Dear Unicyclist,
You are receiving this email because you attended Unicon 14 in Denmark, and we hope to see you at the next Unicon in Wellington, New Zealand (27th Dec-7th Jan). This email is also being sent to registered participants of Unicon XV. Please accept our apologies if you receive this more than once, or let us know if you do not with to receive further updates.
We are now 6 months away from UNICON XV, and preparations are well underway to host the Worlds first ever Southern Hemisphere Unicon.

Registration update
We have 404 registered participants from 19 different countries. Our biggest teams are from Denmark and Germany with 82 registrations each, and New Zealand with 46 registrations. For the first time, we have unicyclists from as far away as Liechtenstein and Senegal. There are 185 Male competitors, and 121 Female competitors, and 98 registered as non-competitors.
Registration cut-offs
The next registration payment cut-off is 31 August 2009. The registration price is currently NZ$250, but increases to NZ$350 on 1 Sept 2009. Pay for your registration early to get the lower entry price. You can register and edit your entry throughout the year (whether or not you have paid). So if you decide on changing the events you are entered in, you will be able to do so right up until Dec 2009.
Opening Ceremony
This promises to be a spectacular event, with riders doing a parade along the waterfront alongside breathtaking views across Wellington Harbour, then climbing over the City to Sea Bridge to finish at Civic Square. You will be greeted with a Powhiri (traditional Maori welcome), followed by opening ceremony formalities as you arrive at the town square.
New Years Eve Celebrations
This is the first ever UNICON run over the New Year. Party away the last few hours of 2009 with hundreds of unicyclists from around the world, alongside thousands of Wellingtonians, in the worlds Southermost Capital City. It will be something to remember for the rest of your life.
Breaking News!
We're not just going to the party, we're part of it! Unicon XV have been included in the Wellington City New Years Eve celebration. Be part of the final countdown to 2010, with live bands, street entertainment, and of course, our very own unicycle performances. If you or your team would like to be part of the New Years Eve entertainment, please get in touch with us on unicon15@gmail.com
Show the people of New Zealand what Unicycling is all about!
UNICON 14 wristbands
Many of you have religiously kept these from Denmark. As part of the workshops programme, there will be a special taking off ceremony and ritual burning of wristbands. If you still have yours on, look after it until UNICON XV.
Unicon Workshops
UNICON is more than a World Championships for Unicycling. It is the World CONvention. The convention consists of meeting unicyclists from around the world, informal rides, day trips and workshops. A workshop can consist of almost anything....it doesn't necessarily have to be unicycling related. For instance, previous Unicons have held workshops ranging from 'Disc Golf', to Wheelbuilding, to 'Unitouring photos', to an 'Old Geezers Meeting'. I think you have to be over a certain age to find out what that's about! If you would like to host a workshop, think about what you need (eg room size, projectors, and other props) and the most suitable date(s) for your workshop. It will be announced on the Unicon website later this week.
Public Workshops
As part of the Wellington 'Summer City' entertainment programme and sponsorship from the Wellington City Council, we have agreed to give free public workshops teaching people how to ride a unicycle. It will be heavily promoted in the lead-up to Unicon as part of the publicity around our event. Help us grow the sport of Unicycling by teaching the locals how to ride on one wheel.
Look forward to seeing many of you in New Zealand later this year!
Best Regards,
Ken Looi
