Hello all - as Durbs and I are starting to get a few enquires - I reckon we should put it down in the events section
Every Thurdays at York Road car park (at the top in winter - on the grass outside when it gets warmer) not the carpark symbol need to drive down the hill between by the red circle and the highstreet - it's in there...
We tend to get there between 7.30 and 8pm and drift off when we are tired, cold or thirsty..
Any toys welcome! All levels of ability welcome.. we can give you pointers, but please don't expect a work shop type affair - but come and play and see what happens.. sit, chat, smoke, spin - s'up to you..or show us new stuff to help inspire..
All poi, staffs, short staff, devil stix, diabolo, swords, astrojax, flags, uv, fire.. you name it we got them - and if not bring more..
Hope to see you - if yo need any info - please PM either me or Durbs..
Take it easy
Niki aka Stix

But something to do on either Mon/Wed/Fri would be good

don't let work get in your way (i never have). If you wanna steward the ambient picnic this year all that's asked is a couple of hours on the day (a sunday). There's no pay but you get a tshirt and to walk around with a radio, if you like that sorta thing
if you can get over the fact that its a big pile of sh*te, if you do a couple of shifts at guildford live you get a free ticket and paid too. Actually, last year if you went down on the Thursday night you could get a wrist band without any ID, if you just claimed you were a steward. Fools.

Pink poi - yey! see you there..
Flid - Spoons = soon I'm a little when it comes to words..
I've never done marshalling.. I want to get into acutal event organisation.. but marshalling is a good way to start I think - thanks..
I don't think I've ever paid for Guilfest.. got free tickets one year the year after my friends sound system they did the kids field.. last year I was given a weekend pass, because I asked someone that was leaving for their band - nearly always works.. but this year I think Burnt Toast is gonna be performing again like we did last year..so fingers crossed.

I'm very much looking forward to visiting my sister in Guildford next week. She has a few friends who are just getting into fire and have apparently been going to the gatherings on thursdays. It's been since Burning Man that I've spun with a large group, so if there's another big showing that'd be wicked sic even.
See ya next thursday.

just in case people are wondering.. that was said about a loveable fat old golden retriever, by his 'lovely' but insane lady owner.. apparently the dog heard the drums and wanted to come out and play.. he barked a few times as we were in 'his' field.. but he wouldn't bit - coz he's a lover.. aparently..
might have my new toys by thursday!

Oh, can you go up top and edit the first post changing the start times to 7.30 - we can always change it back again during the winter.
