yay! looks good!

To celebrate the turning of the solar year and the start of the return to Summer and regular spinning meets, we will be holding a small Winter Solstice party on December 21st. The plan is also for anyone planning on going to Stonehenge for the open access at Sunrise to be able to gather and share lifts.

There'll be a mixture of trance and upbeat chillout music from DJs Dreadnaut, Christian Sky, Mif, John Miszt, Walter and Tom, and plenty of space for poi spinning, hoola-hooping and juggling plus drumming and dancing, capoeira and any other activity.

There will be a reasonably priced cafe and bar.

Doors will open around 7pm, and close around 5am in plenty of time to reach Stonehenge for opening time around 7am.

Entry by donation - suggested £3

every Friday thereafter we will be back to small meets from 7pm-11pm. If you'd like to get involved in any way, DJing, decorating, or running any kind of workshop then please email me or comment below

please pass it on and hopefully see you there

wicked
ill be there alex

woot for HoP connections!

are you carrying this on into 2008? me and a mate live in norwich but this looks brilliant to turn up to once in a while to meet some fellow spinners

hi Rin

yes I hope this to be a permanent workshop but I need people to turn up for me to continue running it!

Come on people - this Friday - large warm indoor space - cafe - soundsystem - DJs - use it or lose it!

Not gonna make it this week, but I'll bust a gut to get there on the 11th. What's it been like last few weeks, have any of the Guildford-type people got to this?

my ear's exploded and I have college placement for two weeks hopefully make it in a few weeks if it hasn;t been lost by then

"Guildford-type" people? You mean uber-cool, smart, sexy spinners?

No SamboFlux...? I'm sure he would have posted on here by now!

I might head down tonight: who's coming?

Yes, Mr Durbs I do.

we had about 10 people down last friday, but there's room for LOTS more - at least 50, maybe 100

heres a photo of the comfy lounge/cafe space (sorry about my crap phone camera)



P.S. anyone know how to resize images with UBB code?

I'm going to try to get down for next week (work permitting)

Fearpig: Got there before me! I'll probably head down next week. See you loverly people then!!!

See you tomorrow!

great meet last night! we're starting to get a feel for how good this meet could be.. there were lots of new faces, great spinning, and a giant glow-in-the-dark frisbee session at the end

thanks everyone who came, and yes we did have Guildford crew

next week we will be upstairs only, so no soundsystem (we'll have a little stereo though)

but we'll be back downstairs and full power again on Feb 1st

and we are also planning to do another allnighter on Feb 29th, so put that in your diary

Hehe, I know about the Guildfordian people, I was there, though not really saying hi to anyone

Next time I shall. Never ventured upstairs, was stood by the stack mostly :P Really awesome space you guys have got, next time I'll try to turn up before half eight :P

Do you need to be a really experienced spinner to come along?

I know a bit, but haven't spun for quite a while - something to do other than getting drunk in the nearest pub on a Friday night would be good though

You dont need to be able to do anything to go to these.
Walking would help in getting there of course, but you could always just get a taxi

But yes, it is much cheaper than getting drunk in a pub
