Hey, How you all doing - I was at Dpercussion last weekend and hooked up with some incredible people. I spent a good 2 hours watching impossible feats weavesmiley I scored my first Poi lessen courtesy of Zoe and a blinding set from the stanton warriors.

As a result of that meeting everyhting seems different now and I am posting on a poi forum and recovering from my first earth shattering wipeout with poi. I never realised such a pretty little thing could cause so much pain when it connects with the soft fleshy parts.

I found this site and was wondering if anyone here was there?


I've got all the eagerness of a kid with a new toy, > I work crazy little shifts and am looking forward to 4 days off now and was wondering if anyone had plans to hook up in town this week/end?

Apparently its going to be the hottest day of the year so far on friday.....

At a guess try pming a guy on here called millhouse, i think his hop name is currently house_of_mill, other manchester hoppers include liquid_bubblegum, Cantus, Wild Child, Havokist, and many more they may have been there, except cantus, dont ask me why

Hi Mikey Boy, welcome to HoP

As Will says, there's a thread on Events called Manchester Spinniers meet or some such drivel ( wink Tobi). Keep your eye on that and sooner or later we'll make a decisions about when we're meeting next...

Next one I think is probably Sat 27th, in Platt Field Park, we usually meet up 4ish.

However, if you're dead fired up , get yourself to playfestival.co.uk in Shrewsbury next weekend 19th-21st. On the Manc thread they'll be talking about it and there's a few going by train from there if you wanna join 'em. It's gonna be great and you'll see HoPpers in their natural habitat, if you're ready for that! eek ubblol

hope to see you soon hug

Hi-de-hi wave

Yes go to the events section on the forum and leave a little post under the manchester meets, theres also an invasion of england wich Skulduggery is trying to arrange and she wants it around manchester because of the easy transport links, skip to page 48 and 49 to get the relavent stuff, and dont forget to post an introduction thread under introductions.

Nice one thanks for the warm welcome,
I took your advice and have now booked tickets for the playfestival. I'm going to buy a tent tomorrow.

I'll "try pming a guy on here called millhouse, i think his hop name is currently house_of_mill, "

Thanks for that Willy.

Hey Mike I were at D went home kinda earlyish like you probably met Sam and Mike two guys doing staff with bright UV paint on them there were actually quite a few spinners there shame there wasnt more room to spin?

Did you meet the girl who was good with Devil Stix? I was so keen to see her tricks but she left as I arrived from a beer mission!

D was actually the place i met my first other spinner Barr my mates, a dude called Raj he's a top guy spins in sheffield a lot


How are you getting to Play Mikey? If your training it you should meet up with the other Manc people?

There were lotsa people there - I'm terrible with names and only moderatly better with faces ooooops. I was a full on poi virgin until I was offered a pair of socks by Rick????, and like I say was very kindly taken under the wing of zoe and I think martin was her boyfriends name - other than that no idea who was who. I didnt see anyone with devil stix, unfortunatly. I was a bit awestruck to be honest and stood with my mouth open in complete awe, on hindsight I should have said hello wave to more people.

But thats all to be rectified here and at play hopefully.
I'm getting to play by driving, I've talked a couple of friends into coming with me one of whom doesnt finish work till 6 so my first mission of the festival is to get there and get my tent up before it goes dark.

Hopefully though we can meet up in there, is there a particular place your going to be or is it the normal ... around somewhere?

I cant really express how excited I am about it, I went tent shopping today and had my ear chewed off by an over eager salesman who gave me tent 101 for idiots. It was all very heplful but I still am no closer to owning a tent redface I'm sure itll all work out for the best though.

Take it easy and see you all at play hopefully sunny

The guy who runs Monster Monster is organising it so he told me to spread the word and I offered to do it here.

Looks like they may not be necessary biggrin

I won't make it as I'll be down south visiting people and going to Brighton Pride and hopefully go to more meets...

Have fun guys!

Cool! Would be sweet seeing the Manchester crowd. I was meant to go to the meet last Sunday but my friend's birthday was yesterday so I went to that instead. Do you know if fire is allowed? Can you PM me your number? I don't seem to be able to find it for some reason. redface

Thats cool dude - PM on its way smile

I doubt that we'll be allowed fire in the arena's but its round the corner from the gasworks. You could easily park somewhere near there and leave the fuel in the car for later biggrin

I'll be taking many glowing things just in case wink

I doubt you will be able to get parking tho. I was there last year and the place was packed! And if I do fire, I won't be able to get twisted. tongue
