Hello
Jon said to introduce myself to you all, so here I am.
I've been juggling for a while now - I first taught myself a 3b Cascade back in August 2016, and I think I caught the bug shortly thereafter! I've been going to sessions with Fever in Loughborough so some of you know me from there. I'm currently working on 5b cascade (something I've been telling people for at least 6 months now...), but I'm also looking to get my club work a bit more comfortable and learn a couple more 3b and 4b tricks along the way!
To say a little about myself;
I'm Leicester born&bred and work in engineering (packaging processing).
In my free time if I'm not sitting around enjoying the greenery at home then I'm often out camping/hiking (usually Derbyshire)
I'm a big fan of pens and writing equipment, usually more technical/design-work styles rather than arty or creative ones (German > Japanese). Personal favourites (that I own) are a 1970s Kaweco V16 (14c nib version) and a 1967 Parker 51. Favourite (that I don't have yet) is the black Rotring 600 FP - but they're getting increasingly difficult/costly to get hold of. If anyone's having trouble sleeping, I can tell you all about tine alignment and nock mechanisms and you'll be away in no time.
I spend a fair amount of time playing video games but not really anything beyond 6th gen consoles (GC, PS2 etc) - my PB for MKDD All Cup Tour is about 39-40 minutes (i-g t) at the moment.
I'll be at Lestival in a couple of weeks and Catch in July so if anyone wants to say hello in person, please do!
Pete/r
Welcome. You seem similar to me in a number of ways including your name. I'm hoping to get to Catch festival too.
Hi PeterBn. Rotring fineliners are cool, .. you can do fine drawings in a quality of steel engravings or chalcography with them. Do you also use or only collect them and admire their engineered make?
I don't think I could own a pen I couldn't use! Even the more expensive ones get filled and used fairly often!
I don't do an awful lot of drawing, and I don't write for fun or anything, but I write a lot of notes at work and it's always better with a nice pen to do it with!
Rotrings tend to be really nicely built in my experience, and you can tell there's a lot of thought gone into their functionality. I've got a number of Isographs and Rapidographs in my boxes but unfortunately they don't see much use with CAD! I might have to dig them out and do some TD soon...

Hi Peter,
Have we met? Are you coming to Lestival!? Yes! Yes you are!! Do come and introduce yourself, I'm also known as Jay Linn but all the orgs there will be able to point me out.
I live near Leicester. Any time you fancy restarting the Leicester juggling club just let me know and I'll provide equipment and possibly a little funding for you. What I don't possess is the time to do it myself, but I'd love it if we had a juggling club again.

I don't believe we have met - not yet at least!
I'll keep an eye out for you and try to say hello at Lestival
A Leicester group would be good, I have a couple of friends who don't drive (so can't really get out to any other groups easily) but live in the city and may be interested.
