Mr Fish o'flame is right, I think we need to have a new thread for the second meet especially as it won't let me edit the title of the old one
So here's the open invitation to everyone who reads this to join us in Falmouth. It seems most agree on the weekend of 6th-8th or there round abouts (I'll be there from the 5th) and we're camping
here at the same campsite
and spending our nights
here on Maenporth Beach
If you wanna see what the last meeting looked like visit
Soton Firespinners to download the video
If anyone wants to come just turn up but we'd appreciate a post or two to let us know so we can be sure the campsite can expect a certain number of people although they have lots of space and no doubt would fit us in without a problem.
Its a winner, you know it makes sense, be there or be a square poi and besides what else have you got to do you bunch of weirdos!?!
And if we want it better I think we should be a little better prepared for funness, does anyone have one of those massive tents like army ones? Or would anyone be interested in piling into a couple of chalets perhaps? And maybe a generator for tunes on the beach *cough*strugz*cough* for when the bones start showing through Mags' fingers?! Any other suggestions folks? Could people all try to bring a little wood with them please? Even a few sticks each will make a massive difference but if Brad wants to use his 100% work discount again that'd be well cool 
So who's-a comin?
The list currently looks like this and I'll keep this post updated for ease of looking for links and names etc

Garthy it's dead easy from Bristol, it's only three roads including the M5 till you get there.
Have just spoke to the campsite they're charging £13 for two people + one tent + one car. And if you do what BAD BAD Mags did it won't cost you a penny
Was that directed at me? From Telford to Falmouth its anywhere between 5 1/2-7 hours depending how much I thrash, erm, drive Georges car
As we've gotta go into Brizzle to pick up Rossco I'd say we leave at 11am, get Ross at 1ish (with a bit of luck if his bosses are nice and let him out early) and get to Falmouth no later than 6.

my bosses are indeed very nice and gave me the whole day off!
That means i'll be ready to go from about 7 a.m. onwards.
now all i need to do is find a way to convince bug that it would be a good idea to come to my house on wednesday night, sleep over and then take us onwards from there, its a shorter journey from my house and i wont have to even think aboot going to bristol then.

Vixen - don't worry i'm a loner too. I'm travelling down alone. And back up again alone.
I slept in other people's tents last time...may do that again...as i haven't gotten round to buying one yet and money is going down very very quickly. (but my next pay day is 6th August and i'll be in Falmouth then!)

Are the sparkely poi the one that use wire wool and fling molten bits of metal around.
They look cool but a line of people spinning could cause real probelm's.
We could go down in the record books as the largest number of people injured while spinning poi.

diagonal line of people would work...
I was thinking about a wire-wool rope dart - as every time you did a kick with it, or pulled it back quickly, you'd get a cool burst of sparks.
Then I thought - Ah, but it'll burn the crap ouf of you when it goes wrong.
So I stopped thinking about it

Wooooo *dances*
Unfortunately I won't have a staff by the time I go though, as I am expecting one for my birthday, which is on the 16th August.
I shall be stealing all of yours. ALL of them.

It only took me bout 10 attempts!!! but hey im here now.......two weeks to go and everyone will be waking up about now smelling the remains of the friday night burn,parrafin, residues of sativa maximus strenthus and maybe a few nursing hangovers, comedowns
and burns(maybe). i cant wait.............
i was thinking!! seeing as there will be a lot of people there that dont know each other would it be a good idea if everyone made a funky sticker or badge to bring with them with their name, or screen name might be better so you can work out who's who?

don't worry, you'll soon get to know everyone. It took all of about 5 minutes to get to know everyones name last time so it'll be cool. I think it's more fun if you try and guess who's who to see how close your idea of what they look like is
