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)

ubblol Says the guy who spins fire around his head for kicks...

But yea I agree, far too many idiots who see pretty things spinning and don't know whether they should break them or steal them.

This must have been when I tried to go home people gave me things to smoke and I decided I was having to much fun to go home, so I walked all the way back to the gasworks.

Bleah, I have pizza here anyway.

Yea, the devilsticks were well trippy. Never seen that done with fire before.

Might bring my little brother down soon, he does diablo. He's only 12 but he can do some pretty funky tricks.

he could probably learn a lot from the two diablo-ists, never managed to catch names though... but maybe thats because the didn't throw it...

When's the next one?
Me, Siy and Jayy have been out near Siy's doing poi and staff today. I'm sort of getting the hang of staff a bit and my poi is getting much better so i'm happy! Went to the Zoo last night, well good nite! Didn't go to the "after-party" thing though, me and Siy were knackered and skint, so we walked back to his in Salford, had some hot chocolate and got a good nite's sleep! Getting too old for this [censored]...
