Clare

Have I been 'removed' from the list then? As I never heard that last night was still going ahead ...

I've been so busying studying most of the year and now I have the time to spare- I wasnt sure it was on as I never got any email or Text!!

Posted: 18th Oct 2006


Oops... Sorry Jen, nope, noone gets removed from the list!!

I just forgot to put you on it, since I just kindof assumed you knew about the gatherings!! Sorry missus

Y'know, we were talking about you just last night as well... wondering where you'd got to!

PM me your email addy again, and I'll stick you on there... will be good to see you again

I didn't meet Amma in Munich - but Andy did. He volunteered to help out with various duties and suchlike... I think he enjoyed it

And it was Andy who danced... of course

Are you trying to make it to Thailand this winter? I hope so

Perhaps I may be there in January or February... maybe...

Take care

Bonjourno mes amigo,

Hey, i didnt relise there was such a crew into poi and stuff in ireland at all, groovy or wat!

Hey every1, i'm from Co Louth and i'm big into my poi. Its nice to see that i'm not the only person in the whole country who likes to spin fire and do other stupid [censored] that could burn you.

So i learned poi in england when i were at uni, and now i'm back, and i'm wondering what the craic is over here? If any 1 can let me know where all you fellow poiers and jugglers meet up to spin and stuff that'd be sweet.

Wats the deal with tralee, wats happenin down there that every1 is goin on about?

Cool to meet all you guys........

peace

Posted: 26th Oct 2006
Hurrah!!

Welcome....

There are regular gatherings in Dublin and Belfast... and I think the next big meeting is Tralee Juggling Convention - at the end of November.

Come along... not sure who will be there, but there'll definitely be some :vague:

Take care

Hmmm...seeing the Killers (whoop!) on the Sunday evening, but could maybe make Fri & Sat (and maybe some of Sunday morning).
But then flying back on the weekend will push the flight prices up, will have to see.
Oh yeah, I was meant to be looking at those prices wasn't I...

Yep... but Tralee is miles and miles from Dublin... you'd have to fly from Shannon on the Sunday, probably.

Good luck finding a spinner for tonight

Ah I fianlly find my way back to home. Pain in the arse having the car robbed, even worse when the poi's were in the boot at the time. So have had to wait for new one's to arrive back for ages. That and playing/concentrating on hurling has left me very rusty to say the least.

Clare if I pm you an email addy can you let me know when the next meetings are on?? Im on a long day in work on tuesday but will hopefully make it into trinity next week and finally get to meet some of you all.

Posted: 28th Oct 2006
Well Trinity will be on from 7-10pm in Goldsmith as usual - you may find yourself attacked by killer balloon animals though - we're having a series of workshops on balloon modelling and Halloween may inspire us

Posted: 28th Oct 2006
Yep...

I don't know much about the Dublin meetings... but Dee has just told you anyways

I think the next big meeting of everyone is the Tralee juggling convention - at the end of November.

Just for an update... could we get some kind of list going about what's happening around the country?

I know what's happening up here - but where/when are the local meets in Dublin, Cork and Galway (and anywhere else that has regular meets/workshops/gatherings)?

It would be good to bring it all together, or at least, update the info that's already out there.

Gerire, sorry to hear about the car! That sucks... and added poi theivery as well. Bah.


Take care, see you sometime

well...
in galway the meets are:
tuesday at nuigalway in ArasNaMacLeinn at 5pm,
on thursday at 5pm in nuig at the bankofireland theatre,
Sunday 12-4 at the dangan sports centre.

And there shall be a multi-media Circus cabaret night in the townhall theatre in Galway on the 16th of november, along the lines of the fantasmagoria in a "same-same but different" kind of way. It is a stagecraft fundraiser event and will be followed by a night of dancing round the corner in the rowing club,
i think,

Large portions of "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

RyanAir *spit* - Shannon -> LGW around midday Sunday £42, on Saturday £15... Is it worth going for the Friday and morning of Saturday? Or rather, is it worth paying the extra to stay until (some of) Sunday?
Important question 1) What's accomodation for this?
Important question 2) Would someone be able to give me lift to Shannon airport for around Midday on the Sunday?
