Posted:Hi there!
I'm new to Poi and to the site and I'm so glad to find so many spinners around!
By the way, does anybody know where I could get poi lessons? I live just out Swansea.

And I have just found the details of the one you mention: Swansea Juggling & Circus Arts, in Townhill Community Centre, isn't it? There is a phone number so I'll try next week.
Yes, i've seen the lessons here, I even have the dvd! It's just not that easy when you're on your own, I get stuck on the easiest thing and I don't know how to sort it out. Yeah well, you're right everybody started somewhere, i might come along, when and where are you guys meeting?

Heya again.... I have returned after a very long hiatus. My poi skills are no better. I couldn't find anyone to spin with, so I got a bit disheartened - Plus I lost my fave set of poi. ! I am still looking for them. grrr...
I am renewing my will to spin. I got a lovely set of flags, and would like to not look like an idiot. - Incentive or what?
I know no one missed me because I wasn't around all that long before.... but whats been happening?

Posted:We will have Pineapple Pete staying with us soon. Not sure exactly what days yet but it would be nice to go to the beach and have a bit of a meet up to show him how fab Wales is.
Feed me Chocolate!!! Feed me NOW!
Posted:Hi. Just wondering if there is anyone in the carmarthen area that would be interested in meeting up for a spin?
I'm based between Llandovery and Llandeilo, and I'm looking for something to ease the boredom of being home from university for the summer, and to meet new people interested in the same things!
I use fire poi, fire fans, can fire breathe pretty competently, and am interested in learning staff.
I'm home for most of the summer, appart from when I'm off down to GLADE festival, out of interest is anyone else from this area of wales going ?

Posted:Wason's in Penarth is the cheapest I've found so far at 3.50 for a gallon tub. You shouldn't have to pay more than 6.00 anywhere!
I'd LOVE to meet up with anyone to swap tips & tricks -weekday evenings would be the best for me, ideally Cardiff but I'll come as far as Swansea if there's a beer at the end! Email me at "pete at gritstone dot com" if you want to organize something.

Posted:Pete in your profile page it says "And I'm absolutely not an axe murderer". Now to me that sounds a little worrying... you may not fit in with the rest of us, as Axe murder is only second to poi/hoop spinning in our list of hobbies.

Posted:Hey everyone!
Ti'n iawn?!
Just wondering if anyone is close to the North-West area of Wales?
I'm in that area, specifically Llandudno.
There are circus workshops that do Poi in the Colwyn Bay area, and Prestatyn too, and I was just wondering if there was anyone in the area who fancied coming down and giving it a try, and maybe teaching me a few things while you're at it haha...
Anyway. Yeah.
Let me know =]

Hoping to get down to Cardiff this evening for a few Poi tips. Been trying to get there but with the nicer weather, nothing feels like a chore
I'm taking my poi to work now and it's good to do something active after sitting at a desk. Migh look a bit odd poi-ing in a suit and high heels, but, see if I care!!!!!
