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)

OH Hazels running away thing, that sounded like fun. where is that happening? I know I wont be able to make that though, ooh I just missed it too I start work in 2 weeks if I had gotten it a month earlyer.



I'll come up for the manchester one though loki. Im not sure if ive properlly come across you loki at the manc meets, I'll have to change that so I can add you to my 'how many hoppers have you met list'.



Whos going to which, Hazels or manchester then? Im sure there will be quite a few going since the manchester meets have grown pretty big at times. It shouldnt be totally bleak

I believe Loki is organising one for the 10th Sept as the Manc meets will be 2/3 years old that weekend.
I will speak with Tobi this weekend and see if he can confirm and alter the details on the first page smile

Hey guys, sorry I've missed the last couple of meets. The summer got pretty hetic with all the moving stuffs, just a couple of weeks to go now eek if you haven't got an email about the leaving party yet, email me at the addy in my profile... and you know since it starts on fri 8th, you got plenty time to make it back to Manc for your birthday celebrations on the 10th biggrin

Anyways, dunno when or where i'll see some of you again, but i've really enjoyed meeting & chilling & spinning with you all & i promise i'll be popping back now & again so this ain't the last you seen of me hug : sunny

Cinderella and Carrot Girl, you are both more than welcome to join us next weekend.

As Lowan said above we are constantly being joined by new spinners and we welcome them with open arms.
Everyone is at varying levels with spinning and most remember what it was like when they first started spinning and attending meets so try not to feel too much like you suck, we have all been there (one or two of us still are at that level)

PM on its way regarding meet and greet as that is what I seem to do for newbies wink
