Fewer jugglers came this year than usually. The fact that it began officially only Saturday, that it was fare from most Swiss town and from Germany and that no camping was available could be reasons. Also juggling is not as popular as it was a few years ago. But this has its advantages. We feel more like a big family with many human contacts, and the possibility to meet every participant.
Workshops can take place spontaneously, the organisation remain simple.
One thing I loved in this convention and in many previous one, is that many participants are helping without being asked. I appreciated particularly the help of Bettina and her sister Maja. They decided to stay at the station Friday evening to welcome jugglers arriving late. They always help in the background to make things work better. Bettina also organised the games.
