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)

If I bring the fire pit a couple of people will have to help me get it all from he car. I have plenty of wood though.

I think it might have to be done as its getting damn cold up here now!

Yay for adventures. smile

Although I may have to turn up late, or turn up early and then disapear for a few hours as I have family visiting on the sunday afternoon who want to go for a meal for my birthday as it will be the last chance they get to see me before I leave for Oz.
Which, inccidentaly, is all set. I leave Manchester on Sun 19, and my flight leaves heathrow on Monday 20th. Returning on Tuesday 22 May. bounce

I think it's better to turn up late than leave halfway through as some time would be wasted on the journey there and back and there again. Depends on what time they plan this meal...

Don't know if I can make this I'm afraid. Got lots of work to do that needs to be in the next week. I shall have to see closer to the time. Fingers crossed though.
