Forums > Events, Performances and Gatherings > Midlands/North Sphercular HoP Day Ball @ Poi In the Park's 3rd B-day!

so here's how it started...



Home of Poi Day is an idea generated by members of this site, where for one day a year all of us can meet each other in regional locations around the world to share our love of poi. Last thing i heard, plan's for this years event were focussed around October 30th.



The Sphercular Ball is an idea independntly generated by members of Spherculism.com to celebrate 1 000 members on Spherculism by (see above). By coincidence the proposed date is also the 30th October. (also co-incidentally HOP has recently achieved 10 000 members)



Poi In the Park in Sheffield is the longest established poi meet in the UK and is soon to get a new web host which means PK can make the website even better. Sheffield would co-incidentally be the best place to hold a regional Poi meet for the midlands/north.



Bearing these facts in mind and adding together these co-incidences there can only be one outcome:



On Saturday 30th October, Poi In the Park of Poi have offered to host a HUGE poi meet at Endcliffe Park in Sheffield to celebrate the Sphercular Home of Poi Day Ball 2004!!!



Everyone's invited however good you are or wherever you come from and we want as many spinners, jugglers, acrobats etc... as possible from the surrounding Midlands/North to be there so SPREAD THE WORD!!!





the meet will probably start some time after lunch + run on as long as it does. seeing as it's halloween and a special celebration of the Poi community we should come up with lots of fun ideas of things to do like fancy dress and i reckon there should be lots and lots of cake....



So whaddya reckon? Who's coming?

Wow



sorry for the muchly delayed response guys, my bad for sure, having no net sucks big time



right, as pointed out by mister step, the train station (sheffields only one), the interchange AND Arundles Gate (stop for the megabus) are all within a minutes walk from each other and are located atthe edge of the city centre.



from the station the walk to the park is about 30 minutes, tho its nice enough to bumble along. alternatly buses can be got either from the bus interchange or from various points in town. if you do get on a bus you want it to be heading towards Eccalsale Road and Hunters Bar Roundabout. for the park or towards the university of sheffield for Harcourt Road



The other alternative is to call me, and either myself or someone equally as can come and meet yous or at least give yous some directions to meet us.



My number is o7951 o17 8o7



for those wanting to get to Harcourt Road, my suggestion is to go to the interchange and get on a number 60 bus to take you to the university of sheffield (in opposed to sheffield hallam uni) which is 5mins walk to our house. if you give me a call when you reach the university i can come meet you. you can also get the tram from sheffield station to the university!



About tents: there is room (just) for two tents in our garden tho there is a park that backs onto the house which can unofficially, if somewhat conspicuously, hold a number more.



there are a couple of spaces for ppl to crash on friday night (if sleep seems plausible to yous* and as stated there is a hall + breakfast making appliances for all who want on satuday.



the cafe in the park has made no promised to stay open till late but will do as they can to sate our drive for tea and munchibles.



did i miss anyting?



much love and delayed apologuises

OK - Here's a question...

If someone can come and pick me up in a car from Bus Station - shall I bring my 400W UV cannon for the hall so it's all pretty to spin in there?
It's too heavy for me to carry with all my other stuff...
