Still haven't got a fixed venue yet I don't think..got some possibilities but nothing concrete. Such crappy weather today, with the rain and humidity too. Have fun tomorrow you guys who are meeting at Aston. I'm being my parents' tour guide for the day 
Will definitely be wherever on Sunday as long as I get directions that are easy to follow 
Good to see that more and more people are appearing in Brum

easiest is train destination Redditch - platform 11b every 15 minutes or so, it's the third stop out then the top of the road (Selly Oak Station)
talk to people who are going to be about for timing. Like Rob.

hah, i would've, but they were offering to pay for lunch and as a student i couldn't really resist...i even left my stomach empty since yesterday lunchtime so i could cram today
also got a new digital camera now, so next time someone's making a burn, i'll play around with it so i can get some decent trails.

So, Sunday then? Selly Park at about 6pm say?
I'm probably not going to be there, but Selly Park at 6 will give those who are going to be there something to work with

Selly Park at 6pm is fine by me. *Sits around whilst the people who can't make it to the spin actually organise it*
I like this system thank you.

One or two things to note.
-Please be aware of safety whilst spinning fire.
-I urge everyone to invest in a fire blanket, or at least to bring a damp towel to smother errant flames.
-Do not spin fire unless you have asked another person to watch you specifically for your entire burn, as quite often you'll not notice that you're on fire until it's too late.
-Try not to wear synthetic clothes. They'll melt onto you and keep burning at the slightest oppertunity. It sucks, but it's worth the extra effort NOT to be in a shell suit
-Check all your equipment before you spin. If you are worried that any wicks or joins may be loose - don't use it.
-Keep the fuel away from the people, and away from open flames.
-Do not use anyone elses equipments without asking. Have a play first to adjust to the new toy before lighting it too, as it may respond very differently to what you are used to.
-If you haven't spun fire before, get a more experienced spinner to give you some advice and look out for you in case anything goes wrong or you panic.
-If you have spun fire before, you'll know not to try dangerous/difficult tricks that you are not totally comfortable with as this is when mistakes happen that you'll regret.
This list only just scratches the surface, but should stop a lot of the stupid accidents that happen whilst spinning fire in big groups when people don't pay enough attention. For more info on Fire Safety please look here: http://www.homeofpoi.com/articles/FireSafety.php
Have fun guys

Me and another will be there for sure...is there anywhere specificaly in the park you'll be or shall it be easy to find people spinning brightly coloured objects around?
Miranda, I remember you from Play. I'm 95% sure your that Miranda from the Cornwall, speech/typing and mention of short shorts in your introduction thread. If not correct me so I look silly.

Hmm. Possible difficulties. Have to go to a meal for stepdads birthday at 4 and my motorbike is kinda broken. Unless I can fix it in less than an hour I'll have to miss this one. Although if I can fix it i'll only be able to bring my diabolo as I haven't figured a way to carry a 5ft staff on a motorbike yet...
--------------------
Could somebody stop the room please... I'd like to get off
