Eve...
None of us are currently studying at circomedia... though twobags and emily have just finished doing some teaching work there... My friend China's gonna be there later this year (from Sept/Oct) but i don't think you met her when you were over... Are you thinking of going? Would be cool to have you around...
Hope alls well...

I *might* be going. Depends on when I start uni. After 5 days of camping at Play I'm not sure my back could cope with 9 unless I get me a airbed

Lotsa hoppers traditionally come down for the last weekend - not many non-performing/student types can afford to take the whole week of work...
But this does mean that if you do the whole 9 days then more and more cool people arrive as time passes...

it's getting less and less likely i'll be coming to this
unless i can get a lift down there. i'll have to catch the train back midweek, but tbh what with falmouth the week before and a gig i want to go to on the friday, i think that's slightly too much college missed. on the other hand it will be the beginning of term so i'm assuming there won't be too much going on and all my prep work for any of the big courseworks i'll have done over the summer... i have a feeling this will be a last minute decision

Yup, that's not a problem, turn up when you can, pay for as long as you'll be staying, make sure you're completely free that week for the rest of your life cos you'll be coming back...

I'm so sad, I really really really want to go
If only I had a mollydog sitter. Hoppers are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

I have a friend that loves Dogs and they have one themslves - she may well be up for Dog sitting for a day or something. Give the word and i'll ask her.
Alternatively why not take your Pooch to a Doggery for a few days and come for the weekend?

Looks like the work I was going to be doing has been cancelled so I am free to go!
I've been wanting to head there for the last couple of years but there's always been something else going on. I was just wondering if any Bristol people's might have a place to stay a couple of days before or after depending on when the cheap flights are....or any Irish heads going over that have a spare place in a car?

Ronan - the House of Slack always has space for lovely spinners. You're more than welcome to come stay here - does mean having to put up with Tim (T&B), Sandy, Me and sometimes Loz though, if you can manage that...?
