Posted:2nd Nov 2005Monday is the Birmingham University Juggling society, which I believe is indoors from 5-7pm. As I finish in Coventry at 5 I can't go to that frown

I'm sure Ros or someone will be a lot more accurate and useful that I when they next reply.

Sunday is Selly Park in Selly Oak where fire is spun providing the weather allows, I believe there is a car park within walking distance that someone (maybe sandy) knows about that can be used to hide from the rain if it appears. Selly Oak station is only a few minutes from the park.

Posted:2nd Nov 2005Having a job will make the monday's diffcult, but not impossible. Do you guys mind non-uni types joining in?

Sundays are easier for me. What time do you guys/gals meet?

Spinning inside isn't a problem when you have hyperlights wink

Posted:2nd Nov 2005How long does the firework fun go on for? Damn trains not running at all hours to get me home.

Eccles, I'm going to go on the Saturday, then head home that night to go to Birmingham Sunday. At least thats the current plan I may end up there both days.

Posted:3rd Nov 2005Yea Eccles thats the plan.
Meet in joes at 6.30 wander down to vale bout 7ish i guess then spin till the fireworks start.
Then the fun fair runs till about 11 (well it did last year anyway)
All are welcome cos circus soc doesnt discriminate about wheather your at the uni or not, im not and ive been going for about a year on and off.
Anyone who can make it down for circus on monday (5-7) should come its renegade and thats always a laugh and then there is some kind of social thing after (pub, bowling, shouting at cars dunno what yet).
I should be there this sunday but i will be hung over, im partying in bristol fri then my sis is having a party down the road on sat so i prob wont be in the best state.
