I was planning on stopping by the angel park jsut to see if you guys were there, and going to the east ox centre if not, but with the weather as it is I wasn't expecting to see anyone, it could in theory clear up in the next couple of hours though.

But the centre isn't available, that's why we go to
the field. And even if it stops raining, the jugglers
don't like getting their balls wet frown

money for standing in a field. If not, you can
give it to me instead wink

It was quite nice juggling under the trees, very refreshing
after all this heat.

Don't panik about your trip. Pay attention to what is going
on right now - that way you'll at least have some practice
for when you really need to be doing that wink

As long as you don't break out into poi moves in the middle
of the karate I'm sure you'll do fine ubbrollsmile

all the best hug

They're all the same anyway, eg I taught a friend of mine the 3 beat weave last weekend showing her how it was the same as a move called mawashi-uke (translates as 'round or circular block' I think) biggrin

Next meeting : Sunday 9th, crest of the hill in Southparks, I'll be there from 7pm till late, turn up whenever smile

Yeah, have a great time at EJC, mico - and don't get so good at anything that you don't want to mix with us mere mortals when you come home wink

From the magical match kingdom... *



And a small amount of time with google has revealed the Prisoner white thing was called Rover, and those not-space-hopper things were called Lolo Balls



I love the internet smile

Hello!

Yes everyone is very welcome biggrin

Over the summer, we meet on Wednesdays in the park behind the Angel & Greyhound pub on St Clements St, with a vague start time of 7pm.

But also, sometimes there are weekend meets if and when people get themselves together - which brings me nicely onto this: does anyone fancy a spin on Sunday evening? I was thinking Southparks and I will probably be there from 6/7ish. Post if you reckon you might come smile

Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

Well its rope, and has a small monkey fist at the er, handle end and a big monkey fist at the business end - in which
is a small monkey fist in which is a knot.

As you can imagine this takes up a lot of rope, and the 10m I bought (minus 2 lengths for rope poi) have left me with
a rather piddly rope dart... Too short for that trick we both like. redface

I shall look at it as monkey fist practice! ubblol

In other news I can do continuous poi throws and working on solid back crosses. There's a tremendous variety of
throws, I could spend all my time learning this instead of any more poi stuff. juggle eek

I will buy more rope today. Lots of it! I figure that just before the exit from 'our' move you could go into a neck wrap.. ubbidea

See you in 3 weeks! happy spinning (and wip catching and..) hug

Aww 'our' move ubblove

Ive found an extension of that move, in which it wraps around the 'first' arm again and comes out really nicely, and also one that i only managed once but looked and felt sooo lovely i will try to do it again. It's the same entry but turning more and it comes out above the head and into a wrap on the opposite arm, very odd but very nice smile neck wrap sounds fun, i shall experiment. My hair tends to make neck wraps feel a bit weird biggrin

Chutney, yes, i shall be in oxford around the 12th August so a big fiery meet would be luverly, bring Mr Hyperlight biggrin

Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.
