Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too.
Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

Cool, We'll make sure it's as cheap and cheerful as possible. Will probably go for a spin if the weather allows (which means we probably won't), then go out, then a party around our house maybe?
I still need to organise the Brighton spin. It was going to be this weekend but it's still too cold, was maybe thinking some time near the end of May.
