----------- Spinning@... Update -----------

Dear all



we have moved to a new location.... se here for the new treead

[Old link]





see you at the rag factory..





this is why we have moved...





We had discussions in the pub on Tuesday regarding the use of the market for spinning@spitz and thanks to friends we have a much clearer idea of what’s going on:



Unfortunately we are not allowed back into the market for our workshops. It seems that while we have been out the market for the work, there has been a change of management. The new management appears to want to “increase the value” of the market area (gentrification is the term being used). This has led to many of the existing tenants not being invited to re enter the market, our selves included.



The st’georges residents association would have had no idea we would not be allowed back in, so although annoying its not their fault. We still have contacts in the market and we don’t want to cut out any future possibility of re-entering the market at a later date by kicking up a fuss, especially when there is no chance at all of us using the space in the current climate.



We need to do 2 things… 1. Find a temporary place to play ASAP… (see top) and 2. Find a permanent new home… to help us move forward we need your help. Please think of the people around you, be it your parents, friends, colleagues etc and see if there is anyone who may be able to finds us a new home… put the feelers out there.



If you find somewhere that fits our criteria (see below) then please get a contact name, a number or email and if appropriate, have a brief chat with them as a recommendation or personal contact makes a huge difference. If they are interested, forward their details to me and I will then chase it up.



We require an indoor or covered outdoor area with adequate lighting able to house up to 100 people on a Tuesday evening within 10mins from a tube and centrally located. We also require power to run a portable stereo.



On another note we have decided to have a Xmas party to raise some funds to help us secure a new spinning@..... ‘s venue. The confirmed date is Thursday 20th December in a Brixton from about 7.30 pm to 1 am. More details to follow.



Hopefully we will get sorted very soon and in the meantime we will meet at the poet next week and maybe look at ice skating, bowling or something else there after.



Huge hugs



Kev and the guys at spinning@.... ‘s

did I say 14? I meant 24.

It's my incomprehension of numbers that got us into trouble the first time... sigh.

Mech, I think you should stay in OZ this week.

The flights to Spitz and back would be a tad expensive.

And you would have to leave tomorrow to get here today, which throws up all kinds of temporal illogicies and makes me confused.

So stay.

Sit.

And hug more inanimate objects!!!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

I remember when Cole used to spin poi.

I think all the nookie he's been getting has been draining his poi drive.

Something must be done.

No more nookie until he's back at Jedi status. Says me.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

The (add censored word here, especially if you juggle) [Nx?] managed to teach me some weavesmiley whilst i was away so I may well be weavesmiley at Spitz on Tuesday.



But then again I might just smile in the middle in a place with no lights above me and juggle all night. Mr. Coleman - thought you might be interested in seeing this (6x,8x)(2x,4x) in the flesh so to speak...I've just about cracked it.



See you all in 1001...



Love and hugs to all
