Sweet. Is this a fire friendly venue or a non fire toy venue?

Good question.
No fire inside
But it's got a nice area outside for fire play. Burner of Toast

i'll come along sometime over easter... have you got some sound support on the go? or do will the spinning take place during band practices?

Heh heh - There won't be a band in the room with us. But we do have a stage with funky lights and a hayooooooge sound system (apparently). UV cannon in the post as I speak it'll all look very pretty too

Excellent - the more the merrier
Hopefully, we'll get a good first gathering and drag all the Guildfordians out who tend to lurk about. In the summer we get about 30-40 people, don't know where they go in the winter *mumbles about part-timers and fairweather spinners*

I guess I should give them a mention as they're letting us spin there
Well, not "lettting us" - letting us pay to spin there.
Still, they were very enthusiastic

Right - here's a little map of the area as I know it's not the easiest place to find.
And yes, I know the picture's awful.

The funniest thing is I looked at that map and went "aha!" so it is more than clear enough for its purpose

Right, well I'm still a bit nervous but if everyone who has said they are coming, comes - we'll be fine. Spoke to Leonard last night, he's going to try and make it.
Also, saw Steve on Saturday and he said he'll come along, rang Jon too... plus had looooooads of e-mails (well, about 6) interestingly all from girls
and they're hopefully coming with friends too.Lex is flyering today around G'ford too

Mmmmmm, fibre....
Er, still no Cannon, althought the post hasn't arrived yet
Erm, lots of people it looks like - we handed out some flyers last night, and (much to my annoyance and partial fear) SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless but suffice to say drinks parrafin...) printed posters and stuck them to phoneboxes, bus stops etc - with my name and number on them...

Woo Hoo!
That was fun - any else got a nice sun tan now?
Thanks for all who came along - sorry I didn't really get round to running workshops or anything...
A little on the small side, but nothing too bad - I was pondering about doing workshops on the stage (where you can see) and free-spinning on the floor. Anyway, will have to see next month.
Thank you

Due to a cancellation - We have the Studio again THIS THURSDAY - 11th March so it'd be great to have people there again this week!
Same time, price and details as first post!
