Manchester Spinner�s Meet up and stuff



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 http://delizium.fotopic.net/c291964.html
br>
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 .)

{ We are a nice bunch like that }



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





(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)

Ooooh!!

2 meets in the space of 2 weeks? Madness!

You'd think it was summer or something!

Okay guys. I'm probably shooting myself in the foot here. In the wake of the loss of PLAY and its many workshops I've been thinking about the meets in general. In particular the heckles directed at myself! ('Stop practicing!' being the most memorable) I love you guys and the social aspect of the meets but feel people have been kinda slack on the spinning side of things!



How would people feel if one hour out of the average 6 or so was dedicated to spinning? Nothing too formal but if people posted on here with either requests for mini workshops or offer to teach something. Whether it be the basics of a certain prop or one trick in particlar. Or even just a little jam just to get things going? Nothing too dogmatic that it takes the fun out of the meets.

For example I'd be more than willing to teach what staff stuff I do know and if more than one person wants to learn that particuar something then at least I know what to teach before I get there! On the other side of that. I'd love to learn more poi but also get to grips with juggling. A bit of hooping too. So if anyone is willing to teach me those I'd love it! Acrobalance too! I'd love a partner to learn with!

This might serve as a good icebreaker for newbies here too who feel to shy to come up to someone to ask them for help. (remember we were there once!)

Doesn't matter if it's a one-on-one or a group.

After that we can get back to poking Jen's boobs and stealing her cider!

How do people feel about that? The last thing I want to do is be an annoying know-it-all upstart but it's just a suggestion.

I'll be in my bunk...

Dunno.. I mean, I don't much like cider...

<ahem>

So who's bringing the mats for the acro stuff then? That's my only problem with what you've said...

YaY! Dave, that's an excellent idea and pretty much sums up the little back-water we've drifted into.

More playing!!

Have to say that moving to Castlefield changed things so we'll have to er... erm... oh yeah, concentrate and focus... or something

Robyn it's simple. If there's something specific you want to learn which you know someone can teach you you just put your name and what it is you want to learn in the 'WANTED' list. And if someone is willing to teach you they will put their name in the the 'OFFERED' list with your name under them! And anyone else who's interested in learning!
