Hello Poisters,

Peachi here again finally. Been uber-busy writing up my project and arsing about in Bristol Juggling Convention (god that was good) so havn't checked in in a while.

Glad there is a good buzz going on about the Tribe of Fun-dango on sunday (see http://www.nottsjuggling.co.uk/fundango/ )

Thanks to Bluecat (Rob-cheese) for organising such amasing workshops and the Fields of Fire Notts Possee (our fields of fire mind) for organising the beginners and intermadiates).

We got some great videos to show in the evening (juggling, direct action, green awareness stuff) and DJ T0m is going to drop some phat breaks tunes.... possibly some psy trance if you ask nicely.

We got room at ours for people to stay but already half full.

You dont have to book ahead just pay as close to £5 on the door as you can afford.

Can't wait. See ya all Saturday / Sunday,
Cheese, Peachi - Minister of Fun

Drews Workshop Details:
I ran both of these at Uberpoi, so if you want details, ask a friend who was there

Introduction to Musicality
Aimed at poi or staff, but can be with any Prop
For any level, especially beginners and super geeky tech heads who like to stand on one spot and so difficult tricks.
1.5 - 2 hours
Covers:
How to add a connection to music to your spinning
and how to understand music aimed at non musicians. In a way that will totally help your spinning.
You need this workshop


Poi/Staff/Manipulation Battle Workshop:
we had 50 poiple doing this at ueberpoi, and it was A LOT of fun (look at the pictures of uberpoi!!)
Everybody from beginners up to the teachers. You don't need talent, complete beginners are brilliant, you need that ability to be silly.
A bit like a friendly team breakdance battle/jam, with extra silly fun.
friendly ok: http://community.webshots.com/photo/401080213/401096775fEeLzl
This is to help us Brits get over that feeling that a lot of us have... That are a bit tooo shy about SHOWING our stuff. This is about learning performance skills and getting over that feeling of being nervous.
(The workshop has no spectators.)

Thats all....See ya sunday :hugs:
Drew

where is the list of wqorkshops?

RIGHT THEN

there are a few logistical issues that need to be adressed.
1 crash space....not a problem really, as the whole FieldsofFire massive (well medium really) will be there and are all friendly we can organise muchos crash space
2 peeps turning up to join our thursday meet, have an impomptu friday and or saturday meet should be aware that goose fair is on NOW and will be in full swing over those days.
this means a new place will have to be found in order to spin fire or anything at all as the entire fields where we meet will be full of under-age drinkers, chavs, people wanting to have a go with fire who may not be told NO.
oh and an ENOURMOUS fun fair
soooooooooooooooooooo
thinking needs doing.
as it is i will be turning up and well G is the driving force behind things at the moment so if you need info contact him.

I believe we arranged something like the Graveyard....I don't reckon everyone is gonna be able to find it.

However, I've got a large grass and concrete area outside my house which we can fill with a load of peeps. Plus my house would be available for music and toliets and general seatage!

But ultimately I think G has been left in control ( Yay for G )

p.s G how did it go the other night? Did you make it?

Hey Mech, look on page 4 for more info on workshops scheduled over Sunday.

Smit, we had been thinking about a repeat of last week (which was sweet) but like you say 'tis a bit dodgy especially seeing as how there will be an infinately larger police presence on Thursday.

Chumpy, what is this area of which you speak? Are we talking back garden type stuff or is there somewhere else and is it secluded/out of sight ish.

Dub, kick off will all depend on whenever we can be arsed to actually get out of the house on Saturday after Friday night excursions (whatever they might be). Fire has been kicking off at around 8-8.30ish (no change there then) of late but having not decided where we're going to hold it this is subject to change.

Putting me in charge eh.....hmm could be dangerous!

G you never answered my question! I haven't booked a ticket yet incase you tell me the time is no good.

meg/rob/drew/cole - i hope there's not gonna be too many clashes with workshops cos i wanna come to all of them...

I'm awfully sorry Auntie Lynne
Your space is still reserved in fact you were the first one to book at Chez Chez (I will explain later for those who haven't already realised) Pink will be turning up at 18:05 so 18:04 will be fine although we may have to meet Pink after I've grabbed you but that all depends on which service is more reliable on Friday

Either way I will be collecting you both straight after work so you're not allowed to laugh at my office wear
The tram will glide* us back to my house (well almost) so don't worry, you won't have to do much walking. May be helpful if you can have some change on you though. A single will cost £1.20 or an all day ticket (useful if we decide to come back in later for stuff) will cost £2.20.
I should be able to let you know which will be most relative at the time.
