Whipconvention Organisers
Please remember that the Convention is a family-friendly event.
Please click the 'Whip Safety' link at the top of the page and familiarise yourself with our Safety guidelines.
Please Note that reasonable precautions will be taken as regards to safety but, as with any sport, it is impossible to
remove all risk. The organisers cannot be responsible for any injury that may occur during the convention. All attendees
will be expected to accept responsibility for their own safety and for the safety of others around them.

We have arranged free overnight parking for campers and tents at a nearby site, so if you are travelling a distance and wish to stay over then please contact the
organisers. This facility is limited so please contact us prior to the event.
Is your hero Indiana Jones, Cat Woman or Lash Larue? If you are interested in whips then this is the event for you.
If you are a novice who has never cracked a whip before come and join us. Have fun practicing an exciting new activity that's challenging, healthy and
relatively cheap to get started in. The sport is accessible to almost anyone regardless of gender, age or physical ability. We have whips for you to borrow,
if you don't have your own; and you will go away from the day knowing enough to progress further on you own. After that, you don't need huge amounts
of expensive coaching or equipment - just a whip, enough space to throw it, and some common sense about safety.
If you are an experienced whipcracker, come and test your skills in the competitions, learn new cracks or share your knowledge with fellow whip
enthusiasts.
Please Note that reasonable precautions will be taken as regards to safety but, as with any sport, it is impossible to remove all risk. The organisers cannot be

Please remember that the Convention is a family-friendly event.
The organisers reserve the right to suspend any participant from the convention, if that participant places themselves or others at risk; or behaves in an
inappropriate manner.
