i am trying to get a fire night next weekend saturday 8th january 2005.
all spectators welcome and performers of all kinds welcome
starts at 7pm on castle fields in southsea. may be moved depending on police attendence.
create own posters if you wish and post them over portsmouth (the more public the better eg. commercial road etc.). if you do the information must contain: Starts at 7pm on sat 8th january 2005, on castle fields in southsea all performers welcome fire performers most of all.
if interested add me to msn and say there or e-mail me at dan_evans_666@hotmail.com ! DO NOT PUT MY NUMBERS ON POSTERS. as this meet has not been cleared with Portsmouth City Council. if you are unsure where Castle Fields is in southsea just head towards portsmouth pyramids and when you are in front of it go to your right and look for a large crowd or people playing with fire.
*all fire performers, perform at your own risk.
Either no one has yet been in contact with me apart from the underneath. so non are confirmed apart from myself, wire_me_up, Atua-Tuakana, and a few people from https://www.soton-firespinning.co.uk
so if interested contact me asap (texts are acceptable) anyway apart from ringing me.

I'll try and attend!
Portsmouth is my home town and I'll be there at the weekend.
Actually, I'm amazed to see that there's not just one but two Pompey folk on this thread already!
Good luck with it anyway.

I thought long about this, and regretfully will no longer be attending, serious concerns about safety and lack of co-operation with the portsmouth council and police etc.

Hey dude - to be honest what do the police know about fire spinning!!?
More to the point - what do you........... as i consider myself to be pretty "safe" with a staff but id certanly suggest more than 1 poxy meter!!
At least 4.
Also i remember the gardens, would it not just be better for all of us to move the whole thing onto the beach?
Just a suggestion.
See you 2moz

True, it was a different night. Shame the interaction wasn't as good as it could have been, I just enjoyed the whole get together. We'll come to Southampton next time.

hey guys thanks for a cool night its good to see a scene growing in pompey, but i gotta say though that if i hadnt have needed my gloves so badly i think i would have bitten my nails to nothingness. im gonna be a big meanie and stress again what others are being to nice to say... you REALLY need to sort out you fire safety, i couldnt look half the time as i edged further and further away from the crowd. but otherwise weldone for bringing spinners together, it can be a bloody hard thing to do sometimes

No Spanner, that was a few friends of mine... I'm Chris...one of the few Portsmouth lot who actually said "Hi". I had a good night, it was great to see a good turn out, alot of new faces. The Grey cotton top, the idiot who through lack of perception did a nasty burn-off a bit too close to the crowd?? ><.
Narr your right. We had the safety equipment, but the safety factor really needs to be improved. I could see everyone cringing. But Heh congrats to Lamia for arranging it.

Hey, i was well impressed that so many hrd turned out for such a night,
means that soon a lot of new talent will be in teh south area, and it will be a bigger pulling force for myself and other people!
What did push us away that night, was as has been said, its the safty factor
if you would like some hints and tips, we would be happy to help with advce like, have the fule far away from crowds of people, dont spark up near the fuel, have your safty gear near poeple (you drifted away from your fire extinguisher and blankets) be careful about spacing yourselfes out.
We dont mean to go on at you, which is why we didnt really say to much on the night, as after all it was your night, and everyone was there to have fun..
But a large part of this community are very aware of safty, and i dont wnat you to be seen as unsafe,
most of you looked likeyou had only just started or had just picked up a set of moves, and where playing around, thats cool
but always remebr to slow down, spinning loook a load better when you spin slow and controlled!

Cheers for a few tips. I've personally got no excuse, I've been spinning for near 2 years, I should have caught on a bit better, but I'll have a word with people and sort out bad habits which we've all got. =/ Thanks for bareing with us though. To be honest the crowd kind of settled round the fuel. But still, its up to us to tell them to move.

We didnt want to lecture you, we still dont,
we are just worried (a little for our own sake) about the reputation of fire, and performances inside of the south....
From my point of view, and those of the other pro performers around me such as frodo, 2bags, and strugz, and the non pro spanner, narr, mr confused
there was a lot of safty issues that needed taking acre of, exclusion areas, notice how we ALWAYS moved far away from our freinds to play, this would be the same in the day as well, fire or no...
mainly what we where worried about, well my main concern, was that there is a lot of pople who come throught the boards saying, that their parents dont like what it implies, and would maybe come them to a fire meet
amd when they see the kind of little mistakes that can become very dangerous fast, then they might not allow their child to take part. and thats a loss to bot them and the community
drink and drugs would also have to be a serious point, very few, to almost no proffessional performer will take drugs and play, or be seen to taking drugs and play, its a ine line to cross, but its a solid one with most of the people i play with.
Like i have said if you wish to discuss anything with any of us, on hop, or on soton, then you are always welcome!
