----------- 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.

Tosser?
Would you be implying that I throw big stones about, or that I've masturbated at some point in my life?

I would like to argue with the throwing of big stobes around because that's dangerous and irresponsible.

Ohh honey I'm so sorry but no I didn't see them when I left.

I think Ewan was still there after me, so you might be best off calling him.

Yep, Ewan has them.
he was mumbling something about learning to juggle, but I'm sure he'll bring them along next tuesday

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

I've missed a couple of weeks recently, but it couldn't be helped - I'll be turning up again tomorrow though, and I'll be bringing my new muppetskin poi

Yes i like spittalfields, its like a jurassic park, but with fewer gigantic carnivorous reptiles and more twirling.

This week i intended to learn fishtails and funky double staff waistwrap turns. Instead i learned how to do a silly walk while "wobbling" two sticks.

It was good anyway.

Such is the way of the workshop...

I'm worried by the fact that BamBam posts what she does the first week that I don't make it. :-/. Hope it was good last night. I met someone random up by the Albert Memorial and tried to persuade her to start coming to Spitalfields.

Indeed, it's been great the last few weeks - tons of people and lots of new faces. Just a pity I got called back to work for a bit last night, knackered me out by the time I got back!
