But the centre isn't available, that's why we go to
the field. And even if it stops raining, the jugglers
don't like getting their balls wet

~peace is a fire~

aaaahhhh, I thoghut it was just a choice to get out in the open air as the weather should have been better, I didn't realise ....

I'm up for getting wet then

oh, do ppl still pay when it's not at the centre? or will I just need the �2 I owe for last week

I'm sure Malcolm will be quite happy to accept
money for standing in a field. If not, you can
give it to me instead

lol, yeah well some groups are like that, especially if they're bringing equipment/offering instruction, had to ask

was fun for a bit anyway, K__'s firefly's are lovely, shame it did end up getting SO stupidly wet.

really hope you have an awesome time at the EJC, I'll miss you on sun&wed as I start to panik about my own trip

It was quite nice juggling under the trees, very refreshing
after all this heat.

Don't panik about your trip. Pay attention to what is going
on right now - that way you'll at least have some practice
for when you really need to be doing that

As long as you don't break out into poi moves in the middle
of the karate I'm sure you'll do fine

all the best

They're all the same anyway, eg I taught a friend of mine the 3 beat weave last weekend showing her how it was the same as a move called mawashi-uke (translates as 'round or circular block' I think)

Next meeting : Sunday 9th, crest of the hill in Southparks, I'll be there from 7pm till late, turn up whenever

doh, I didn't get there till well after 9pm (problems moving house), and I was giving K__ a lift too, sorry if I missed anyone :-/



Span till after 11, then bailed as the others had to go & and it was getting freezing.



We've borged a new Chris though who has many wonderful glow things.

Mick my lovely, hows the new rope dart working? is it chain or rope? I love mine, ive got that move you showed me almost down now, 4 out of 5 times I need some more inspiration! I'll be back in oxford in 3 weeks for the weekend while i move into my house so if we can all meet up on the saturday that would be wicked as i have to be at work on monday

Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

Well its rope, and has a small monkey fist at the er, handle end and a big monkey fist at the business end - in which
is a small monkey fist in which is a knot.

As you can imagine this takes up a lot of rope, and the 10m I bought (minus 2 lengths for rope poi) have left me with
a rather piddly rope dart... Too short for that trick we both like.

I shall look at it as monkey fist practice!

In other news I can do continuous poi throws and working on solid back crosses. There's a tremendous variety of
throws, I could spend all my time learning this instead of any more poi stuff.

I will buy more rope today. Lots of it! I figure that just before the exit from 'our' move you could go into a neck wrap..

See you in 3 weeks! happy spinning (and wip catching and..)

~peace is a fire~

Aww 'our' move

Ive found an extension of that move, in which it wraps around the 'first' arm again and comes out really nicely, and also one that i only managed once but looked and felt sooo lovely i will try to do it again. It's the same entry but turning more and it comes out above the head and into a wrap on the opposite arm, very odd but very nice neck wrap sounds fun, i shall experiment. My hair tends to make neck wraps feel a bit weird

Chutney, yes, i shall be in oxford around the 12th August so a big fiery meet would be luverly, bring Mr Hyperlight

Aim high and you'll know your limits, aim low and you'll never know how high you could have climbed.

blimey! i go away for 3 months and look what happens! regular oxford meets happens! excellent! shall be joining you guys as much as i can (can hardly afford bus fairs at mo :S) if thats OK. looking forward to it
