Summer Location: Queen Victoria gardens.
The aim is not for a solely firetwirling night, but a night whereby firetwirlers, jugglers, contact jugglers, diabolo etc can meet. So feel free to bring friends who may be interested.
Night starts at 6pm for all those who are keen to learn. Fire starts after dark 7.00 - 8ish till late!
So.... the location is Queen Victoria Gardens
St. Kilda Road – opposite 'National Gallery of VIC' (Old Arts Gallery with spire)
The grassed area near the three raised palm trees. (Look out for the bronze statue hammer thrower)
With only a 5 minute walk over the princess bridge from Flinders Street station.
Here's the map
https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...360&ie=UTF8
*WINTER LOCATION*
Under the Princess bridge (Southbank side). Where the Southbank Sundey market happens.

i have to cry. i will be in melbourne next weekend from the sunny gold coast but i leave on sunday night so i dont get a chance to come along.
Saturday night there is a performance by NICA (National Institute of Circus Arts) which i am planning on going to. I advise anyone who has an interest in circus arts to go along and be amazed.
I am moving back down, will be down early - mid january and cant wait to see y'all again.
Take care of yourselfes.

Hello everyone,
Just posting to say that Sunday was good for a first visit, I'm the guy who came with Moka and kinda quitely stood around while people made damn fools of themselves. There were plenty of fun to be had and will be looking forward to coming again soon. Hopefully I can get in a little bit of practice so I don't look like too much of a tool next time. =)

The plan is that I'll be driving down with my friends sunday, I've told them so much about this meet and the people there and they are very excited!
We'll leave that night though, so we might not be able to stay for ages, no later then 10 I think. Don't wanna be driving home really late!
I think everyone who has a drum should bring it, I'll be bringing mine. This is the last meet before Christmas. We gotta make it a good one!

Alright, i SHOULD be able to come this sunday, i didnt go last week due to my twirly friend being too buggered from work.
(he's the only one of us with a stick so i'd be reduced to watching otherwise, i'm buying one/ doubles very soon)
And about the drums, i have a drum kit (and an extra bass drum and tom), should i bring some of that?

Twas a very good night, with lots of pretty colours and nice noises, twas a great night and was good to see an awesome turnout, I have briefly looked through the previous posts but don't know whats happening in terms of Chrissy Day and Newears Day, not sure if I will be able to make either although it would be handy to know if I have awoken from my hangover/hibernation from Newears.

Last night was fantastic.
Thanks to all of you for making it what it was, it's always worth the trip down everytime
Bonnie: i'm sorry we didn't hang out much as well, but hopefully gita and I will be making it to your farewell on the 27th!
Flynty & Josh: thanks for the cuddles and smiles, it was so good to see you two again! And flynt, I be seeing you with miss gita on the 1st of Jan!
Petey: Your tricks are awesome. Everytime I come I'm greeted with your hugs and your amazing talents that just keep sky rocketing!
Brendan: It was good to see you mate! It's been a while! I hope to see you again soon!
Ezz: I love turning up to twirling and seeing your smiley giggly face. Your hooping is coming along fantasically, you make it look so easy!
Moka & Avz: It was good to finally meet you guys! Sorry I couldn't teach you many moves Adam! (I told you I wasn't that good!)
Aww, I think this calls for a group hug. I'm getting all mooshy and stuff!
Thanks again everyone! Have a merry christmas and new year, wherever you end up!
Oh and by the way, my friend Alyce has offically been corrupted...Muahaha! I'm sure you'll be seeing her again. She had a fantastic night too
