Just a quickie to say thanks to everyone involved for a FAB jolly today (and yumpitous crepes, sarnies and brownies!!). Any chance it can be a regular (monthly?) throughout the summer?
Met some lovely people, learnt some new moves and realised just how many really good spinners there are out there.
Hope the HoP photo came out OK and that you get it posted sooooon - is there any way of labelling it so we can start putting names to faces?
Big thankyou again!

Shyness support groups? Name badges? (actually, the t-shirt with name and marmite preference on was pure genius!) Team building exercises? Group hugs? Where will it all end!

Durbs did indeed have the tshirt proclaiming that he was durbs and he likes marmite. You may not have seen it as he spent much of the afternoon wearing a sweater that you wouldn't usually see after boxing day.....
I had a hat with C@ntus written on it - only a few people noticed though methinks - Spiral had a spiral on his tshirt but he kept it covered up most of the time.

Damn.... it looks like a fun time.
Reminds me of a few "HOP trips" I took in Vermont, New York City and Nantucket Island last year.
*sigh*
Anything happening around June 23-25? I may be in London then.

I remember Justine, wouldn't let go of my flags, she even has them in the picture!!
amy k, ask people for help with a move. I'm always happy to help out people, which'll take you to a certain level and after that you'll have to hassle someone better! Not sure if we're going to do workshops at events, as there's such a wide range of ability there it's hard to find something to teach to a group.

I wasn't exactly dissing it. It was in reference to something he said to me the other night. 'tis all.
forgive me ? *hug*
Anyway - I can say something really nice too. His contact juggling was fantastic. There was one contact-juggly-thing in particular which was very impressive which i made him repeat too. *sigh* I wish I could do that.....

For everyone else's benefit - I DO NOT usually have a side parting, it was the wind.
and I did warn people about my lack of vertical stature...
I don't explode, I just dribble more.

I've posted a couple of Drew's pics which feature the lovely Danae spinning!
Oh, Newborn, you were spinning the double headed beaming poi? Kept meaning to come over and say hi and discuss throws but never got round to it. Got some double-headed poi myself. Next time hopefully.
