Forums > Events, Performances and Gatherings > Falmouth II - Bigger, Brighter & Burnier than ever

Mr Fish o'flame is right, I think we need to have a new thread for the second meet especially as it won't let me edit the title of the old one



So here's the open invitation to everyone who reads this to join us in Falmouth. It seems most agree on the weekend of 6th-8th or there round abouts (I'll be there from the 5th) and we're camping



here at the same campsite



and spending our nights



here on Maenporth Beach



If you wanna see what the last meeting looked like visit



Soton Firespinners to download the video



If anyone wants to come just turn up but we'd appreciate a post or two to let us know so we can be sure the campsite can expect a certain number of people although they have lots of space and no doubt would fit us in without a problem.



Its a winner, you know it makes sense, be there or be a square poi and besides what else have you got to do you bunch of weirdos!?!



And if we want it better I think we should be a little better prepared for funness, does anyone have one of those massive tents like army ones? Or would anyone be interested in piling into a couple of chalets perhaps? And maybe a generator for tunes on the beach *cough*strugz*cough* for when the bones start showing through Mags' fingers?! Any other suggestions folks? Could people all try to bring a little wood with them please? Even a few sticks each will make a massive difference but if Brad wants to use his 100% work discount again that'd be well cool



So who's-a comin?



The list currently looks like this and I'll keep this post updated for ease of looking for links and names etc

Garthy it's dead easy from Bristol, it's only three roads including the M5 till you get there.

Have just spoke to the campsite they're charging �13 for two people + one tent + one car. And if you do what BAD BAD Mags did it won't cost you a penny

How long does it take to get to falmouth from urs???



Was that directed at me? From Telford to Falmouth its anywhere between 5 1/2-7 hours depending how much I thrash, erm, drive Georges car As we've gotta go into Brizzle to pick up Rossco I'd say we leave at 11am, get Ross at 1ish (with a bit of luck if his bosses are nice and let him out early) and get to Falmouth no later than 6.

Let's relight this forum

my bosses are indeed very nice and gave me the whole day off!

That means i'll be ready to go from about 7 a.m. onwards.

now all i need to do is find a way to convince bug that it would be a good idea to come to my house on wednesday night, sleep over and then take us onwards from there, its a shorter journey from my house and i wont have to even think aboot going to bristol then.

Vixen - don't worry i'm a loner too. I'm travelling down alone. And back up again alone.

I slept in other people's tents last time...may do that again...as i haven't gotten round to buying one yet and money is going down very very quickly. (but my next pay day is 6th August and i'll be in Falmouth then!)

Never pick up a duck in a dungeon...

no ones a loner, everyones welcome!(except pikeys and octogenarians)

Hmmmmmmm!

I feel like a bit of a stranger in the thread for my local spin, having just read over 100 posts in it since I last checked!

Still, two weeks today, and I shall be in Falmouth(probably Mags' garden) trying to not break my beamers this time!!

*looks impatiently at watch*

*taps foot*

*looks impatiently at watch again*

Damn I can't wait to see those again who I met last time, and meet more lovverly folks coming down!

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Now you're putting words in my mouth!



Besides - you will be far better off than us, you're going to the warm side of the planet, not coming to damp ol' Cornwall!

Next time dude, next time!

Rossco darlin make room for me and i promise not to force mushroom tea or hash cakes on you this time

I'll come back as fire and burn all the liars and leave a blanket of ashes on the ground.
I could write the new bridget jones diary only mine would be more bizarre, funnier, dirtier more unbelievabe and bloody true!

Benn talking to flyreflyz from firetoys board and he says he has some sparkly poi to bring and would anyone like one making for them? I reckon if we have a massive line of sparkley's it'd look sweet

I'm havin some, anyone else?

Let's relight this forum

Are the sparkely poi the one that use wire wool and fling molten bits of metal around.

They look cool but a line of people spinning could cause real probelm's.

We could go down in the record books as the largest number of people injured while spinning poi.

"**grumble*spuriouswindmills*grumble**" - Coleman
"if poi was only for girls there wouldnt be many good poi spinners...." - Nx

diagonal line of people would work...

I was thinking about a wire-wool rope dart - as every time you did a kick with it, or pulled it back quickly, you'd get a cool burst of sparks.

Then I thought - Ah, but it'll burn the crap ouf of you when it goes wrong.

So I stopped thinking about it

Burner of Toast
Spinner of poi
Slacker of enormous magnitude

yeah diagonal would be cool, look good on film too

Let's relight this forum

Man you guys have all been talking bout what ive been thinkin, i come here to post the idea and youve all beat me to it

2 staggerd lines will work a treat - bit like WWWW

on each poin of the W spaced well enuf it will work - most ive ever been part of is 3 sets of wool at once - would be nice to beat that record - id say about 5 would be a good limit - but hey saying that - i kinda like no limits

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

Slicing the Loaf as we speak.

I need it..... Trust me!

if people are making sparkly poi i'll have some please!

i've been after some for a while now so i'm up for the sparklefest 100%!

who ate all the poi's?

How much of a difference will YOU make to the world today?

Raaaaa! Looks like I'm down to go then, woooooooo! I'm well excited now. I suppose I'd better read through this bloody long thread then hadn't I?

Wooooo *dances*

Unfortunately I won't have a staff by the time I go though, as I am expecting one for my birthday, which is on the 16th August. I shall be stealing all of yours. ALL of them.

"Take that, math!"

YEY!! Hiya Mike glad to see you finally made it on! Can't wait for the sparkly-ness

yo puresock, you can steal my staff but if it tries to hug you and give you a kiss you don't appreciate don't blame me if you're bruised

Let's relight this forum

It only took me bout 10 attempts!!! but hey im here now.......two weeks to go and everyone will be waking up about now smelling the remains of the friday night burn,parrafin, residues of sativa maximus strenthus and maybe a few nursing hangovers, comedowns and burns(maybe). i cant wait.............
i was thinking!! seeing as there will be a lot of people there that dont know each other would it be a good idea if everyone made a funky sticker or badge to bring with them with their name, or screen name might be better so you can work out who's who?

who ate all the poi's?

How much of a difference will YOU make to the world today?

don't worry, you'll soon get to know everyone. It took all of about 5 minutes to get to know everyones name last time so it'll be cool. I think it's more fun if you try and guess who's who to see how close your idea of what they look like is

Let's relight this forum

or u could just go up to everyone and say hi. im looking forward to being there for more than one night this time

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?
