Wow, yeah it's really flown by.
I'm not sure if I can afford to go this year, what with going to Glastonbury, I really hope I can though.

Looks like it's just us in this thread Jon, hopefully not at Reading too.
Did you find anywhere to spin fire last year?
I saw a couple of people light up and get away with it, but I saw more people have their wicks stamped into the dirt by the power crazed security teams
I think I'll have to get another pair of glow poi sorted just in case - I've already got my electroglos but a bit of variety is always nice.

It's not 40 Hoppers that we're camping with is it? That'd be cool.
I'm not entirely sure that I'll be taking fire yet. I'm tempted, but there's all the extra hassle of carrying fuel plus trying to find somewhere to spin that's not going to get the security running trying to steal our poi.

Hmm, I'm not so sure the parade of shops is such a good place to spin fire - out of the fair number of people I saw try to light up there last year, only two of them managed a full burn.
What happened to the riverside thingamewhotsit that people were talking about last year - that's apparently where you can spin fire without being hassled by security.

Me Me i got my tickets a couple days ago.
There the crummy tair off tickets not like the cool big ones that they used to be(with the colour picture).
And to my discust they came in a first class plain envelope. Not the way i exspect my postage and handling to be spent. Also my dads Rolling Stones tickets came like that to. I'd go mental if they got lost in the post!!!
I Would complain but they won't give a SH*T!!
