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)

would it be more of a "drag you into the middle of a circle of HoPpers" thing? tongue

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.

Hey guys - Little Miss Bossy here....

Joe - chill out hun, there's 5 weeks before October and all will be made clear (probably by me ubbangel - bleecch! ) closer to the time

Re: this Sunday - meet in the pub at 4 for those who want, we usually sit in the window at the big table to the left when you come in and are pretty easy to spot so just wander up and 'HoP?' in a hopeful way biggrin

For those that want to meet in the park, on the corner of platt Fields at the traffic lights, trun off Oxford Rd and walk alongside the park, you'll see an entrance just before a chruch and a short way into the park a big tree by the church - and lots of lovely spinners. weavesmiley

If you don't have anyone's mobi numbers PM me for mine that way you'll be able to find us.

Gayle and Skully . - of course you can stop at mine however Northwich isn't close to Manchester (25 miles) so drinking involves trains (last one at 11pm) or staying over - Jen says we can kip at hers tho.

meets normally start at 4 and continue till as long til the last one goes - depending on the weather and social activities ie going clubbing afterwards etc

You see, we're not very organised or very close! redface but it always comes together in the end and we'll make you welcome and have lots of fun biggrin

My home laptop is still being a git so not sure I'll be on-line this weekend, so txt me and I'll call you (company phone for another week!) if you wanna chat

Gutted, another meet missed because of the need to pay the rent.
Curse me for not being independently wealthy and having a huge house to Hop in all day. censored
Lame. angry

Hopefully going to some of the BJC so little smiles for that. meditate

Need to make a manchester meet instead of all these out-of town meets.

Lame again. mad2

I didnt do it - no one saw me do it - you cant prove anything.

Hazel - you are such a lovely spinner girl!! def gonna be learning from you next time. Great to meet you n Ree, hope you can make it a regular thing hug

Jem - it was great to see you on our patch and I do so hope we get to see more of you soon - sorry I didnt't talk to you much once I've ponged a few times i lose the will and ability to communicate frown

Osiris - get your butt down there next time, most of us are new to poi in the last year and we love helping noo peeps ubbrollsmile

Fleshbert - ditto!!

Think the next formal one is weekend of 14th/15th/ Oct and will prob be Saturday as Skully and Gayle are coming up so get it in your diaries now and if there's something already there - move it!!

Aprat from that it's the Manc invasion of Liverpool on 1st Oct....

aw, shuks. Thanks Elaine redface tho I'm pretty sure I seen you do stuff I can't so we can make with a big ol' skills share next time (that means I will be making it a regular thing biggrin)

I don't suppose anyone has an idea what time you'll start on 15th Oct? I'll be in Manc, but will have to leave early to go to my friend's hen night frown

Hopefully I'll be seeing some of you at BJC?
