Summer Location: Queen Victoria gardens.
The aim is not for a solely firetwirling night, but a night whereby firetwirlers, jugglers, contact jugglers, diabolo etc can meet. So feel free to bring friends who may be interested.
Night starts at 6pm for all those who are keen to learn. Fire starts after dark 7.00 - 8ish till late!
So.... the location is Queen Victoria Gardens
St. Kilda Road – opposite 'National Gallery of VIC' (Old Arts Gallery with spire)
The grassed area near the three raised palm trees. (Look out for the bronze statue hammer thrower)
With only a 5 minute walk over the princess bridge from Flinders Street station.
Here's the map
https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...360&ie=UTF8
*WINTER LOCATION*
Under the Princess bridge (Southbank side). Where the Southbank Sundey market happens.

Hi Karmaa, there's a map on the previous page of where we meet up, we'll be at the summer location till well into next year. Sunday's are great fun, they've been quiet for a little while, but judging from the past several posts everyone's raring to go again.

Hey guys, pretty sure I'll be down tonight. But I may need a place to stay. I have been temporarily spooked from late night/early morning driving because I was so close to hitting a roo on Friday driving back!
Does anyone have some spare space?

Oh roarfire, that sucks!
If I had crash space, I would totally offer it up.
We ended up staying up until 5am on Friday night/Sat morning. It was tonnes of fun and I really enjoyed meeting and hanging out with ya's.
I think Chris and I are hoping to make it down there tonight too. I want to get the chance to see everyone again before I head out in the morning.

Damn, I just went in to check my shifts at work and I'm working tonight - my own fault for being generous
If I knew Pele was down I wouldn't have offered.

Hey, Bender, you guys drive into the meet? Where do you park your auto?
If I make a miraculous recovery from illness I just might make an appearance.
Xenologic, head over to the introductions thread, grab a template and tell us about yourself!

I spoke to him last week and I think he's intending on staying in adelaide for a bit longer instead of going to new zealand. Maybe the message didn't get through.
