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)

Yeah, if you can't make it strugz we MIGHT be able to go during the day then come back for about 9 or 10ish

But DO come to the Manchester meet the day after if you can. If only for a few hours (Might even go there earlier to accommodate you!)

yeah strugz, you guys come manc after, but then again, depending on these guys theres a few scenarios:

a) you guys come here on the sun
b)you guys come on sat after the meet to monster monster then the meet on sun tongue
c)we go there sat, but get back for monster then the meet
d)we go there sat, then back for the meet sun

Not too late to change your ticket (albiet with a charge of £5 - but then again I'm guessing after PLAY that cash will be short on the ground... biggrin )

Hmmmm, not been to Leeds for a while... a day trip might be in order...

Argh! just posted the question to that answer in the Leeds thread!

Sounds like a plan! Although I have work for a couple of from 8am that day frown

Need to learn more stuff with the doubles! So I'm guessing Leeds it is then... (as well as witness the 8th Wonder of the World that is Meg's hair...)

i'm sure we could probably organise a meet for when you come down, i don't think the manchester spinners would mind another reason to meet up for a spin ubbrollsmile

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.

strugz, do you really think a charge of £5 for changing your ticket is much when you get to come to a manc meet biggrin wink

and i agree with dave, would be cool to see you soton peeps when we go visit brighton etc
