Hello!
well i shall start at the beginning, I got my first poi about a year ago, having never been one to exercise the mantra - practise makes perfect, i didn't... for the best part of that year. However then it got sunny again and I got the degree work out of the way, so the poi have returned into my life.
Then... About three weeks ago I met Mags & Brad in sunny sunny Falmouth (it's Rhiannon if you remember..) and the glaring inadequacies in my own poi spinning were highlighted....
Hence a new found determination to practise. - I was also lurking at Maenporth and took shiteloads of photos which I will duly post somewhere for those interested when I figure this forum out...
Alas I am no longer in Falmouth having just graduated, and am currently sponging off my parents for a couple of months in Cardiff (any other poi spinners here?!?!)
So that's the story of my journey to the forum, pleasure to find you all, I promise not to post too much random shite (which I can be prone to doing...)

hmmmm.... yes, that sounds like a good idea and i want you all pink, silver and purple with little flowers and pretty squiggles!
i don't really care about the tiddlywinks though, you can play that all you want so long as you do it standing on your heads and dressed in rabbit costumes...
actually perhaps i could be presented with photographic evidence of that on a silver platter too please... i'll eat it with my sandwich
