If you have a look further down the list, you will see that we used to have a meeting on Thursdays, but it was cancelled. We have yet to move it somewhere else.Other than that, there are the Moonfests at Shornecliffe once a month. Bec will usually post up the event closer to the date.

I just met some weally awesome staff/poi twirlers from the hot-sticky end of queensland - John and Ros. Ros is pregnant and John's got like a purple Krishna haircut - I was wondering if any of you guys know about them? they hit the Woodforde festival scene too. It just surprises me everytime when really skilled twirlers all know about/participate on the HomeofPoi website!! They also corroborated their experience that all the Brits backpacking here who can twirl are AMAZINGly good.*feels chill go down spine*"da last time me twirled, i was pasty dig me nan."- A. G.
