Posted: How many are still around on HOP? how many are serious spinners? how many do it just for fun?
i'm looking around for people to get a kind of group together again (we had a team, but stopped due to life getting in the way and now we're bored and want a new one together)
there is 5 people within my friends that perform with us. so far events: Liquid and Envy (portsmouth) Spitbank Fort (portsmouth, on the sea :p) Breakneck (portsmouth) Contact (portsmouth) Faceparty - Errorz in Marshmallow Land (London)
team consists of (within this 5): 3x Breathers 4x Spinners 2x Grinders 2x contact fire 1x Fire eating
I wanna see some interested people posting back and i'll try and sort a night out where we can all get together and do it like once a month.
We do take safety seriously and if you dont dont bother replying (i know i don't seem like i do but the 7 years i've been spinning i've only been burnt once, that was recent).
basically we're looking for some interesting people to spin with and maybe add to the team, in a way that will benifit both parties.
look forward to your responses

Posted: Hiya
I'm southampton. you should get yourself along to my groups (flamefireshows.com) festival "Southern Lights" on this weekend in Dorset, Performances, workshops, bands and DJ's we host it each year as a way to give back to the community and make friends
Our group has 4 main Guys but we do use a couple of other performers we have:
2 predominantly staffers 2 predominantly poiers Stilt walker Firebreather also use Diabloist / Juggler Contact Ball Ladies with hoops and fans We have access to TV Street Magician and other kinds of acts.
what are you called? do you have a website? I know a couple of portsmouth spinners - Spanner, Mech etc all of a very high standard, do you know them?
A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.
