Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

meeting some people would be gd cos i know about 2 other people who have ever even tried poi and dont see much of them. i am begining to hit a wall with what i can teach myself (without too many black eyes!) and it would be great to get a little help or anything i guess! only, not knowing many people who are in to this kinda thing, i dont know where to start looking!

Hi!
to be perfectly honest i dont really remember much of enfield itself.
i moved to worcestershire when i was very young and have only really been back briefly once last year. but i have heard its pretty rough in places too. the only place i would really recognise is chase farm hospital.
if im honest, pershore is home cos really its the only place i remember living!
