EJC 2005 in Ptuj (Slovenia)
With over 3000 registered jugglers, the EJC proved once again that it's able to attract jugglers even to remote sites like Ptuj in Slovenia. From August 14th to August 21st there was rain, sun, mud, the parade, press water games, water games, official games...
Here's a selection of all the pictures we've taken at EJC 2005 - shows, games and parade as well as site and daily EJC life. If that's not enough, please have a look at our link section below for even more pictures!

EJC 2005 Ptuj - Monday The rain started to flood the site, but some jugglers used it as a possibility to train volleyclub under extreme conditions... in the afternoon there was the parade which led the jugglers to the opening show in Ptuj with a few first juggling games afterwards. |

EJC 2005 Ptuj - Tuesday There were no main events on Tuesday, so everybody tried to stay as dry and clean as possible. One way to do so was to visit the gym which unfortunately wasn't really close to the site. |
