Good News, there is a bus that leaves from the road just above the station and goes past the park, but i'm afraid you'll have to extract the bus number and road name from one of the locals \Doh

Any locals about?

This might help Trippy, it's from the previous page:

Catch any of the 80s from outside virgin and they take you up to the roundabout.

Poi in the Park is held by the little cafe bit near the children's play area.

See you there s'pose

*jumps up and down in excitement*

Yes Cass princess Snoopoi will be coming too.

Hi Davena I am good thanks, Looking forward to seeing you again.

Can't wait for Saturday.

Are we nearly there yet?

Posted: 2nd Nov 2002
will come out to play - Rar!

Just to clarify, if you get on one of the 80+ buses from Virgin it's the Second roundabout you get off at (Hunter's Bar) not the first (safeway)

Will be bringing my tripod for the girlie (sorry, I didn't get your name!) who wanted to play with it.

I'm sorry you guys that I couldn't/ can't make it... I hope the Rains held out in Sheff, I'm drowing only 12 miles away!!! So Whens the next one>>> DEFINATELY GOING!!!!!!! Or meet up and go to Headcharge is it 29th November???

Posted: 5th Nov 2002
So, how wented it? I presume you had rain.

Meh

Posted: 4th Nov 2002
It was great weather. For ducks. But them Northerners are a hardy bunch, and will spin in a bog while it's pissing down. Suppose you have to when there's that many incredible spinners about! Me, I've got an umbrella I can spin

Posted: 5th Nov 2002
So did it go ahead then????, I wandered around the park until about 6:30, and saw no one.
I was well disapointed, I did try to phone The Mind Gap but i'm guessin he was in bed. Lucky for some!!!!

i'm really sorry roman. we hadn't quite come down properly from friday night so me and spiral went home to eat at about 5 when everyone else walked off to spin somewhere drier.
and i'm afraid i didn't hear the phone go off.

wherever you go, there you are.

Posted: 5th Nov 2002
Aye,don't worry about it mate, i had possibly one of the most interesting days of my life!!!!!
For that alone it was worth the trip upto Sheffield.

I only got to meet one other twirler all day, sadly, and that was on the bus on the way to the park, so if that was you on the bus that asked me "Are those your fire staffs" HELLO!!!! At least you met me!!!!!

My spelling wobbles. its very good spelling but it wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong place

Hey guys, managed to recover from the lack of sleep finally. I think it must of been all those bloody buttmonkeys scuttling around.

Had a well inspiring time in Sheffield- exactly what I needed to get back on track again. Cass, it was groovy to finally meet you after a couple of cancelled occassions, your spinning was very slinky indeed and your scrummy crepes definately did not dissapoint - think I had about twelvty or was it threleven? Can you send em in the post?

As for PK and the lovely Nancy, muchos generosity yet again. Where would we have been without your caffine and all round hostiness, probably getting soaked in the rain. Jusrt make sure that the cd you promised me dose not take as long as the last one. lol

Sunday was a cracking day, my first social spin in weeks and great to see so many accomplished spinners in such a small space. Rob, your staff work was fantastic but what do you mean you don't like 3 beats. Got a cracking shot of you doing a neck wrap/lolli scoff - haven't seen that one before anywhere!

Dom and Lolli - I just don't think that I could of got to sleep without your bed time stories, picturing you (Dom) as a princess made me drop straight off.

Glass, thanks for the snippets of footage here and there, got plenty to work on for weeks now, think i'll leave the contact ball for a while though.

Love and :hug:s to all Sheffield spinners, really looking forward to the next!

Hi to all the spinners who were at Sheffield this weekend. Its Aiden by the way using Liams connection.

I had a fantastic weekend and enjoyed meeting lots of new faces and quality spinners. Ive definately been re-inspired by you all.

Big thanks to PK and Nancy for providing a roof and hospitality, ive decided to give the Arabian gun spinning a miss and still feel ill thinking about the Baton video.

go to all and i look forward to meeting again, hopefully in the near future. If anyone is wondering, the Aerotech staff survived its swim in the murky water and will perform again.

Nancy, dont worry about the coat its been restored to original condition, hope the pants survived to see another buttslide!

Posted: 6th Nov 2002
So when's the next Twirling Night/ Weekender!!! I've just got to meet up with everyone again, find out what you've all been up to!!!! As I mentioned earlier how's a bout a big night out at Headcharge? Do they do fire performing in there does anybody know??? Plus I've got to meet Nancy, and I've not seen Spikey Rich, PK or Thistle in 10 Months or so>>>>> Agghhhhh!!!! My work is like Prison... LOL

Posted: 6th Nov 2002
Just thought I'ld drop on by to say what has already been said at least ten times....

Great meeting you all

Nice to see such a variety of styles - very inspiring. I've never seen such good contact stuff. And that 7 beat weave is just oh-so-pretty Glass. I expect it to be 9 next time we meet.

Wonderful to finally meet you Cas. Enjoy your travels and make sure you visit us again. In Summer though. And bring more crepes.

thanks for making it such a good weekend everyone and bla bla bla bla bla
