Latest uni class / club update
We have one week left for the official close of the uni class. The class has been well received by the participants and the church who is allowing us to us the gym. I just got approval to keep using the gym on a weekly basis and most of our present riders are excited that we have a weekly meeting place. We now have a core group of unicyclists and a weekly meeting place which is crucial to my plans for growth of the sport in our area. We average 10 riders per session and are continuing to see people showing interest in learning. A couple of known riders from the area have yet to show up to join us for an evening. As I had planned (and hoped!), the class has given us a solid foundation for the beginnings of a club. I am very pleased with the fruits of our labor. I say "our" because of the great support I have had from some of the other people in our group. I initiated the class and got it started, but much credit goes to Chris and Bob (unidaddy). Chris has done a great job of recruiting others to join us and Bob has been selfless in helping me teach the newbies. Thanks guys! To celebrate the completion of the class and the "beginning" of our uni club (unofficialy a club) we are riding in a local Christmas Parade. Looks like we will have at least 8 local riders in the parade! Needless to say, I am pumped! Next step will be to organize a leadership group, establish some goals and move forward with plans for club unicycles, trials props, performances (for promotion and fundraising) and for recruiting more members. Looks like 2005 is going to be a big unicycling year for Washington County.

We don't have a name yet. We're just the group that meets on Tuesday nights at the church. I don't think a name is critical at this point, especially since we have a weekly practice time. How important do you think a club name is for the growth of the group?

Bill sounds like things are going well. I got the CD and plan on playing around with it in a couple of weeks. Thanks for getting it out for me. Here is a name for your new club... WOW.

hmmmmm, I think i'll have to move out west a bit and join in on the fun : ) Glad unicyclings spreading so fast for you guys. Over here I guess it's slowed down a bit, some of the kids that come to the youth center still try to ride now and then, and my 2 unicycle buddys still ride, things will probably pick up when it gets warmer. I also have a student, but haven't taught her in a week or two, oh well : ) Thanks for the update, Andrew -- KJ-52 - unicycle teacher grey jackets rock!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ KJ-52's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/5614 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/36359 |

it's good to hear things are going well i don't think a name is crucial yet eventually, i'm sure the sociologists will agree, a club name will create more of a sense of belonging i'm pretty sure a name will suggest itself at some stage besides, u'll need to put something on your club T-shirts -- GILD - Waffle-Tosser and Time-bider if you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here by me.-- alice 'roosevelt' (http://tinyurl.com/5ngze) longworth i'm going to memorize your name and throw my head away.-- oscar levant 'NAMASTE!'

Only 5 hours west of us is the Wood One Wheelers, a well established club. It wouldn't be right to have 2 clubs with WOW name next to each other. I like the idea of having an acronym with the name that stands on its own. Like WOW and SWAT (Single Wheeled Attack Team, Philly, PA). GILD - serious promotion efforts will need a name for the t-shirts, flyers, web-site, etc. There are lots of benefits to having a name, but at present we can be TGTRUOTN (pronounced Tig-Trooten) or The Gang That Rides Unicycles On Tuesday Nights.

Monongahela River Monowheelers MRM. Pronounced "Murm". Your club cheer, as you road gnat-like, swarming, in the parades or passing hikers while MUni could be a very low, down around low-low Dflat, almost inaudible "murmermurmermurmer" uttered by all members. (tehe) You could have MRM-men and MRM-maids -- Memphis Mud - Student of GrandMaster 2T Mantra: Avoid Hitting Tailbone...Avoid Hitting Tailbone...
