Aloha!

A thought just occured to me That nobody...or at least i cant find a reference to any sort of PIP going on in Derby...???
We have a real nice park....(minus the doggy poop)and its got a band stand thingy....the park's called Marketon and it's real close to the centre......so good for boozin after...or somert!
I'd really like to set about organisin' this sort of thing and well....does anyone know if i have to contact the grounds keeper to check about fire usage?.......or do we rebel???...or that might be silly.......i just don't know???!!!????
Anyway...would anyone actually be interested??? I go out in Derby most w/e's and have never (yet) met anyone else who spins!!!....i know ya out there.....come on........get in touch.....
Love+Light...........

...........The most inspiring thing that anyone has ever said to me was........Life is nothing without dreams..... or was it life's too short to eat pistachio's????

my sister spins, and she goes to uni in Derby. she was spinning in the park recently and a guy walked past who does staffs.
So there are some there, just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

there are normally some more of the hardcore derby jugglers can be found at darley park on a sunday afternoon.


also Tomfoolery juggling society can be found:
7pm - 9.30pm Every Thursday
Queens methodist mission hall
London road
Derby
during term times! at the moment they meet in darley park until the end of summer.

i dont know much about the poi scene in derby, and as far as i know there are not many people there, not of the hardcore variety anyway.
as nancy said in her above post we are on the move again back to sheffield, what she didnt mention was that we will be living in derby for the next month! so if you are up for meeting for a twirl then give us a call on : 07798 828323 i'm pretty sure that nancy is up for it too.
if your up for learning new stuff, i'm most certainly up for a spot of teaching, and just for a good old session.

i am deffinatly up for a session with the jugglers too.

drop me a call if your up for it or any thing i can help you out with.
any poiinthepark stuff can be found on my website too.

be kewl....

Mr Fibble.....first of all.....who said anything about being good. ........???

I may have had a set of poi for 3 (ish) years but...hey we're all still learning....!....and that's cool bout your sis.......shall try and sort something out!!!...if not PIP, then just a few like minded peeps on a bit of grass somewhere...(that's the standing on it to spin...not the smoking...well unless....each to your own!!)Anyway.....

i hit myself so many times and cant master many of the moves!!!!!......so the fact you state...'You're not very good...' won't matter at all!!!!.......

And in response to you.....Nancy and Trait of One Eleven Two....or is it PK?........ I think meetin up would be koolio!!!!.........
I could do with learning a few new moves and well, if you juggle too then you can help me with clubs too!!!!........
So expect a call after this weekend and until then good luck with moving!!!.........

Oh yeah one more thing....this jugglin' club....well if i aint very good....well...i mean is it like a teachin thing or do i have to be good to start with???.......
Cheers 4 al ur 'elp so far........
Love+Light.............>x<

GGGGGggggrrr......i can't do that yet....man oh man oh man.......
how difficult is BTB stuff...... wish i was a teacher or parent cus then i'd have eyes in the back of my head and alleviate the problem!!.....in fact, it would be better if i had 2 sets of arms......then i wouldn't even struggle.......hhhhhmmmmmmnnnnnn........knowing me i probably would though...i'd get all tangled up and punch myself or something!!!....
You're right though...by the time i get this PIP sorted i might be closer to it!!!!........

***************** :rollsmil*******************
Do you know i've been on the net for 7hrs30mins!!!!!!..... my work is so flat today, all i've done is post messages!!!!!....oh well...it's my last day here 2moro...better make use of free internet whilst i av it!!!!!!

One day we may all meet u...what fun!!!!!
Sorry, just quite happy to find out that there are so many of us around and about this area..........

Well just got back from shopping in Derby...in the glorious Rain!...and couldn't help but notice the posters everywhere advertising the
'Eco Gathering' at Marketon Park on 21/22 September......

From what i can make out it's a couple of days of craft type family type greenpeace type party in park type jobby??!!??..... So i wuz thinkin that as this w/e is a little short notice then maybe then would be a real nice time to meet?????

Well if anyone knows anything more bout the 'eco' thing, let us know, and i will do the same......

Lots of LOVE love LOVE xx

Hi All!!!

Only been spinning for 3 months but since I'm in Nottingham (SOOOO CLOSE...... ) I'd be up for a spin, meet & greet anywhere in that area (Derby, Stoke, Sheffield, Leicester etc) if one gets organised...

*hugs to all*

No i didnt know bout the jugglin convention but sounds like a treat so i'll be well up for that and it will be nice to see some of yous down here too!

Erm .... the eco gathering is on the sat/sun so that must be (according to Mr flibble the 20/21...not the 21/22)..... so i dont know whether meeting on the sat or sun would be better...depends on general consensus.....do more people have it large friday nite or sat....cus well, spose were more likely to have a nice turn out if people aint hungova!!!!.......

so yeah....what d'yall fink?????

Love me x
