Notes and other details

The campsite was at Wollaton Hall, a 1 mile walk or 3 mile drive from the gym and show tents. The gym was carpeted to prevent unicycles from damaging the floor (but the unicyclists subsequently rolled some of this carpet up). Because of a last-minute panic regarding licensing regulations, the British Juggling Association was formed and the event became "members only". Membership lasted one year and got you free entry into the convention. The swimming pool was also available for use for a £1 admission. On site there were 3 tents including a Swamp tent. This convention ran into financial difficulties.
