Hey Guys!

Doesn't look like a whole boatload of us are here, but I am too.

I've begun my play with fire a short while ago, and look to meet other fire players. I do fire eating, spinning, fire flogging, and a few other things, and am anxious to expand my repetoire and knowledge.

Sounds as if I missed a good number of events this summer, but shall be watching atomic's site for future events, and hope to see all of you out there too!

Cheers,


minou

Sup guys. I'm from Winnipeg. I'm pretty new to poi, started teaching myself in december. Now that it's nice out I'm hoping to do alot more spinning taking advantage of being outside with alot more space (learning in the family room sucks). Anyways I was wondering if you guys meet more frequently during the spring/summer and if so where do you guys usually meet? I'm hoping to meet some local spinners and see what I can learn.

GRIMZ: welcome to the WInnipeg tribe. Sorry for the delay in response.
Yes a huge group of us meet at Vimy Ridge Park on Tuesdays starting at approx 7:30pm

Sometimes sunday we'll post a last minute meet up

MAY 26 Prop Shops is back teaching Stick Juggling (devil sticks), Unicycling and hulahoop.
The first hour is structured teaching and the second hour is free play (which also means any toys you have ... come play)
All the money goes back to the teachers and rental of space.
May 26
12-2pm
Robert A Steen CC - 980 Palmerston Ave
Only $5

Hope you can make it out to either one
