Ok so after have the chance to get up to Uberstaff and meet all the loverly Irish folk that went, ive decided that they are all so nice that they should be visited very soon.



If not only to steal more staff trix wink



So far they have kindly offerd places to stay, but are not sure on numbers but we are all grown ups and ive started this here so we can be a little organised.



Im thinking the weekend of the 17th June we fly over and come back on the Monday , then we can have much harcore spinnage on sat and sunday along with much tea drinking and doobie making smile



Call it a tribute to Uberstaff cool



So what i would like to know is who in ireland can make it to Dublin that weekend, and who in the Uk wants to come with me biggrin



So far the list of the UK attacking team is:



Frodo

2bags

Strugz

Dunc (in spirit)

Birgit

MCP

Skully

Vixen

Nate



So any other takers? flying from gatwick return will be max £40 if we book in next few weeks! smile the earlier we can decide the cheaper it will be!



Let the dissciussion begin weavesmiley

Thank you all for such an amazing weekend! that was fecking class smile
Hope all ye UK spinnificators will be making it back over for visits soon, [Old link] is happening on july the 9th, and hopefully the cork juggling convention some time this autumn.


Nice one Lisa for the weekend, in case adian didn't give you a big hug from me hug

Cheers Garthy for lovely antispin inspirations smile

Hope to be sickened further at uberpoi, Nate

Roz that has to be some of the most beautiful spinning I've seen, I think camerons "four yin yangs kicking the shite out of each other" discribes it well enough biggrin

Delightful to see ye again Cameron and Simon, ye crazy bastards smile when you coming for visits to west cork?

Jon it was class to watch you play with the poi, a lovely funky style

Did anyone manage to get footage of the firespinning with lightning all around? that was madness!

nice one to all, that was class

biggrin

Oh strugz, nice one for getting that ball rolling! And you know your staff spinny shinyness wasn't too bad either eek
see ye later

This morning I sat on a hillside watching the solstice sun rise, surrounded by happy people, and kept expecting to bump into some remnants of the invasion. Then I realized I'm not there any more - so no Irish spinners likely to be wandering amongst the stones. *sigh*.

Ah well - *nursing Ireland withdrawal symptoms*

Ronan - ubblove - words will not even come close. hug

Anyone wanting copies of pics please pm me a postal address and I will happily put them on a CD for you smile

Two Bags, cheers for the five ball juggling antics...

Garthy, your american Pie socks do MAzing wonderful things, And you can be Proud for Introducing the word "Caning" (as in nailing the chemicals and booze) into common usage in Ireland.
