so here's how it started...
Home of Poi Day is an idea generated by members of this site, where for one day a year all of us can meet each other in regional locations around the world to share our love of poi. Last thing i heard, plan's for this years event were focussed around October 30th.
The Sphercular Ball is an idea independntly generated by members of Spherculism.com to celebrate 1 000 members on Spherculism by (see above). By coincidence the proposed date is also the 30th October. (also co-incidentally HOP has recently achieved 10 000 members)
Poi In the Park in Sheffield is the longest established poi meet in the UK and is soon to get a new web host which means PK can make the website even better. Sheffield would co-incidentally be the best place to hold a regional Poi meet for the midlands/north.
Bearing these facts in mind and adding together these co-incidences there can only be one outcome:
On Saturday 30th October, Poi In the Park of Poi have offered to host a HUGE poi meet at Endcliffe Park in Sheffield to celebrate the Sphercular Home of Poi Day Ball 2004!!! 
Everyone's invited however good you are or wherever you come from and we want as many spinners, jugglers, acrobats etc... as possible from the surrounding Midlands/North to be there so SPREAD THE WORD!!!
the meet will probably start some time after lunch + run on as long as it does. seeing as it's halloween and a special celebration of the Poi community we should come up with lots of fun ideas of things to do like fancy dress and i reckon there should be lots and lots of cake....
So whaddya reckon? Who's coming?

Surely we can hang round til 1am to meet him can't we? specially if he promises to bring lots of other soot covered spinners, fresh from entertaining the unapreciative crowds at Alton Towers, with him....

and the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught

Ooh private jet?
I didn't realise there would be a winged taxi service.
Excellent, can you come and pick me and spiral up from Batley too? Do you mind if his dog rides on the seat? It'll get scared in the cargo hold methinks....
