Input also via yoyoexpert.com

I have a post up in the "contests, clubs and events" forum @ yoyoexpert  if it is easier to post there for everyone. Any input is appreciated.

Meeting at sundial

I was thinking once we get a few members we could plan to meet and yo at the sundial bridge once a month or so. Get some exposure to the non yoyoing community. And maybe find some yoyoers that have been hiding in the shadows and get them to join the club.

First road trip

   We definitely need to put together a road trip to bird in hand and the national yoyo museum in Chico as one of the first club activities. I actually have a ProYo ace customized with my user name from a very old yoyo site on display in the museum.  The owner was interested in it as it is fairly rare. I think only 100 were made. So I traded him for my #109 pyro lite. I wonder if I could trade or buy it back?

Need feedback for first meeting

Well well after all these years it looks as though there is enough interest in the club to start talking about the first meeting. I work Tuesday-Friday and have most weekends booked up. So...maybe a weekday evening 7-8 pm. Let me know which day you think and if that time works. Also which pizza place does everyone (everyone lol. I think we will have about 6 members to start) most of them have meeting rooms we can try to book. If someone wants to come up with a logo go for it. That's all I have for now, please let me know your thoughts and let's make this happen.

Collection needs an update

I think I'm due for a trip to Chico to pick up something new

Fyi. Looks as though all my pics from my old reviews are gone. It HAS been six years since I did them. I'll work on replacing them when I get some time. I will also add a couple new reviews. I have actually bought a couple new yo-yo's since 2008 :-)

Maybe it will happen?!

I started this blog MANY years ago hoping to start up a yo-yo club in Redding. Unfortunately I received little to no interest. But..... Recently I have had contact from a few interested souls. Seems they vary in age from early teen to myself (a young 47!) although now with a 3 yr. old boy (future yo-yo er) I have had little time to practice or learn anything new. I do have a personal yo-yo on display at the yo-yo museum in Chico.  I may not be an Augy Fash but in Redding terms I have quite advanced skills, along with a dwindling but still sweet yo-yo collection. So....I propose we schedule the first ever meeting of the redding yo-yo club. I can reserve a meeting room at a local pizza joint on a night and time designated by our fledgling members. We can discuss how to procure additional members, a logo for the club, possibility of an annual Redding yo-yo comp!? I'm thinking the "sundial bridge yo-yo contest and art festival" hmm hmm could happen with a little work. Multiple stages along the bridge with yo-yo ers doing 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, kendama etc etc with different bands of varying genre, food vendors the WORKS! I think it has potential. Contact me via this blog with any input and a preferred place to hold the first meeting. As with the yo-yo club in Chico, if you expose new people (kids of all ages) to the art of yo-yoing interest and participation will grow.
