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)

gutted, its seriously looking like I'm not going to make this, got a review tomorrow, which I only found out about a couple of days ago, and I have a ton of work to do. I thought that I would be able to finish it on time, but its 2.30, and I still have a load I can do before I can even think about setting off. Sorry guys, I really want to come...

Was a good meet tonight! So good to see everyone. Haven't seen you guys for so long! And welcome to the newbies! The two new Irish gals were so hot! Their accent make me go weak in the knee. tongue

Why let your body be a temple? When it can be a theme park?

i totally agree tongue

and while we're on the topic, the next meet, when are peoples free for it etc...?

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.

REALLY REALLY sorry Balti! Most of us either were recovering from an excellent but gruelling night out at Pangaea the night before and some people don't arrive till 6! Seye and I were shocked to find we were the first ones there and we arrived at 4!

Sorry again frown hug hope that hasn't put you off!

That's kinda why I gave you my number on myspace incase something like this happens.

The blonde pudgy kid and the pretending-not-to-be-gay nurse kid said I had to post the dates of chelly's visit. Neither of them said that they weren't going to bother coming online nor that you can't organise another meet in the meantime....
