The organisers of the Three Ring Circus MTB competition at Exeter, NSW have added a new "Unicyclist" category this year, and are keen to have riders to compete in either the individual or team events.
The event is on July 25th in the Wingello state forest (between Goulburn and Moss Vale) - all the details at the event website.
Check out this ABC's Behind the News show in which reporter, Sarah Larson, recently interviewed Brandon about his street unicycling.
If you like to mix circus and juggling with your unicycling, then make sure you're at the Sydney Juggling Convention next weekend - 23-26 January 2010. If you can't make it to the Convention, don't miss SirkusCircus show, featuring many top performers from SJC - now on Saturday 23 Jan 2010 at the Factory Theatre (Bookings: (02) 9550 3666 or on the Factory Theatre website).
Sydney Unicycle Hockey are playing some demonstration games at Spring Cycle this Sunday 27th September, at Olympic Park in Sydney.
All unicyclists are welcome to come along and join in! Bring a red and a black T-shirt if you can (and your unicycle, and gloves!)
We'll be playing from 11.00-11.40am and 1.20-2.00pm at the 'Grand Challenge Medal Area' on Olympic Boulevard, near the Novotel.
Also, at least two Sydney unicycle riders will be taking part in the Spring Cycle ride itself - the main route is 40km, from North Sydney to Homebush, so go out and cheer them on if you can!
The fourth annual NRMA Community CareFlight Day was held on Sunday 13 October 2009 in Tahmoor in NSW. Jaryd Harris, Uninats 2009 Junior Champion, entertained the crowd with his unicycling skills in demonstrations held throughout the day. The event raised funds for the NRMA CareFlight, which operates all over NSW and assists at many tragic accidents on a daily basis. It is not restricted to rural areas and has helped save thousands of lives. For more information about Jaryd's activities, check out his website
Jaryd Harris, who took out the Uninats 2009 Junior Champion award, has made headlines in the South West Rocks newspaper (see 28 July 2009).

They have 2 restaurants in there, a posh one and Family Tables. Family Tables has food at good prices and you are not waiting around all night. They have snooker tables if people are not ready for bed.

Revesby YMCA has showers for those going straight to the workers club.
Memberships run 1 July - 30 June, so if you only have joined the A.U.S for one year then your membership would have expired. You can renew online or at the event. A 3 month temporary membership is also available.
