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)

Wasn't aware of that Bubbles, thanks for bringing it up. smile

Pete, not sure if I will be going to BrJC yet, am tempted though.

Also in a totaly unrelated note. The guy who was doing the double diablo on Sunday at Dpercusion, you lost your handles/string for your diablo. Just so you know I found them and have them safe, will keep hold of them until the next meet, unless you want them back sooner, in which case PM me about them.
If anyone knows who this person is, let them know that they are safe and in tact smile

Word up new poiple sunny
I think I handed out the HoP address to about 15 people at the weekend!

We do need to arrange another big meet actually. D:Percussion was funny due to alcohol consumption levels but I need some actual practise.

I cant do this weekend (got to meet my rents and got a couple of mates coming up) or next weekend (got to sit in a field and watch Radiohead). How about the one after? Sunday 27th maybe's?

Is there owt going on that weekend already?

Ahh damn - The bank holiday might not be a good plan for a big meet.

I cant do the 20th as I'll be at V.

Might try to get a Platt fields meet sorted on the bank holiday monday if anyone fancies it. Looks like a big meet isnt happening until september now (probably after falmouth eek ).

Sorry Lee. Am currently in London at the moment and will be down south until Monday. Hope you have a good one. Brighton Pride was brilliant - FAR better than the Manchester one. Sunnier, bigger, more people and (un)surprisingly assexual (in a good way)

Looks like you all had a good time at D-Percussion!

27th is very much doable... May or may not be working at Poptastic on the 26th but I might go anyway (better music for a start!) Not paying to get into the Canal Street area!!! What say you Lee and all the other benders?

I would love to come lee but I have plans with my G/f for saturday afternoon/evening/night.

A friend is helping organise a family fun day in Didsbury on sunday 20th and asked me about the possibility of getting some spinny types along to perform and possibly teach some kids how to spin. I will get more details in the next couple of days and start an event thread about it is she still wants.

I am not around for the bank holiday weekend, but will still notify people if something is organised for then. smile
