Hi Dan,
I placed an order several weeks back for just over $300 of equipment. The order was ready in a few days and I picked it up myself on the way home. The next day I was off to Ottawa with the grade 8 class, so it wasn’t until the next week that I distributed the equipment to the students. It was like Christmas morning that day for the Circus Club members. Since then, we have done two small shows, one for the school body and one for parents. Most students elected to use their own new equipment rather than the schools. Everyone seems satisfied with their purchase. Particularly with diabolo, as students now had their own at home, they regularly came to school with a new skill they had learned from a website that they wanted to teach me.
I had rounded the prices up for the students and with the extra was able to add to the order another two sets of clubs and get our first set of poi, which has been quite popular.
I did find the order did have two extra balls and an extra spinning plate in it – I assume to give choice to the students who did not get the colour they ordered. They did find a suitable replacements. If that was simply a packing mistake, I’m happy to settle the difference on our fall order or to drop by on my way home some time this week.
I look forward to placing an order in the future when we restart the club in the fall. If you ever decide to sell rola bolo’s, I’m quite sure you would get some orders from our school. I have 3 homemade versions I’ve made from plywood, skateboard tape, truck cap foam, and a discarded sewer pipe, and they usually have a line of students waiting for a turn.
Our kids are extremely pleased with the product and I was very pleased with service.
Thanks,
