This Saturday we will be meeting at 3pm at the Lynbrook Library. We have been growing at a steady pace. If anyone is in the area we have a bunch of throwers with above average skills to hang out with.
As always plenty of beginners and newbies so everyone is welcome.
Hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend

Might rain. There is a playground with a over head cover, near the gazebo, that will work great. If it’s too windy and cold I’ll reschedule, but we are on for now and looks like we will have a nice turn out. If you are in the area please come and hang out.

Happy father’s day to all.
Yesterday was so great. I’ve been hosting the club for over a year and we have a nice crew showing up now. 5 grownups throwing yoyos and talking about yoyos, history, and collections. And about 4 kids learning to throw. None of the regulars from the library came (i think due to the change in venue, i probably need to do better at getting the word out but it’s growing). In September we will be back in the library and I’m sure the 2 groups will join.
I want to encourage anyone reading this to go for it and start a club at your library or any venue that won’t charge you a fee. With a little time people will start coming and you might find other skilled thrower. @blacklabel9567 found me on this thread, and it turns out he lives near my job so we actually hung out at his place for yoyo day during my lunch. One of the dad’s that came yesterday is a closet collector of some kind, he was able to ID my G2, Mowl, and MFD yoyos without help, usually people just ask if that’s a Duncan. He couldn’t land a trapeze last month, and hes now landing trapeze, brother and brother Slack combos.
Throwing with 4 friends and a bunch of kids was exactly why i started this, that and to give back to the community or whatever positive vibe… but seriously if your tired of throwing solo in your basement or infront of your family, please go for it and start a club. Once a month, consistency and it will grow.
My spidey/ Venom collection because this is what started this journey.

Running a club is easy it really boils down to pick a place and tell people you are bringing a yoyo
