Chocfest 15
The usual hall at #Hastings is being used as a homeless shelter over winter so we had the run of St John's Church instead. While waiting outside to get the keys sorted everyone spent time congratulating Rob & Laura on getting engaged earlier in the month. Well done guys. After the correct key was located I managed to not burst into flames as I entered the building which was a result. The first thing we all did was have a good explore around the place. I may not be a believer but I still find old churches to be fascinating & beautiful buildings. Naturally I took the opportunity to juggle 7 balls from the pulpit. Rob & Laura did some front to back passing while sitting in the pews. I had left my skates at home because I didn't want to do any damage to the place but apparently the pastor was all for unicycling down the aisle so Kev dutifully obliged. I also managed to pull off my first ever bird fly over the valley with the kendama which made me very happy.
Anyone remember the Belgian Tournai Convention in a church in 1991? Juggling, sleeping, strange multi-person cardboard box games at night ......
Juggling in, out, over, under through (?) the pulpit. No flames there either.
Churches have height.
Nope, don't remember it at all :(
What were the cardboard box games & why haven't we played them at Hastings?

Occasionally York Jugglers (#YorkJugglers) have to move in to the church when the church hall is being used by somebody more important. It is alledgedly the tallest church in York so it has plenty of ceiling height, but sadly the fixed pews limit the available floor space. Josh filmed part of the new Shreddie Crunch video in the church.
Selby Abbey was quite successfully used as a one-day juggling convention venue for Chocfest 14 (#Chocfest14) and Chocfest 15 (#Chocfest15).

From time to time the Monday night juggling in Bristol has had to move out of the church hall and in to the church (not sure how recently they've had to do this though - it's been a long time since I was a regular)
It always felt a bit "odd" as if we shouldn't be there, but it's a nice high space.
I guess I'm another one in the "non-believer, but I really like the buildings" camp. As well as the interesting architecture, I find churches to be nice places for a bit of a sit down and a think (which I suppose, is one of their chief design goals) - I'm also rather fond of the ceramics gallery in Bristol Museum as well for the same purpose - probably because it's not very interesting so no one ever visits it ;)
I've been going to #altern8 for 8 years, and that's never happened in my time. You must have a long memory. :)

Well I've not been a regular since I moved house 7 years ago...
The usual excuse was always that the hall was occupied for a show/panto, perhaps they're just not putting on as many of those as they used to :)
Oh, they still do that, they just don't offer us an alternative. We either go down the pub instead, or just don't bother. :) #lazyjuggler

The last time they moved us into the church was when they re-decorated the hall, and it took several weeks to do so they moved all the evening events. At a rough guess I think that was late 1990s.
