In Reading there's a similar kite shop type place that sold poi and juggling stuff.
it's in the Harris Arcade in Friar Street
there isn't a massive amount of choice there though, and i was last there about a year ago, so they could have disappeared.
juggly/kite shops can be a bit short lived

alternatively you could buy over t'internet from the HoP shop, or hyperloop.co.uk
i'd recommend HoP for fire stuff, and hyperloop for funky cone poi.

or make a trip into Camden in London and visit Oddballs (right next to the market at Camden Lock, usually a good choice of stuff, maybe a little pricey)
but i wouldn't recommend them for practice poi at the moment, they only have rubbish tails

as in 'tails are rubbish' or 'the tails that oddballs are selling are rubbish'...?

i believe they are also selling purdy sock poi at the moment.

Hey FunkyGibber, I am a Newburian and I dearly miss that kite shop too for shame.
