I am very new to this site..... I have been into poi for four years now, and with only 25 minutes of practice time since buying them I have to one of the slowest developing “poi'ers” on this site.......but that’s all set to change!! I will be better, I will practice, and I will not hit myself either on the back of the head or where it hurts again... today ladies and gentlemen is a new day!!... so I would like to say hi to everyone... such a friendly bunch of people... and tell you now that I will openly accept any hits, tips and free demonstrations that you care to throw at me.. then I can have my own video section!!!…… Hello Everyone!!!

Hi and welcome Davie! wave That was a very uplifting intro biggrin Was wondering, and would you happen to know- in the movie Babe, was there a scene where he opened a door to a new day and went 'Laa! Laa! Laa!'?

My lord..... two replies already!! I knew this was the place where all the cool kids hang out!!! Hello Mr Roar, Hello Mr Ry!!

Ry, as for babe its not a movie I have ever seen, however I think you can relate to my "GOOD MORNING HOMEOF POI" Robin Williams style from good morning vietnam...

Roar, I think learning the 3 beat weave in four years is pretty poor..... but once I got it........ I had a huge smile!!!!

Babe's watchable for the three blind mice biggrin But anyway.. just thought that 'kiss the day' theme had a bit of a parallel to your intro.

Hellos and welcome wave

Come to Falmouth... it's going to be excellent... and it's not That far from Leeds, ahem, really?!!

Anyways... go to the events section and check out the very long Falmouth 4 thread.

In case you don't want to read it all... there's hundreds of Hoppers from all over the UK and Ireland and US meeting up in Falmouth from July 21-25 for a weekend of spinning, fun and general mayhem.

You'd be very welcome.

Anyways, take care
Clare x

Do you know what Larzie?!?!?!?! I would love to pop down and join you, Brisvegas was a great place to live.... if only Oz would have me back!!!!.... It was in Brisbane that I saw my first fire twirler get tangled up while doing a Mexican wave...... it wasn't funny, but couldn't help myself but laugh at his expense... hehe....

Yey.. Good thinking!!! I think its safe to say I will have my place sorted by April... the trampoline however might have been put away for the winter... so other accommodation might be organised!!.... but it will be out again for the summer!!

Get yourself up to Leeds and I will take you "First Class" (VW Polo) to the Lake District!!

To top the whole thing off... as you work in a call Centre I will get you a job doing recruitment if you like....*earning myself some fees over a message board!!*

I had a similar kind of welcome when I came over to OZ, everyone was so helpful and willing to do anything for you, it was great!!

I have no idea if Call Centre work pays well, its not something I have ever done. I recruit people into Recruitment jobs... especially those with call centre experience... biggrin

Whats the Lake District?????? ubblol
