I've just come back to England from travelling around Aus this winter, where I was introduced to the dazzling world of fire twirling! I haven't tried it yet, I can't even find a good broomstick.
Now I'm back in London I would love to get started with my staff twirling life, but have absolutely no idea how. Are there some classes I can go to, and people to meet with?
Happy spinning people

Posted: Hiya! Welcome to HoP, and well done for getting involved in fire spinning
Did you enjoy Australia? I got back not long ago too, and I'm missing the weather, to say the least..
I'm sure there'll be a few meets around London- personally, I'd go for random meets, rather than organised classes- there's generally a bigger mix of skills, so you can watch and learn what you like, rather than someone telling you 'this is the next thing you do'.. And generally people are friendly and happy to teach you what you want, if you ask nice enough
THE MEEK WILL INHERIT THE EARTH!
If that's okay with you?

Godzilla vs. a Star Wars Star Destroyer. Who wins? Why? Star Wars clearly, it's in the bloody name. Godzilla isn't as big or powerful as a star is it?
Favorite TV show(s): Dexter, 24, Lost
Plans for life in general: (i.e. what you want to do when you grow up): Have fun, spend as much time doing things I want to do rather than working for somebody else. Some day own my own pool club named "Sharkies"

Do you think these pants make my butt look too big?: "No", you should be saying that before they've finished the sentance.
Favorie ice cream flavor(s): Cookie dough
Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?* Nutella definitely, though there are better chocolate spreads out there.
[*Please choose one. This is important as it is the site's equivalent to sating a religion. We have crusades, wars, mass conversions, cathedrals to Nutella, all that stuff.]
Posted: That's great, thanks very much matey. Tuesdays aren't too good for me, but Fridays sound perfect and I'll be in touch with Alex real soon about it. Exactly what I'm after!
Would be extra outstanding if anybody had any information about the hotel in Greenwich too?
