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)

'ello, just popping in to say I'm a longterm staff spinner who moved here from Cornwall in March and hasn't found many open places to happily set fire to myself yet!

Am all over the place working festivals this summer but will keep an eye out for fire/spinner meets!

Sure why not? It's been a while since I've spoken to his bare arse in a Gollum voice. It'd be nice to catch up. With Rob too. If I do I'll probably get to Manc around 7ish.

Ey up folks, sorry I've been quiet and missing from meets for the past few. Been moving house and all sorts of stuff.

Anyway, what I meant to say was A) I'll definitely try and get to the next few, and B) there's a PANGAEA night on at Manchester SU on June 7th - people were saying that was an amazing night and I spotted the poster last night. Ticket places might be limited by the refurbishment apparently.

Hope all well with you folks, miss y'all biggrin

oOo

The more meets the better.

Anyone after my number for when I return to the UK just send me a PM and I will reply with my new number. I should, however, still have a large percentage of numbers and will be contacting everyone in due course after my return.

Elaine, will pm you about details of meeting Rob. Would be cool to catch up with him again, not seen him since Jan.

Ok, so I inderstand so far that the next meet is June 3rd. Can someone tell me where and what time?

This thread is far to long for someone who's had as much wine as myself to wade through looking for wee small details.

And pweeze don't foget we want to meet up on Wed 30th as Rob Firenix is over just for the night.

he'll prob just be happy to meet a few peeps n have a beer, but as he's probably the best spinner ever to grace us with his presence I reckon we should take advantage of that, at least for an hour or so before imbibing - whaddya reckon? biggrin

I won't be making the mini-spin on 27th, but will def be up for 3rd

Despite living in Preston I'll probably get to Manchester for about 7pm on the 30th? Earlier - more spin time?



I've also checked the weather for Sunday 27th. Supposed to be p*ssing it down so probably gonna give that a miss and focus on the 3rd where EVERYONE is coming!



P.S. There is a Full Moon Firegathering in Preston from 8pm on the 1st June. You'd be surprised at the level of spinning and be blown away by the turnout!!
