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)

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

Aww Hun are you poorlysickanddying? hughug hope you feel better soon

But if you're not written off by the Doc please give Jon and Sim humougous hugs from me and tell Jon I'm pining for a Jonny hug cos it's been far too long frown hug2 ubblove

Yay for Sunday - might not make it for 3 but will def be in Picc Gdns. Must get in touch with Preston, haven't seen or heard from Ro for an age and Catnuts (the well-known typing error) is permanently Star-struck in the south west I believe so we're unlikely to see him biggrin frown

Good news about an alternative venue - Gasworks isn't working for me since they ripped the seats out n stuff so if Castlefield is good lets move now!

My girlfriend (in Manchester) has just told me it is utterly freezing and snowing; she reckons our fingers most definately will be numb within a fairly short period of time, so to be honest, it doesnt really sound worth it, especially travelling from Liverpool and back again.
So sorry guys, we'll just have to hope for warmer weather next time.

Now, what have most more evolutionarily-advanced primates done to avoid getting cold.....?

All the more reason to play with fire....

I'm probably not gonna make it till 4:30ish (Procrastination makes the world....erm.... not turn blah....)
