Hey y'all...
For anyone interested there is a new twirling group started up in Nottingham.
We no longer meet down speak easy on sundays but we still spin EVERY THURSDAY down the FOREST FIELDS recreation ground from about 8PM. (see end of thread for details)
Here's the website: Fields of Fire
PM me or Originalsmit with any questions...

Well I was thinking we might come this weekend
Looks like we've missed the boat for the next couple of weekends.
I was thinking I might just have to boycott playing badminton one Thursday and come up to see you guys. I don't think Spanner would be able to make it as someone needs to look after the littl'un... actually are you guys meeting up tomorrow?
What was Stu doing on the plane? Was he heading out to Boom aswell.

Hang on, I've remembered why I couldn't come this Thursday.
I'm heading of to Longleat to meet my family (reason I won't be at Falmouth) so I'll be needing to get ready for that.
Similary I imagine that you'll be getting ready for Falmouth
Next time dude, next time.......

Should be.
If you head down to the Forest rec ground (Goose Fair site) for about 21:00 on a Thursday you should see something going on.
Other than that if you get in contact with "Tastes_Like_Purple" on here I know she is still involed with the gatherings.

*bump*
ok, so, i got fed up of FoF not having a website anymore, it kind of disappeared when most of the original spinners left nottingham or had other priorities (how dare they have lives!- look up for the main culprits
) Smit assures me another website is definately on it's way, but i'm not sure how long that will take 
ok so i went and made a wiki page cause i thought it'd be great if the regulars could put up their own profiles and pictures and videos, and add any events and and fun spinning related things... although so far i've just looked on the calendar on here to keep the events page up to date... but anyhoo, it's building up nicely although there are still some people i need to nag to get their profiles up *cough*smit*cough*.
the main point of the page is, not just to share nottingham spinning related news and such, but also, if anyone is in the neighbourhood and is thinking of coming down then they can give us a heads up and check out who's who.
now, i'm the poor 'don't have a job' type and can't afford my own domain and i'm also not a web designer, so excuse the simple nature of the site. but it does the job so it'll do! for now...
oh and btw, now it's summer the meet is back to full strength and we got some newbies this summer too
tis all good! a new website for a new nottingham spinning generation! the site is www.fieldsoffire.wetpaint.com

Ok, possibly short notice, but I am visitng Nottingham this Saturday (22 sept 07) to visit the lovely SNOOPoi and her iccle baby and would love to be able to meet a few others, catch up with a few people whilst I am down.
I arrive mid-day (trains working well) and leave around 7.30pm (although that could be subject to change if people convinve me enough) and have nothing planned for the day besides hanging out with Snoo.

well i suggest a nice spin on the arboretum and get all the nottingham spinners available to come along and have a fantastic chilled out afternoon
that is of course only as long as it doesn't rain.... if it does then i'm stumped! but even if it is raining i'm gonna come and search you out and pester you anyway Thoughts arrive like butterflies...

I'm coming back
but not for long
Right, so I'm going to be around for one Thursday night only this side of November which will be 4 October.
If people are around I will be down on the Rec ground from the usual time (whatever your usual time is these days) until I'm too tired to stand up anymore

WOOHOO!!!! but what's with this 'for one thursday night only malarki'? *shakes head*
normal time is normal time as usual - bout 9ish. it'll be fantastic to have our jesus back, even if it is only for the one fire night! oh but hold on, that's goose fair weekend, so the graveyard instead? unless smit or jo turn up only me and dimitri know about the graveyard but we'll try and make sure we're all there instead of the forest. i'll pm you my number cause i can't remember if i changed it or not since the last time you text me/i text you, so we can all find each other
See you soon! Thoughts arrive like butterflies...
