Spinning Weekends/Festivals Directory

*edit*

So to take this to another level ive created a facebook app that allows events to be added by country and state for every country in the world, anyone can add events in which then get reviewed to prevent spam

http://apps.facebook.com/globalfireguide/


*edit*

With the growing global fire community and increased number of spinning specific events I thought it would be useful for travellers and new spinners to have all of the annual spinning events listed in one spot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

*edit* if your event page has a message board which has suddenly started getting spammed pm me and ill remove the link

and for that matter, tagged so it always stays at the top of the events page?

also, the EJC or any JC in britain will also have many spinners at it, thou it's not a 'fire' or 'spinning' dedicated event. As will Glastonbury.

Thanks a lot for putting this together

you forgot to include the party in my pants

another one Bender, do the inside of your pants ever stop!

and just outta interest how many people can your pants hold?

Nice work Ben-ja-men!
