----------- 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

A kiss blown is a kiss wasted, the only kind of kiss is a kiss tasted.

I'm a woman. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating and not just a LITTLE bit scary.

might be dropping mine too.

(bit more frequent than Bams cause she doesn't like that whole contact thing where the stick leaves your hands and is more likely to be dropped)

my sticks will mainly be on the floor or in the air with brief moments of being in my hands, for i am king of pole dropping in the land of the hospital fields

Thus i win

oh and i'll also be chucking my contact ball around a bit too. Thanks to spitz concrete floor it already has more scratches than a DJ Q-Bert track

A bit of bad news - Ewan's discovered that the signed HoP shirts havn't been handed in as lost property

Does anyone have pictures of them? As a last ditch attempt to find them I'm going to make some signs and put them up around spitz, they'd probably work better with pictures.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

"WORD, me and shorty gonna be droppin' mad stix this sunday yo. You?"

"Na, yo, My stixs got jacked at spitz. I might have to tangle some chain yo."

"Aaight, peace"

Well, shall we go?

nyc - someone gave me "mad props" the other day.

so i was expecting like some juggling clubs made of water or maybe a frozen mercury contact ball but no such "mad props" materialised...?

i'm confused son.
