Free Juggling Classes Bring Fun, Focus and Wellbeing to Daylesford This November
Free Juggling Classes are coming to the Daylesford Neighbourhood Centre every Thursday in November from 4pm to 5pm, offering a fun and accessible way to boost coordination, mindfulness and community connection.
Led by local facilitator Sebastian Lenehan, these easy-going sessions are open to all ages and abilities. Participants will enjoy group activities, hands-on guidance and time to practice at their own pace. All juggling equipment is provided — just bring your curiosity and a playful attitude!
Beyond the fun, juggling offers a range of therapeutic benefits. The rhythmic, focused movements help improve concentration, relieve stress and promote mindfulness. Juggling can also enhance hand-eye coordination, balance and neuroplasticity, making it a great brain and body workout in one.
These free classes are a perfect opportunity to unwind, meet new people and rediscover the simple joy of play.

DNC Joke of the Week
A local bar was so sure that its barman was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet. The barman would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass and hand the lemon to a patron. Anyone who could squeeze one more drop of juice out would win the money.
Many people had tried over time (weightlifters, etc.) but nobody could do it.
One day a scrawny little man came in, wearing thick glasses and a cheap suit, and said in a tiny, squeaky voice, “I’d like to try the bet.”
After the laughter had died down, the bartender said okay, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed away.
Then he handed the wrinkled remains of the rind to the little man.
But the crowd’s laughter turned to total silence as the man clenched his fist around the lemon and six drops fell into the glass.
As the crowd cheered, the barman paid the $1,000 and asked the little man, “What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack, a weightlifter, or what?”
The man replied, “I work for the Taxation Department.”
