Summer Location: Queen Victoria gardens.



The aim is not for a solely firetwirling night, but a night whereby firetwirlers, jugglers, contact jugglers, diabolo etc can meet. So feel free to bring friends who may be interested.

Night starts at 6pm for all those who are keen to learn. Fire starts after dark 7.00 - 8ish till late!



So.... the location is Queen Victoria Gardens

St. Kilda Road – opposite 'National Gallery of VIC' (Old Arts Gallery with spire)

The grassed area near the three raised palm trees. (Look out for the bronze statue hammer thrower)

With only a 5 minute walk over the princess bridge from Flinders Street station.

Here's the map

*WINTER LOCATION*

Under the Princess bridge (Southbank side). Where the Southbank Sundey market happens.

Awesome, I'm looking forward to putting names to faces (hopefully!)

The circus stuff in fed square, I think that's more on the acrobatics than twirling side, but might be worth looking at anyway. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a pyrotechnics display further along the river?

Kupo!

T'was definately fun, despite there only being a few of us! I'm looking forward to next week's Sunday too.

Assuming I don't have work on Thursday/Friday, I'll endeavour to make at least one of the Wed/Thurs nights this week as well.

Kupo!

It was nice to meet everyone too - I'll try and incorperate more acrobatics into my routine in the future.

On a semi-related note, how do you get to the Thursday meet from Flinders?

Kupo!

uhm, there *is* a tram that goes there, from swanston st. i believe, not sure which one though hug

archie: there's some good twirling to be seen, but if you're expecting a big fire show you may be slightly disapointed as many of us choose to practice more. on the otherhand.. we are a friendly bunch of people smile

hug

I probably won't be around either, this week/ends looking to be extremely chaotic. Once I know whats going on when, hopefully I'll pop round for as long as i can.

Archie, Sunday nights are fun! I've only been to one, but even though we're practising its still a good show, and everyone's really nice as well.

Kupo!

I've been away for the past four Easters in a row, it's kind of a tradition now. Hence, I'll try to be there myself. Also, I realised today that Palm Sunday is also April Fools Day. Whoo!

What happened with everyone last night? There was maybe five of us or so, I thought more people would show.

Anyways, good to meet Archie, and always looking forward to meeting everyone else, though I won't be there on Wednesday because of an anniversary hug

Kupo!
