world unicycling day

Hello everybody, I just found out that june 16th is World Juggling Day. What I
want to know is if there is a World Unicycling Day? World juggling day was
basically organized to celebrate the art of juggling and just teach anyone who
wants to learn. Has anyone thought about organizing something like this for
unicycles? Just a thought.

Later, Aj

That sounds like a wonderful idea! I have a suggestion. March 21, the Vernal
Equinox, the beginning of spring which symbolizes the beginning of life and
new energy.

That’s my choice for a date unrelated to unicycling. Otherwise, we can chose
something like the day the USA (probably the first NA) or IUF were founded, or
the day of birth (or death) of Bill Jenack, the father of modern unicycling.

Just my two (devalued) yen.

To be useful, a World Unicycling Day would need a project person, to own it and
do the publicity to try to get events happening around the world. Simply picking
a date won’t make us look good if there are no activities.

The chosen date should be one that is convenient for unicycling events, rather
than lining up with historical events. Also, rather than picking a fixed date,
it would probably be more realistic to say something like “the first Saturday in
April” or something.

If someone were to want to introduce it this year, a date should be chosen at
least a month or two in advance of course.

I think it’s a good idea. Anyone want to run with it?

Just my $0.00 worth…

ohn, your suggestion is very practical. Thanks for bringing me down from
the clouds…

Perhaps sometime August would be best. That is more or less when national meets
and Unicons happen, and because of the summer vacation is a time when more
people are out unicycling.

I have a feeling that the JUA might be interested in this kind of thing. The
Japanese really do like ceremony and ritual. I’ll bring it up.
