If you are already here then you know what spinny fun can be had (even if it is slacky at the moment) and if your in the area or fancy coming to one of the meets then this is the thread for you. We are a friendly bunch of 'spinners' who love to meet up for spinny goodness
If your just passing through our little town and fancy meeting up just PM me and i will see what we can do.
this is where we spin
GATHERINGS
Next one is 13th-14th september
........
Main Meets are the second weekend of every month (usualy)
ROLL ON THE SUN!! . Well there is nothing i can do about the cold or the wet or the wind so its meets at mine
which is rather fun and we have a nice piece of park land less than 5 minutes from my house,(we can go to riv too as that is the main park in town and only 20 minutes from my house)the park near my house it also rather good for a bit of power kiting if the wind is good enough and not too gusty.This is very handy if it is a bit of a dodge weather day as if the sun comes out its easy to quickley pop out.As for near by shops,i live just up the road from our local green which does have shops a bargain booze, takeaways etc.
HOPpers in town

PK
Pilchard (not on Hop but went to play)
Lucy.. at UNI.. we miss her
Nichola..
Gooooooooodie ? on spelling that right "
the plan usualy goes like this...
First day around 12pm till when ever you have to go firey fun around 8-9 - Sunday meet at mine 1pm (unless you have stopped over) same as above but with firey fun around 9
If i have enough wood then there is a fire out the back so we can sit around and keep warm.My house is a non smoking house because of the kids although that is another reason why we sit outside as i do not mind smoking in the garden. Also feel free to bring food and drink too, you are more than welcome to use my cooker and the general rule is.. use it clean it
Both the park and my house are not far from the train or bus staion
PM me if you need any more information or if you wish to be added to the HOPpers in town list

Cheers for organising, twas fun
The weather looked a bit dodgey at times, but the bandstand did its job admirably.
Cheaper than going to clapham on a weekend from the midlands, we should do it again some time, and the slackers should come too

well a few things
1 my phone is about ready to be put on incoming things only, so if i don't text back you know its not cause i am dead, or pissed off with you.
2 what is left of my phone is annoying as i have lost the use of my number 2 key which also means letters a b and c
so if i do text you and it makes no sense i'm sorry but i am doing the best i can.
3 the meet went great

yea. The bus stop is right by the park too, but because it doesn't have any numbers on the sign (that'd just be too useful) I ended up walking into town again, missing one and waiting 20 minutes for the next. Ho humm, such is the fun of public transport

I'm free this weekend, though i do need to geek out for at least part of it as I have cunning plans for one of my linux boxes
The benefit of Dunc picking up things from ours first is we can scab a lift

CHAV'S?! Attack you when you have fire
I think you need to start looking a bit meaner when you spin
Sounds thrilling! Are you turning it into something spinnable?!
I'm happy to come pick you guys up from Cov and then drive up to Brum but you'll have to make your own way back. That sound ok?
Frwoggy honey, you can play with me anytime! So when shall we have this meeting of the masses? I'm thinking Saturday 6th if you're all free? Shall we see if any Nottingham lot want to come down too?
