Greater Sydney Area Firearts & Juggling - The unOfficial List

we'll be up in sydney for an unspecified period of time early in the NY I think. Would be lovely to catch up with you lot for a spin.

Josh

Cool!
well if people show up tonight, and want it again, was thinking of doing this once a month first tuesday of the month ...

Man my nights get crazy busy sometimes!

I had last night of it was good to see the few that showed up .

hey, im meant to be coming up from melbourne to visit u guys in a month or 2, and was just wondering, which group of yall has the biggest turnout of fire poi-ers

heya!

hard to pick....
sydney firespinners in general are lazy & spontaneous... glebe on thursday nights is your best bet - although if your a juggling fan id recomment getting to newtown juggling on wednesday or sydney juggling on sunday.

the sydney fire community comes out more at summer approaches, so ask me a week before you pop up and ill let you know.
cheers.

Hi I'll be heading back to oz soon and was just checking to see if there were some regular group spins happening, I look forward to meeting you sydney twirliers, rock on babies xx

hey guys,
ive been thinking and as i am guilty of being on who has posted posts asking about the sydney juggling and fire crews i was wondering if any of the people have thought about setting up a website database, like this one only smaller for the sydney area organisations that are listed on this post. it could be linked to the HoP site and then it would make it possible to arrange for bigger meets once every few months or something for a big burn or performance....

The more the merrier and the easier it is to see wat is going on the more likely my master plan of some very fun twirling nights could be accomplished!

just a thought!

Altera

if you can be bothered doing it, by all means.
good luck

i must warn you that sydney spinners are notoriously lazy creatures, and starting any sort of new meet is pretty hard.

Does anyone drive in from the west? I'm in Parramatta and would gladly throw a few bucks in the general direction of anyone going into town from here, so far public transport has a 100% rate of getting me in late or delivering me to places I never want to see ever again.

I might brave the train next sunday though. I figure an express between Parra and Central can't go *that* tits up.

hmmm... not too sure. i living up northwise myself, and takes about an hour to get to any of the events - but im silly so i still go!
i dont know anyone off hand though.

thinking about it, i know one guy who comes to glebe on thursdays but lives in penrith! but he's at sydney uni at camperdown so he's used to the epic train ride.

anyone know of gatherings and or people in central coast or newcastle????? not that you sydney people arent worth travelling all that way, but.... you know....

I can try and find out for you! Will get back to you in a few days.

if you look at the first post in this thread theres info on the newcastle meet. its pretty quite at the moment, but there usually a few down there. hopefully the warmer weather will attract more spinners.

you're such a good boy, dentrassi!

oh thanks dentrassi!! i shoulda looked harder the first time.
but yah! thanks for your help
i shall try and check it out!

Heres yer biskit

So we up for another twirl in sydney park November 2nd?? Melbourne cup day!

ummm not sure. lifes pretty busy but ill see what happens.

hey, just wondering if the spinning still goes on in glebe on thursdays? i'm fairly new to spinning, will i be out of place? ive never been to any of these meets but i'd really love to get involved and learn from you guys. and thanks dentgrassi for this post, its rocks!!!!!
ash

dentgrassi???? thats way to close to the word 'degrassi' for my liking! anyway, the glebe meet is probably the best chance - attendance has been a bit down to bad weather for the last couple of months, but it should pick up again now.

will update the main post now though....

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss to the glebe, will be there tonite, cant wait for mainland fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahhahahahaha! let it burn!!!!!!!!!!(k, now i'm scaring myself)(k, i'll shut up now.....)

the glebe lives! cheerz 2 the circusoc troop who actually turned up and let me use their toys, next week!

Will you be spinning at the bicentennial park this Thursday.

I'm only asking as it is very close to New year, so I wasn't sure if it is going on.

If it is and I can get over from Manly, I would love to go.

YAY! STONE CIRCLE TOMORROW NIGHT!

ive listed details previously at the start, but i cant be bothered checking if they are the same, so heres a copy of the email i just recieved.
__________________________
The next Stone Circle night is on this Friday and this may be the last one before Saul is off overseas for a while, so we would really like to make this a big one! Especially since we missed the full moon in January, due to other happenings..

So hope to see you Friday!


----------
For anyone's that never been to one of these nights, we've been holding these drumming jams for about 5 years now, in the summer months, on fridays nearest to a full moon.
The jams are held on McKenzies point, in Mark's Park, in South Bondi. Its a beautiful spot, on a cliff overlooking the ocean, with Bondi beach to the left and Tamarama to the right.

All instruments are welcome, and bring your fire toys!
Everyone is welcome, whether you want to drum or just come for the party!

WHEN: Friday 29th of October, starting at about 10:00pm.

WHAT TO BRING:
drums/percussion, firesticks/pois, warm clothes (it can get pretty windy up there), beer etc, candles/lanterns (if you've got some handy) and friends.

HOW TO GET THERE:
The Stone Circle is on the cliff point just south of Bondi Beach (between Bondi Beach and Tamarama Beach). If standing on Bondi beach looking south towards Bronte you will see a cliff - the circle is on the edge of it, protruding over the ocean. You will see a big park up there (Marks Park) - its where you see people flying kites during the day.

To get there by public transport the 380 bus from Bondi Junction is the easiest way - get off on Fletcher St (one stop after the stop on Denham St, when bus turns off Bondi Rd) and walk to the end of Fletcher street (in the same direction as the bus was going) until you reach the park and walk across the park towards the ocean - you'll see the circle when you reach the other side of the park.

If walking from Bondi Beach, walk south up Campbell Parade and then turn left into Sandridge Rd and then take the first left into Fletcher St and you'll get to the park. If you're feeling adventurous take the walkway that goes along the cliffs from Bondi Beach, that starts behind Bondi Icebergs. if you dont know where that is, probably best to follow the road...

anyway, map is attached - it is at Mackenzies Point in Marks Park.

for any other info call me on 0419 441 633 or Saul on 0425 283 382

feel free to forward this email on to anyone that may be interested. You can also send me email addresses of people who would like to be on the list.

see you there!
Boris and Saul

PS if the weather is not looking too good call us on the numbers above to see if it is still on. If it is very windy, we will be under the rock overhang about 30m south of the stone circle or down the steps to the north of the circle, depending on wind direction etc.

Ben-ja-men lead me to this thread in response to me asking about Sydney stuff.. There seems to be a fair bit on, so why did I read in other threads the phrase 'sydney scene is a joke....' Is is cos it's such a big city it's just hard to get around to connect with people? OR things come and go fast??
