SATUADAY 12TH NOVEMBER 2005

ENDCLIFFE VALE PARK, HUNTERS BAR, SHEFFIELD



To celebrate Poi in the Parks birthday we would like to invite you all to come and join us for a weekend of misadventure in the crazy picski land of sheffield once more.



First and foremost i'd like to apologise for the huge delay in getting this even finalised it has been an incredibly complex, hair-pulling, knicker twisting (,cake eating) time in sorting out but we reckon we are now in a position to set up the best time we can hold for all you lovely people to come and enjoy!



PIP will be on satuaday in endcliffe park, entrance on hunters bar roundabout (off the A625). Starting at 3PM and finishing at last-man-standing



As with last year, we should have St Andrews Church hall booked from 7(ish) for indoor fun, walmth, tea and cake - hurrah.

The hall should be avalible over night with heating, kitchen and toliets, they church holders ask us to keep it clean.

(note: this is where we run the teapots circus society meets so there is laodsa room and plenty of hieght for juggling)



- New for this year: we are hoping to get a nice sound system set up for the evenin (either at the hall, or at our house) and enough UV in the back room to make all you techno hippies glow! [Durbs, you gonna come play? and with your funkin' cannon?]



The hall can sleep up to 60 peeps if y'all feelin nice and cozy. however there are a few things to note:

1) there is NO smoking inside the building, though outside the front and in the courtyard is fine.

2) there can be no fire spinning on the grounds - their rule guys

3) we'll proberly get evicted at around 8.30 am for the sunday school



BUT!!! and as some of youy may remember from last year. . . the party will not stop there:



for those who wish to carry on grrovin/spinning/other miscellanious nighttime activities we will be moving the fun to crookes valley park (behind the university of sheffield) which is 10mins walk from the hall to spin, drink some beers and hope not to full in the lake!



- our house, as well as some other teapot member's back onto this park so there will be walmth and tea and good company if it start to get cold.



Alternate places to crash:



we can sleep about 20 people at ours and the other guys on the teapot committe say they have room between 5-10 people each depending, so no worries for places to crash you are all welcome (though of course ours will have the best cake )

Also Step has offered a couple of places for those who may want somewhere quite to crash out.



Sunday will be a "see how it goes" kinda thang though crooke valley park (and its containing pub) would probably be the best bet as it means people can store their gear at ours.



Also NEW to this year (drumroll please . . . )



SPITLEFIELDS, Londons Tuesday meet up, organiser, the illustrious Monsieur Spacemokey (Ewan) is getting involved in helping you southen-bound monkeys up to play and enjoy the festivities!



Ewan is hoping to use some of the spitz account to hire a minibus/coach/paying for trainfares to get you crazy cats up here.



- in note, however, midland mainline have a current promotion on for �6 single tickets between london and sheffield, so it still wont be an expensive trip up.



Last but not least:



i just need to say, at the moment the hall is not garentteed though i hope to know in the next week whether we can have it or not, if not i will look for another big space for people to stay.



also, if you are coming up could you please let me me know who you are and whether you need somewhere to stay so as to help make this event go smoothly.



if your coming up from the south and are interested in the kindly offer of possibly FREE travel with the Spitz-O-Mobile please get hold of Ewan as soon as poss. so he knows how any spaces to book for.



you can get hold of:

Me (Lolli), by PM or on o7966 77 4854;

Solace, by PM or on o77o8 653 491;

Ewan, by PM (dubiously, lol) or on o7779 322 530



any feedback or ideas would be welcome, we just want to get something groovin' going on for everyone to enjoy. the only thing to bare in mind is that if the date need moving, sheffield winters get cold and rainy and it will soon be too bad for outdoor spinning!



other information/updates/maps extra will be posted here or on the teapots forum:



Teapots homepage







hope to see y'all very soon and smilin

much love



Lolli and Solace. xx

Hey Y'all

the church is on Hangover way (slightly appropiate, no?)
This link should show you where, its just under where Wilkinson Lane is

Teapots hall- St Andrews Reformed Church

concerning rubbish, there will be a butt-bin for dirty smokers, it is important that all fag-ends are cleaned up (as this is an issue we already have with teapots) there are recycle bins for cans and paper and normal refuse bins too.

we will have to have the hall spankly for 9.30am and vacate it at 10am so please chuck your rubbish out at the end

The park in on hunters bar roundabout, at the end of ecclesalle road (A625)
when you enter the park from there, you need to walk through the first bit, past queen Vic, till you get to the main playing field. on the right you'll see the cafe in the park, BUT before that you should see a bunch of hippies spinning by a frog-ona-log . . you'll see !
on the map, its the space above that damnable red ring.

Endcliffe Park

The park and hall are a 15(ish) min walk from each other.

if people are arriving at similar times both on friday and on sat we can organise getting people down to sheffield station to meet yous

Alternatively you can get the 289, 213, 0r the 47 bus from the sheffield interchange centre (next to the station)

we still have space at ours too if wanted.

hope this has helped,

oh yeah, after crazy nights at Plump DJ's and squarepusher, and a manic day on sat there are also a couple of houseparties on sat night for those who like to party daft am away.

Thanx to all those coming, i cant wait, it should be AMAZING, hurrah!
Also this is my last time organising a PIP so am so glad to have you crazy cats celebrating it

Lolli xxx

PS Long_Time_Coming, shisha should be ok, though we'll see whether it'll be aright for the hall, your welcome to bring it to ours though we also have some mixed apple Bac to add to your collection if you want it

Appropriate, but not entirely accurate



It's Hanover Way (I mention this to ease frustration for anyone using an A/Z).

majic tricks is good with me. anyway, i wouldn't worry, most of us can't juggle very well and i suspect a lot of peeps will be a bit worse for wear as usual after fri night so i don't spose anyone will notice what's goin on... besides anything you wanna learn just ask somone an i'm sure they'll teach you!
