juggle weavesmiley Manchester Spinner’s Meet up and stuff weavesmiley juggle



Hi all If you are looking for people to spin poi with in the North west this is the place to be.



For any one new to this sight DON’T READ THE WHOLE THREAD it has been going a long time and contains lots of old information and chat about previous meet ups and organisation stuff just go to the last few posts to find out the most up-to-date information on current events.



First a bit of info the Manchester spinners lot is no professional spinning troop or organised events it is just a group of people who get together to enjoy themselves. The first meet up was organised way beck in September 04 https://delizium.fotopic.net/c291964.html

The crowd has changed a bit from back then but we have kept a few old timers we welcome all along to come and join us for a spin whether you be experienced or a complete beginner we are willing to teach and learn from you.



Their is no set time for the meet ups they are usually organised around when people can make it and how long they can stay.



I will try to update this first post as often as I can with the most up-to-date info on meet ups and club nights that allow spinning but if I'm being a bit lax just find the last few posts foe up-to-date info (like I said before weren’t you paying attention)



To date the standard meets have gone as meet up in Piccadilly gardens at 4pm (nice central point where every one can get to) Then move on down to the Gas Works/CastleField or Plat fields Park depending on the wether till everyone gets to cold/tired/burned then on to the pub

( anybody who doesn’t know where this is it can be arranged for someone to come meet you at the train station or wherever you are coming from .) smile

{ ubblove We are a nice bunch like that ubblove}



Accommodation for a night can usually be arranged but you need to sort this well in advance no just turning up expecting somewhere to sleep eek





(more to be added and all to be spell checked soon)



pm me any info you would like to add

before i met those lot i thought they'd be a bunch of dreadlocked hippies that smoked, set things on fire ,and drank a lot of tea but then when i met them....oh wait (PyroWill)

Well, my fingers have defrosted enough to type now, so.. jolly good to meet you all, hopefully by next time I will have bought a flask.

And with any luck it'll be warmer, so I'll stop whinging about the weather. biggrin

Ah, but in my more recent experience, it's usually an accidental detour over some traffic cones or through the wall of a pub ooooops eek

I remember when Pete Airlines was safe... Now the prospect of a journey would have Rain Man beating himself about the head and screaming in the Terminal for hours wink

Meh

Rainman would probably want to fir Air Cuantus... Statistically fewer accidents... Mainly because there are no services and the pilots tend to hitch with Pete Airlines or EasyElaine tongue

Glad to see the cold isn't putting anyone off the meets (says the guy who left the country to avoid the winter! redface)

I've done it again... frown

I think I may have to set a reminder or write it on my ceiling or something tongue

would saturday the 29th or sunday 30th seem a probable time to hold a meet? or maybe even move it nearer a week and go for the 22nd or the 23rd?

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

Sat 29th, Sun 30th = BJC

So, not great weekend.

(also it will be my birthday tongue )

Live like there is no tomorrow,
dance like nobody is watching
and hula hoop like wiggling will save the world.

22nd 23rd then, cos interrupting BJC is a bad idea, even though I'm not going. Cos its expensive.
