We had a lot of fun running our first convention last year and have
decided to do it again. We have changed the location to improve the
infrastructure: We're at a school now. This time there will be more sanitary
services available and a gymnasium is available for night and bad-weather
juggling.
Over the weekend, you'll be able to live and juggle around the school. It's
in the centre of the city, but has quiet surroundings.
You can sleep in your own tents, or in group tents provided by the
organisers. Please notify us in advance if you require a group tent. There is
a parking lot if you want to sleep in your transport.
Public Show: The public show will be put together using
acts from the convention participants, as it used to be. Interested? Then
contact Sven or Uda as much in advance of the convention as you can (see
below for the addresses).
Getting there: Emden is in the north-west of Germany (near
the Netherlands), on the North Sea shore.
- Train: Take a train to Emden Hauptbahnhof, leave the
station. In front you will find the police building. Pass the building on
the left, direction canal, go left to the bridge and straight on to the
street "Steinweg". Follow Steinweg to the left and then after about 300 m
it's on your left hand side (where the campers and jugglers are).
- Car: Follow the A31 until exit EMD/Nord. Turn left at
the lights and then right at the next main intersection with traffic lights
(there will be a sign here: "Fussballstadion"). Follow this road through a
sharp left bend and the school will then be on the right after about 300 m.
Otherwise: Just ask for "BBS II" (say: "bay-bay-ess-tsvay").
