So i have managed to persuade some of the Cornish spinners to come to Clapham on 5th September.
So to make it worth their while, i propose a full day spin! (well from about midday)?

Cheers for your hospitality guys, am now shattered after leaving Mike's at 5:00am, got into Brizzol at 8:30 and worked with the kiddies until 3:00...
Cheers Pink for the Saturday night floorspace and Mike for the Sunday sofa bed - sorry for not putting it away, just didn't have my wits about me at 4:30am!!!
I'd like to type about how nice it was to meet you all but I have not got the mental capacity to be poetic and recall each individual - except for Alice, Beth, Mags and Bird all of whom lost to me at Monopoly - only time I'm good with money.
Until next time...

Hello all!
It was my first time meeting the London spinners and I enjoyed it a lot.
I wasn't as social as usual, depending on the language it took me a while, so I couln't really figure out who is who at HoP.
I think Gelfing was the one who helped me a bit with my juggling skills and brought me a beer.
Oli showed me the waistwrap, I still hit myself
.I enjoyed meeting Pink and Beth.Thanks a lot guys.
There was a guy who gave me and Vanize his monkey fists to spin fire. I couldn't really figure out who he was but thanks a lot to you too.
A special thanks goes to Ben I really liked the talks with you and Vanize and I wish you good luck on all your ways.
I hope I can see you all soon again.

was very cool chatting so many new ideas n concepts to pursue so little time
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

ok, finally got time to post here.
It was nice hanign with you all on sunday!
special super duper thanks to Ben - you are awesome dude! thanks for the place to crash.
sorry I didn't get to chat longer with whoever loaned me the use of their monkey fist fire poi. I meant to say goodbye and thanks again, but 3 lovely but very hungry women rushed me off to have dinner, and who was I to impede their way?
UCOF and Pink..? - sorry we didn't find more time to catch up.
Dom - that girlfriend of yours is sweetness incarnate.
Ok, hope to see you all again before the year is over.
love, -v-

Yeah, there were soooo many people there and I had absolutely no idea who most of you were! I spose it was my own silly fault for not being pro-active enough in saying hello to people, I was ok while people were arriving 1 or 2 at a time, then suddenly about 20 people appeared from nowhere and I got kinda overwhelmed by it all.
But thankyou to everyone who made us Cornish feel so welcome and an even bigger thankyou to Pink (and her mum) for puting up with us being littered around the house for the weekend!
Next time........ I'll say hello to more people, I'll spin more in the evening ( I failed due to feeling rubbish after not eating properly for 2 days) and I'll beat Gelfling at Monopoly
!!!I hope everyone had as good a weekend as I did and I'll see you all soon!
btw vanize, those were Mags' monkey fists, I think!

Hey Folks,
There were some people down at the clapham poi session who had digital cameras. It would be really nice to see any piccies that get put online, so maybe people could post a link in this thread once they have got them online
Thanks,

Ok, cool. Actually that is what I thought, but then he posted something earlier in this thread (but after the event) that made me think he must have left by then and that I had people all mixed up in my head.

I'm probably not going to be able to afford to get there (still working on it though - never say die!!). Are your rates of rent as extortionate in real life as they are in monopoly??

Nah - Monopoly is for London, Backgammon is the game of choice these parts. Rent = lunch.

Lets up the stakes then if you're that confident - tea and a couple of bicciis, or a biccii for each failed attempt to get your men off the bar - serious backgammon now!!!
