Hi all! Not much to say that isn't already answered below aside from the fact that I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone on here and that I am a complete Poi novice-I've been to a few workshops with Clare Palmer and really enjoyed it so I decided i'd order myself some sock Poi to keep practising with, which arrived yesterday. Think the questions below say it all but if you have anything else you wanted to know, ask away

Welcome, welcome!
Mind the squirrels, they bite and some have been used as poi so they are a bit nervous.

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.
I'm normal ... it's everyone else that's crazy.
