Well, in addition to [Old link] there is now going to be a new weekly meeting in Guildford.
Every Sunday, from 2 - 6pm in the Stoke Pub back room.
Happy Thursdays are still going to run and will be the "fire night" or, if it's raining, the "pub night"
The Sunday Sessions are more practise orientated- as it's difficult to practise and impossible to teach/learn in the dark and not particularly fun in the rain
The plan is to have fairly regular workshops teaching everything from the basics to the not-so-basics - so any volunteer teachers, step forward
We're looking for as much variety as possible inside, hopefully will get some jugglers (ewwwww
), devil-stickers, diaboloists etc. down.Entrance fee is £3 which covers renting the back-room.
The first one will be Sunday, November the 7th and then hopefully it will be every week. At the moment, I'm thinking this might just be for the Autumn-Winter period, but if it's popular (and the pub are fine with it) it could stay
Hope to see some of you there

From Egham?
Probably driving, but I don't know too much about that sort of thing...
Otherwise, get the train to guildford. exit the station and turn right. go under the subway. keep walking round the big building, until you see the canal. Walk along the canal until you come to a pub called the white house. walk down the narrow road next to it until you get to a carpark and the brittania pub. on the canal side of the car park there is a bridge. Cross it, and look to your right for spinners.

OK, bringing this thread back from the dead!! a.k.a. Page 6 of Events and Gatherings... Super Sundays at the Stoke are being resumed, as of this Sunday (4/12/05).
4pm start, so come one, come all. It's going to be a measly 3 pounds a head again for the use of the room. And rumour has it they've even put Christmas decorations up, just for us!

we pretty much just meet down the pub on thurs now as the weathers so poo. but sundays are really cool an much warmer. i'd forgotten how good that room was... it's got a mirror ball an the decorations are alreay up!
it's in the back room of the stoke pub by the car park. the stoke pub is the one by the railway bridge on the way out to guildford college from town. it's really easy to find if you just head out of town from rsvp/ avatar comics/ the road near time nightclub, where north street meets the high street. you can always just gimmie a call if you get lost along the way...
strugz an frodo, we'll be expecting a visit as soon as your ready, would be wicked to see you both!

Hmmm... Is there a sunday session lanned for New years day? or will the Stoke be unavailable?
Some contact Trickswapping (both ball and Stick) would be Fantastic with Len and Dub...

wicked night last night... good to see david and ant again, and everybody else that turned up!
unfortunately it looks like we're gonna have to take a bit of a break for the next 3 weeks over the festive period as the room's booked up the week before xmas, then we've got christmas day and new years eve...
but we'll definately be back the week after to bring in the new year Burnt Toast styliee!!
in the meantime we'll still be meeting for socials on thursday an i'll be heading up to spitz every tuesday if anyone wants to tag along...
either way take care of yourselves till next time!

Hahahaha! OK, I promise I will get off my lazy ass in the new year and come.
But can't make tonight..Should be around on Thurs for a Christmas spin if you guys fancy it! We could even break the new Thursday mould and spin some fire, rather than play poker, for a change!!
PS. Great work on downloading the Burnt Toast email -- I couldn't get it to work...

Ed: Would definitely be up for a spin this Sunday, but it all kinda depends where I find myself waking up on new years day...! Have u still got our numbers?? Probably best to sort it out on Sunday!
Lavatwilight: LOL! we haven't actually got a bouncer working the door as such...
It's more of a pint glass that people toss a few quid into on their way out. You have a point: paying to play with ur own toys sucks, but then we're pretty grateful to have our own part of the pub; where we can plug in a UV cannon; and use their sound system to put on whatever brand of filthy music tickles our fancy. The first Sunday back in the pub should be the 8th: hope you can make it!
Happy New Years people!
