History

The first British Juggling Convention was a two day convention in London in 1988, organised by Max Oddball and Charlie Holland. Since then it has been run by a different team in a different location each year, reaching a high of almost 2000 attendees in Coventry in 1992.
See the BJC History page for more facts, figures and stories. If you've got information, stories or anecdotes of your own, please feel free to add them!

Who organises the BJC?

The short answer is "Anyone who wants to!" Read the page How is the BJC organised? for an overview of the organisational structure, which is mainly conspicuous by its absence.

Does that mean I could run one?

Maybe you could!

Right! I'm submitting a bid. What's next?

How this site works

Here, anyone can edit anything. Things you read are not the statements of any authoritative "BJC organisation". Please don't use anything here as your only source of legal advice. If you see anything that's wrong, please fix it.

The wiki will be a better place if everybody tries to write factual material rather than opinions. People don't always do too well at sticking to this, so edits or comments on the Discussion page are very welcome!

You could use the the 5 headings in the navigation bar on the left as a starter. Most of the pages are categorised and there is a list of categories in alphabetical order. There is also a list of pages on the wiki or you can use the search facility to find what you are looking for.
