    Hey folks,

    I'm volunteering again with the Street Performance World Championships and I have an exclusive invitation for two Boards.ie Photography Forum members.

    blog-header-2010-both.jpg

    The Championships are on in Cork this weekend and in Dublin from Thursday to Sunday next week, June 16 to 20. On June 20 at 2pm, we're holding a World Record Attempt on Mount Street, off Merrion Square. It's going to look a little something like this:

    World%20Record%20Space%20Hopper.jpg

    We're inviting 1,500 people to bounce on SPACE HOPPERS at Merrion Square.

    From the Facebook page:
    Maybe we're completely bonkers (and maybe you are too) but could you be one of 1,500 people who do something completely off the wall for no reason at all and bounce space hoppers with us into the Guinness Book of World Records?

    At 2pm on Sunday 20th June on Upper Mount St, Dublin 2, outside the Pepper Canister Church, we need 1,500 fans of the SPWC to plonk their gorgeous behinds on a space hopper each and bounce like they have never bounced before.

    We could break a world record!

    To guarantee a spot at one of the most random things you will ever do in Dublin, please email worldrecord@spwc.ie to register your name.

    The world record is not just for the good of your bums. All participants will be asked to donate to a wonderful charity, Africa Aware, which helps AIDS orphans and abandoned children in Malawi. Recommended donations are from €2 to €10 but if you've had fun on your space hopper and you're feeling generous, then our collectors will definitely accept more!

    It's all for a great cause.

    Would you like to be on the media bus to get some good shots? It'll be an open top double decker on Mount Street where the media will be based.

    If you're interested in taking some shots in either Cork or Dublin, or indeed being on the media bus below, just leave a comment below and I'll pick and be in touch before the events.

    Thanks

    Darragh

    throw my name into the hat (for dublin) .... and if anyone wants to send pics from the street performance championships to the papers I'll facilitate..... images from Dublin or Cork...doesnt matter.

    images will need to be sent asap and will need full details of :
    - who the person(s) is/are...in the pic
    - why they are there
    - what they are doing
    where are they

    ie. Joe Bloggs performing a sword swallowing trick on grafton street as part of the Street Performance Championships in Dublin/Cork last weekend.Pic: (YOUR NAME)

    if you get printed - I'll show you how to invoice and who to invoice and how much to invoice for...its different for each paper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 246 ✭✭Hearvee

    just a quick point, there will be plenty of local jugglers around, so if its just random people juggling in the park and you are looking for information, feel free to give me a message and i can probably give you their names and/or contact details :)
