Hi everyone.
I have been browsing this site for a few weeks and have finally registered.
I am completely new to Poi and have just recieved my first set of poi that i bought from Ebay.
I've tried looking at the lessons online, but find the images are just too darn small. Anyone know a good place for me to start my path of poi?
Any help would be much appriciated.

There's bound to be someone along who's in your neck of the woods who can tell you about local poi-spinning!
Cheers!

Hello
Are you called Alice? Or did you choose the name for other reasons?
Do you like the colour pink?

Near the Stamford Bridge?? Do your eyes glaze over when people mention the battle like Aimees do about Hastings.
Theres one person in York, is that you. Check the meet others maybe. Good luck in finding someone to teach you.

Ms Darkness doesn't actually appear to be called Alice in real life. She seems to be called Liz.
I think the darkness bit is a reference to the Alice computer game. Anyhoo, mayhap i should let her answer these questions instead of me. She's bound to have a clearer idea about them than i have.
hey Mistress Darkness. How's it going? Been to any good clubs recently?
Meh

Welcome to HoP Alice and don't pay any attention to Vanize. We may be a little crazy but noone here is truly mad. Gidgs eyes start to glow a mysterious red as she cuckles mischeviously
