Because we’re a club of people who juggle clubs, we’re a club club.Cincinnati Club Club is an affiliate of the International Jugglers Association. We welcome all jugglers at any skill level to our club. So you can’t juggle? Come on by and we’ll teach you. We are a non-profit organization that promotes fun.

We are a local branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc that covers the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.  The SCA is an international, educational, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the re-creation and study of pre-17th century technology and culture.

Yeah, yeah, you’ve heard that already. So what does that mean? Well, in plain terms, the purpose of the SCA is first and foremost to have fun.

We dress up in period clothes and get together to show off what we’ve learned from our research, and to teach others what we know. But that’s the barebones explanation. To expand that, think of it this way: Re-creating the past not as it was, but as it should have been. Some people go all out and spend their time in the SCA striving for perfect, period accuracy, but this is not expected of everyone (most of all the newcomer!). The purpose of the SCA is first and foremost to have fun.

-If you wanted run every Saturday of the year you could. Dayton & Cincinnati alternate ever Saturday.

Notes
- You have to do it at least once in your life.
- Runs are not normally that rough, they way the are setup, the slowest joggers keep up with the fastest runners. You don’t have to run hard unless you want to.
- “Hash” has nothing to do with the drug. You follow hash marks on the ground to chase the “Hare”

Cincinnati is in bad need of some civic spirit. I propose formation of a City of Cincinnati fan club, a simple boosters organization whose sole purpose is to promote and encourage civic pride in our Queen City!But that’s as far as I got with the idea. A cool website that sells merchandise would be a start. We would need a lot of designs and logos.

They already have a store for us! The I Love Cincinnati Shoppe in Tower Place downtown has the right idea, but needs to work on promotion, presentation, and most definitely merchandise.(The purely Cincinnati merchandise, excluding the sports paraphanelia, leaves much to be desired.)

As for a name for this group, at last check the following domains are still available.
