juggle weavesmiley Manchester Spinner’s Meet up and stuff weavesmiley juggle



Hi all If you are looking for people to spin poi with in the North west this is the place to be.



For any one new to this sight DON’T READ THE WHOLE THREAD it has been going a long time and contains lots of old information and chat about previous meet ups and organisation stuff just go to the last few posts to find out the most up-to-date information on current events.



First a bit of info the Manchester spinners lot is no professional spinning troop or organised events it is just a group of people who get together to enjoy themselves. The first meet up was organised way beck in September 04 https://delizium.fotopic.net/c291964.html

The crowd has changed a bit from back then but we have kept a few old timers we welcome all along to come and join us for a spin whether you be experienced or a complete beginner we are willing to teach and learn from you.



Their is no set time for the meet ups they are usually organised around when people can make it and how long they can stay.



I will try to update this first post as often as I can with the most up-to-date info on meet ups and club nights that allow spinning but if I'm being a bit lax just find the last few posts foe up-to-date info (like I said before weren’t you paying attention)



To date the standard meets have gone as meet up in Piccadilly gardens at 4pm (nice central point where every one can get to) Then move on down to the Gas Works/CastleField or Plat fields Park depending on the wether till everyone gets to cold/tired/burned then on to the pub

( anybody who doesn’t know where this is it can be arranged for someone to come meet you at the train station or wherever you are coming from .) smile

{ ubblove We are a nice bunch like that ubblove}



Accommodation for a night can usually be arranged but you need to sort this well in advance no just turning up expecting somewhere to sleep eek





(more to be added and all to be spell checked soon)



pm me any info you would like to add

before i met those lot i thought they'd be a bunch of dreadlocked hippies that smoked, set things on fire ,and drank a lot of tea but then when i met them....oh wait (PyroWill)

Thanks for the advice about Exposureworld. Despite being accepted I'm not sure if I will be working with them. Mostly due to not feeling I'm performance material JUST yet.

P.S> Is this you?

Hi everyone! We bumped into a couple of fire spinners on Tuesday night in Manchester who showed us a few moves - it seems like fun! (Although the creepy drunk bloke was a bit worrying with the fire poi! lol)

Will have to have another go sometime!

I'm pretty relaxed regards to days meets are on. ALthough I may be taking a night job starting on monday, which could affect my availability.

Dave, When is the date for the next Monster Monster? Their web page is down and their myspazz says its on the 15th July. As you do their flyers I thought you might have some idea. Cheers hug

It's like herding cats, innit? One simple decision between two dates and just look at the faffing!!

Right, I (in all my only-ever-turned-up-once-ness) am going to say 21st so that it doesn't clash with the third British whip convention and then I can get to both. 'Kay?

Yay saturday meet, I like those, more trains. We meet in a horrible grotty broken glass, condom infested place called the gasworks storm. For some reason people seem fond of it :P

Ignore Joe, the Gasworks is a great place to spin - lots of open grass, places to sit other than the floor, keep out of the rain & still spin, convenient and (generally) hassle-free (just hope Plod doesn't come back for a second look frown umm

Come along, Stormdamage, you'll be very welcome ubbrollsmile
