Hi every one, there is a fun firey meeting on Fri night in Adelaide town.

Here are the details (generously provided by the lovely Gen) which I have cut from the adelaide fire group website (see address above).


dear firey friends,

this friday will be the first day of spring, so to celebrate i
thought i would throw a party, a fire twirling party! so all you
twirlers out there in this little town called adelaide, get your
staff and poi ready to twirl in a night of pure firey madness known
as the adelaidefirenight!

this friday i will be making my way into the city (hopefully with the
company of some other like minded fire twirlers *wink* *wink*) at
about 9pm for a night of fire!

if the night's sky is filled with stars or a little bit of cloud then
we will be located on a little grass patch at the corner of War
Memorial Drive and King William Streets. This is just over from the
Adelaide Oval and a bit down from the Torrens River.

but if the weather is not on our side, ie heavy clouds or even rain,
then we will take shelter from the elements under the King William
Street Bridge, just near Jolleys Boathouse (on the side closest to
the city).

I will be bringing along some crazy tunes, some blankets to keep you
guys warm, some candles and some insence. i will also bring along
about 10 litres of kero but if you guys feel like partying on then i
think a little bit more will be required. i might even bring along
some tasty treats to keep your little bellies full and your energy
levels high! for all you guys that do not yet have your own twirling
equipment i will also be bringing out some staff (single and double)
some poi and practice poi!

If there is anything else that you would like me to bring out or if
you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. you can
reach me by email or if you would like, my mobile number is
0438661283.

wow, the beginning of spring already, how exciting! come on guys, all
you closet fire twirlers, hiding in the shadows, getting dusty, come
out and celebrate the start of spring with us! let's have a fire
party in the heart of the city!

looking forward to seeing you all out there! have a great week guys.


in light and love,

oops, i got a bit excited! this friday is not the start of spring but
the start of august! anyway, we can still have a party!


i'm not sure what is going to happen on friday night anymore, looks
like ben has organised something as well!

well, i guess everyone can meet at the rotunda if the weather is nice
at about 7pm. Otherwise we will be under the bridge!

For those of you who can't make it out that early, don't worry we
should be around for a while!

Ok guys, have a great week.

hello peoples ,

Just to let u all know that Adelaide meets are still going strong!

There is now another website that also posts stuff about whats on in Adelaide town

https://groups.yahoo.com/group/Arc_of_Flame/

There has been people out every friday for a while now, but there is a bigger crowd that comes out every second week:)


The meeting places are swapping round a bit but if u go to the king william st bridge on a friday night you will find us

either
- south side of bridge on the grass near the rotunda
- under bridge (if raining)
- north side of bridge on the right hand side (if u are comming from the city)

Wherever we are it is easy to find us just look for the flames

Some of the diehard regular crowd will be there from 7:30-8, but most people turn up around 9ish


Happy flammies everyone

Hi everyone I am not sue who is going tonight. But if anyone if up for a burn the directions for Twelfetree reserve are as follows.

Wed nights after 9ish at twelftree reserve
if your driving north of the city along hackney rd, take a left onto
richmond st. this should be the street with the hackney hotel on the
corner, if not... my bad and look for the hackney hotel. keep
driving up the road past the caravan park which should be on your
left, and just behind that is twelftree reserve. this should be on the corner of torrens st and richmond st.

Friday night is definitely happening, from about 7:30 onwards. Come along to the park near the Torrens river adjacent to King William st bridge. It is on the city side of the bridge and we meet near the rotunda (but u should see the flames if u are in the area) If it is rainning we will be under the bridge.

Bring food, blankies, happy vibes, friends, drums etc.

See u there flammy people
(I will probably be late, but I will be there )
