to continue moving forward.
Last year we reached maximum capacity on-site which we were thrilled about, but it also brings it's challenges!!
The Core Team reflected on the commitment needed to put on this years event both safely and successfully, and the difficult decision was taken, due to lacking the resources and secondary team members/ support, to put on a show that we can all come together for.
The Core Team will be coming together again this September to start planning 2027 which of course, we're very excited about!!
But if anyone feels that they'd like to contribute in any way, no matter how small, please do get in touch. We are a community lead festival and your input will always be gratefully received.
We will of course keep you updated as we get moving with it later this year.
But for now at least, from all at the Slackfest Team, have a great summer and we'll see you in 2027!
❤️ Big love to you all ❤️

This could be an opportunity to discuss with the EJA ideas about how best to communicate online, facilities at EJC in Ptuj, and other things.

Nice that there was this opportunity. The notice was indeed too short.
OTOH I would not have participated on the google platform.
Thanks for informing Mïark.

Hey, I want to buy a 14 ball set for numbers juggling, but I don't know what to exactly

get. I want to make sure that I can hold 7 balls in each hand to flash 14 balls.

Is there anyone who has any advice? I already have a 9 ball set that I train with.

I use gballz e8 70g minis. But I want slightly bigger, also how underfilled do they need to

be?

momo - - Parent

Perhaps you have somebody near to you that juggles infinitys so you could try if they work for you. They are usually at EJCs where you could try them. They let you configure weight, filling and size.

Hi, the nest festival I will be attending is Portland juggling festival and I'm currently working on four ball mills mess.

Joseph the juggler - - Parent

Welcome to the edge! Yeah, the 4 ball mill mess is quite hard to learn.

I don't even have it down that good. What do you focus on? numbers juggling or tricks?

Joseph the juggler -

I was wondering how many people can currently qualify 9 balls?

because I plan to successfully do it within the next 15 days before I turn 15.

...over a hundred, we found in collaboration and from most various sources - naturally then lacking a surely major number of 9-ballers never online or not in a community or unknown due to a language barrier (asia, ...)

7b_wizard - - Parent

oh, .. and good luck, we're on your side here :-)

Joseph the juggler -

I was wondering, how many people can flash 10 balls?

I'm sure you can't give a exact number but I would like to have

a estimate.

RustyJuggling - - Parent

No fewer than 49, based on Juggling-records.com. I would guess more like 100-150 range, but that could still be putting it too low.

Joseph the juggler - - Parent

thanks, I hope to be in the top 50 numbers jugglers someday.

Joseph the juggler - - Parent

I was really close to flashing 10 balls today.

I got 9 catches and barely missed the 10th

John R - - Parent

Estimating from the other direction, if about 1 in 10 people can flash 3 balls, there are about 8 billion people alive, and the number drops off by 90% for each extra ball, you might guess 8 x 10^9 x 10^-8, or about 80 people. Which is surprisingly close!

Has anybody seen photos of the site of the EJC 2026 in Ptuj? Are there inside photos of the gyms? Where is the information? Here [0] is only text, even not mentioning the size of the gyms. The text: "24h Hall, Day Hall, Acro/Aerial Hall, and Kids Hall" reads for me like there is 1 gym open 24/9 and the other gym only for the day and closes at night. Also there will be a Acro/Arial hall and a kids hall. I am a bit sad that there is so little information. Does anybody know more?

#ejc2026

btw. there are only 77 gala show tickets left.

I haven't seen anything yet, every post about the EJC is made "without photos". I'd love to see more of it too!
