----------- Spinning@... Update -----------

Dear all



we have moved to a new location.... se here for the new treead

http://www.homeofpoi.com/ubbthreads/show.../o/fpart/1/vc/1





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

Perspective allows us to live in a world of incomprehensible possibility, simply by blinding us to almost all of it� We�re not horses, yet we all wear blinkers...

coo, that sounds wicked . Fed up hitting my light in my room and my flat mate doesnt like me doing indoors !

Catch the moon!

Catch the moon!

If you're free Wednesdays you can always come to Brixton workshop - this runs 7-10.

PM me if you wanna come along and I'll send you the details.

See you at Spitz

ah wah wah wah a wah wah

yeah cool, see you there and I will ask you about Brixton.

I had a dream that my friend had a
strong-bad pop up book,
it was the book of my dreams.

Just thought i would post up here that next week's Spitz (that's 15th Feb) will not be on...however we will all be heading to The Poet (the pub we normally go to afterwards) for a few drinks and maybe a renegade. There is some space out in the beer garden for spinning, but i think i'll be inside in the warm drinking and maybe doing something for the renegade oops maybe a

See y'all there

ah wah wah wah a wah wah

WHAT! NOT ON! WHY!????
its the 1st spits i could make in months and its not on!!!!

may go to the poet, but its not quite the same

warp children still smile the same

"when i left the mine i realised that the world was changing. or was it us who were changing?"

It's not on because Elle (some kind of strange magazine apparently) has decided that a market that's half knocked down is a fantastic venue for an award ceremony.

Supposedly, jennifer lopez and one or both of the beckhams might be there.

It's been suggested that we go to the poet for some dutch courage, then hand out tomatoes and send a volley or two at j-lo, which I think is a fantastic idea

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

Come to the pub with us instead, maybe even bring some tomatoes

In all seriousness though, I reckon the pub's going to be pretty full of us, it'll still be good, despite the temporary change of venue.

Odd question slightly too but is anyone from london driving to falmouth and have room in the car for one?

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind

Give a man a fish and he'll eat 4 a day hit a man with a brick and you can have all his fish and his wife

So where is The Poet? Durbs and I are thinking of going up but we don't know where you mean!!! . He has asked me to ask for a postcode and whether there is any parking. Thanks

Slicing the Loaf as we speak.

I need it..... Trust me!

its the one at folgate street.

i think you can park on that road no probs - if not though, its only a short walk from spitz so wherever durbs normally parks would be fine too.

i won't be there so have some extra fun for me too please
