juggle weavesmiley Manchester Spinner’s Meet up and stuff weavesmiley juggle



Hi all If you are looking for people to spin poi with in the North west this is the place to be.



For any one new to this sight DON’T READ THE WHOLE THREAD it has been going a long time and contains lots of old information and chat about previous meet ups and organisation stuff just go to the last few posts to find out the most up-to-date information on current events.



First a bit of info the Manchester spinners lot is no professional spinning troop or organised events it is just a group of people who get together to enjoy themselves. The first meet up was organised way beck in September 04 https://delizium.fotopic.net/c291964.html

The crowd has changed a bit from back then but we have kept a few old timers we welcome all along to come and join us for a spin whether you be experienced or a complete beginner we are willing to teach and learn from you.



Their is no set time for the meet ups they are usually organised around when people can make it and how long they can stay.



I will try to update this first post as often as I can with the most up-to-date info on meet ups and club nights that allow spinning but if I'm being a bit lax just find the last few posts foe up-to-date info (like I said before weren’t you paying attention)



To date the standard meets have gone as meet up in Piccadilly gardens at 4pm (nice central point where every one can get to) Then move on down to the Gas Works/CastleField or Plat fields Park depending on the wether till everyone gets to cold/tired/burned then on to the pub

( anybody who doesn’t know where this is it can be arranged for someone to come meet you at the train station or wherever you are coming from .) smile

{ ubblove We are a nice bunch like that ubblove}



Accommodation for a night can usually be arranged but you need to sort this well in advance no just turning up expecting somewhere to sleep eek





(more to be added and all to be spell checked soon)



pm me any info you would like to add

before i met those lot i thought they'd be a bunch of dreadlocked hippies that smoked, set things on fire ,and drank a lot of tea but then when i met them....oh wait (PyroWill)

What, I'm missing a visit from both Nate and Willy?
Damn my plans to go traveling :P

Ah well I get to spin with Gabe, Dentrassi, Kyle McLean, Ry, Awaken, Moonpixie, Gita, Gita's Guy and a whole bunch of other great spinners and jugglers every Monday in Brisbane biggrin

For some reason I keep getting mesages that everyone is missing me at the meets, I thought you would be glad of the peace wink
I'm having a great time over here. Everything is going really well, meeting loads of great people, both HoPpers and random others
Had a great time at woodford and got to spin fire with around 50 other spinners and twirlers in front of a crowd that was in the region of 80-100, 000 strong. That was an experience I will never forget.
Can read more about it, as well as view pictures on my blog, further updates to come this weekend.

I will be back in the Uk on May 22nd and in Manchester on 23/24. look forward to seing you all again then wink

Sure! No problem! Just ask and I'll do my best!

First thing you can do is put some grip tape - suede, cork or hockey grip on the mid-section.

Did you say you were going to Monster? Or is that a silly question? Is Mills going? Not sure if I can get to Manchester early enough to pick up the key!

Your 3-section staff right? The mid-section piece doesn't have enough traction and padding if you wanna learn contact

Will be a suprise to me anyway...
