Wow, just realised the Happy Thursdays thread was buried in the depths of 2004! This simply won't do, especially since the weather's getting nicer every week... come on people!
I'll be there tomorrow, and hopefully someone else will too!
Yay, summer!

Hope you have a good night!!

Not sure about spinning - a little bit damp and cold, but Scruffy's is always so warm and welcoming

So just to confirm, there's no spinning tonight (Thurs) by the river, but we're still on for the pub this Sun? Am hoping we can have the pub anyway, since the forecast is RAIN! https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2040
Nadishome: Durb's directions at the top of the thread are still correct. Check out the Guildford Sunday Sessions thread as well! It is usually every Thursday, tonight is a rare exception! Anyways, hopefully see you soon!

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.

*blows thick layer of dust off the thread with an industrial strength leaf blower creating a giant cloud of ickle grey particles*
cough cough... i can't believe how deep this was buried!
anyway, i had a really good spin last night despite, or perhaps because of, the small turn out, heavy mash up smoke fest, coffee cup fuel container and a burn that's given me the biggest blister i've ever had....
lets make sure we keep things going this winter even though all the fairweather crew seem to have dissappeared already!

Glad people turned out - Southampton was fun too, but no fire (or smoking at the spin meet - which frankly, is just wrong

Howdy all!
Well, it's a lovely evening for a spin and a spliff... will definitely have to head down the river this evening. This time I'll try to arrive before everyone's gone home to bed...!!
It sucks, because Thursdays are by far my busiest day of the week at the mo... I'll try not to be too late.
Am still very much up for Sundays too. It's much better to practice in daylight.. Durbs: Do you think we'll be able to use the Stoke pub again?? I know a fair few people who are interested in learning poi, I'll have to kick their ass down to the river to beef up the numbers!
Actually, having said that, probably won't be alive for this Sunday, since it's Hard House Academy 5 on Saturday.... Yay, LAB4!

Best of luck
I tried for ages to get an indoor venue for Thursday - it's very hard meeting all the criterea; lots of space, high ceiling, cheap/free, smoking possible (not necesarily inside, but close), music, open till at least 10....
Not sure about the Stoke on Sunday's, I've spoken to them briefly and they didn't seem uber-keen to have us back. Which is fair enough seeing as the room should cost £120 ish and we used to pay them £30 max - just not enough regular people on a Sunday (Or Thursday for that matter)
Ho-hum

Definately a good one to leave the country on! Thursdays just aren't going to be the same for the next couple of years...
Hopefully be seeing you all when I get back, whenever that may be!
If anyone wants to go on my e-mail list (found a nice free blog site with maps and everything!), pm me your addresses. Probably just being a bit useless, but I can't seem to find out how to grab addresses from the profiles. I'm sure I used to be able to do that.
All the best,
James
