Its the Strawberry fair thread

It's the UKs biggest free one day festival and it's coming to a town near you

(Ok.. I lied... It's in Cambridge really)

Go on, it's free... you know you really want to!



Here's some BBC pics showing highlights of strawberries past:

Be warned: If you don't attend, I shall pluck out your eyebrows and pinch your nose

I'll be around there somewhere - it's kingston green fair the monday before, too.

Looks cool, I think I'll pop along!

Wicked!

And Matthew, good mention there about Kingston Green Fair. I'll be at that also - another worthy (yet another bargain day out on the festival calender).

Kingston in full swing:


I hope many of you can make these great daze out, it'll give you hoppers something fun to spin to

god, i havent been there for years...ill try and gather some troops...its a good day out for sure!

I'm definitely going!! Been planning to go since last year!! We camped from the Friday till the Sunday...and there was much fun had by all.

I'll be the one selling poi and earrings! Can't wait

Oh yea one thing I would say though is not to buy ANY food till the end of the day when it's loads and loads cheaper!

Hey, actually last year there were some people doing fire poi and I hadn't ever seen it much before then, anyone know who it was? We wanted to light our...ahem...long cigarette...ahem...off the fire poi...

The people who were doing firepoi were Woody (wood2) and Lu, (neither of whom are HoPpers (any more, at least)), but they were stopped by the wardens. I was playing with aerotechs around that area too...

I should say "at least" on the end of that first sentence.

Hell yeah! I'll definitely be there, seeing as I live in Cambridge!

So it was YOU! Well, I'll be juggling this year too... so the wardens had a big problem with people spinning but not with the fact that part of the field was invaded by campers... hmmm

Will you be bringing your aerotechs this year??

????

Wee...look, someone just bumped this FREE FESTIVAL thread

Now who would do a thing like that?

Seriously though, would love to meet any of you peeps at either of these

There seems to be a few of you interested already.

Any more?

I know it's unethical to reply to yourself in a thread but at least it brings it to the top of the pile again

*bump*
just thought I should Poi-nt out that the festival is on RIGHT NOW!
Hope to see some poiple there,
hugs

Well, I was there. I did lots of devilstick (mostly with my blue/white AJA glitter stick and fluorescent yellow handsticks). Did I play with anyone from HoP without realising it?

I never made it to this... altho a friend of mine last night commented on the spinners were there... i guessed it was HOPers!

last year was the first time i'd picked up a pair of poi, and this year is gonna be AMAZING!, cos 1) i'm better at poi, 2) i know you lot, and 3) i thought this needed a bump cos its just the best place on the planet.

also whoever said its been going more than 30 years was almost right, its the oldest fair in europe, around 800 years

*runs in for a stage dive* woooooooooooooooooooooo

*lands flat on face wondering where every one is*


i went last year, my first ever!!!

i had no idea what to expect (except i knew there would be no dance tent)

i had the best time ever there, soooooooooooo many stalls selling poi, staffs etc. there where even drum circles, brilliant surroundings

i would recomend it to any one.

Vampyricacid hope to see you and you sibling there next year

right I'm talking to the people in charge of it about getting a poi workshop going for an hour or something. No chance of fire poi on the common. Might be able to set up on Jesus Green like bonfire nite tho.

And best of all: a big party afterwards!

anyways sorry to be boring, but I reckon we should save the hype until a bit closer to the time. Can always discuss it in the cambridge thread....
