I need more volunteers to lead workshops at NAUCC beginning at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, July 13.
We’ll be playing lots of games in the gym that evening, but we can run some workshops too. There will be workshops at various other times during the convention, from Wednesday through Sunday.
Even if you aren’t an “expert,” please sign up to lead a workshop or two. It’s all about sharing information, so if you can help get a group organized, that would be great.
We’ll be using a daily message board during the convention to announce times and places for workshops.
Here’s a list of some of the sessions we’ll run if we can. Many still need leaders. Please let me know if you can help out and when.
If you’re interested in attending any of these, please respond here or send me an e-mail. I’ll try to notify you of the workshop time and place once NAUCC begins if I know you’re interested in attending.
If you have other ideas for workshops and discussions, please let me know.

Thanks Tom.
As far as NAUCC, at that time I still wasn’t sure I’d be going and, since I ain’t good enough in any :o thing to compete, I wasn’t worried about the competitors price increase.
Eveyone is good enough to compete at a unicycle convention. We will always be about having fun. We have everything from the top champions to the first-timers, and something for everyone.
I wanted to bump this one back to the top. I amost didn’t even see it! If you’re coming to NAUCC in Salt Lake City, please get involved in the workshops. Share skills you have, or c’mon down and check out what others are offering. There is much to see, learn and do! Some of these workshops are just thinly veiled games and other participation stuff too.
Like the Sumo workshop I will probably conduct…
All you folks in Utah, Colorado, Idaho and otherwise within a day’s driving distance, if you’re not going to Japan, you should not miss this event! It’s nothing like anything else you’ve ever been to. It’s every kind of unicycling, all in one place where you get to see, experience, and try all sorts of things. You will meet all kinds of interesting people. NAUCC may not return to this part of the country for many, many years. The USA has been doing this for over 30 years, and this is the first convention in this whole section of the country. Come on down!
