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)

The small mousey one is Wild Child smile - but probably better ercognised as the old one shrug ubblol

And Gayle, we know where you live, if we can't have him no-one can! Mwahaahaa

I'm at a wedding in Wales on Sat night and staying there, so not sure what time I'll be back or how I'm getting up - possibly train, unless you're picking up Mr C and could pick me up on your way thru Pete?

So, let's collect all this together:

Sunday 7th October, at that amphitheatre/grassy bit by the canal (Castlefield near the Museum of Science and Industry), 3pm onwards.

Plus, Holly makes a good point - are all you guys still wanting to turn up despite the Manchester juggling convention on Saturday?

I might come on Saturday, but it's 2 buses and by the time I get there I'll probably have to leave for work, so it's unlikely. I WILL be there on sunday though (although I have to leave at 7pm ish)

PiP looks pretty interesting! Imagine all those fire spinners sleeping in the same room! Imagine all the mischief we can get up to!

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

I don't think I'll be coming to this one. Unlikely at least. I'll see how it goes.

It was a shame that there were more Stoke and Yorkshire spinners than Manchester spinners at the Manchester Juggling convention, but was still a good weekend smile

I agree, it was a great convention, I met a couple of new hoppers (well, old hoppers in the case of Dave, but new to me as I hadn't met them before), and I learnt a lot of new and useful stuff. So there tongue
