Herefordshire and Gloucestershire

Now that I appear to be semi permanently stuck in ther countryside fir at least the forseeable future I was wondering if any one lives in Herefordshire or Gloucestershire- I'm right in the middle 9Ross-on-Wye) and am keen to meet some local spinners- I'm not hugely into fire but I can be pursuaded

Hi Mr C

i'm in the forest of Dean Gloucestershire (Coleford) would love to meet up with some local spinney type people.

i've only been into poi for about 4 months ish so still a bit of a beginner

my sister is moving to herefordshire soon so might well be visiting, would be cool to meet up with people. il b back in this thread in a few weeks then!

OOh good stuff- maybe we could get a meet togethr with Hyperlight and Polarity who at out towards Malvern

Keep me posted in here or pm if you want to meet up

So, to be a techie glo poi inventor you need to live in Malvern. Hmmmm!

Polarity lives in Upton so really it's more a Worcestershire thing... but I take your point

I'd be well up for a meet - when were you planning this for? ..or would it be a regular thing?

i think me and my significant other would be up for a meet malvern way

morning!
I think this all sounds cool!
where would you think of going to then?
and when?
oooh! it could be a regular meet! and I could learn how to poi properly from you lot!
I'm a bit rubbish! (however I have officially taught thirty people now!)

I'll be moving to Colwall (near the top of the Malverns on the Hereford side) in about a month. Until then (and probably a lot of the time after the move) I'll be in Nuneaton though. Should have space at the new place for peeps to stay over, and it's pretty handy for train stations.

Lots of people from the forest here..beautiful place, slightly freaky people! Im in stroud, nice to know there are HoPpers locally!

Excellent Glad you've spotted the thread

We should get a meet together sometime- not sure when i'm about, but it'd be great to have a little meet somewhere- maybe we could rent a hall somewhere and have a session

I realise it's not quite hereford/gloucester, but there's a meet in Malvern this saturday if anyone's interested.. ?

*BUUUUUUMP*

I'm back from London, and most likely settling in the area for the forseeable future, SO shout loudly if you want to meet up

That will be all

I will be back in cheltenham in march so if there is anything going on after that I shall endeavour to make it . . .

Hey.... yes there is something going on... a Juggling club at Gloucester Guildhall on Wednesday nights... 4:45 - 6:45pm... I'll be there every other week and up for fiery fun in Cheltenham or Gloucester at other times........ hopefully see everyone soon

Hello everyone

* sets up camp *

I have finally defected away from the welshies Cymru thread and must make home here.

Am now in Cheltenham for the next few months.... I will try and get over to the guildhall at somepoint soon si...

Cool.... Would be gd to meet other Cheltenham spinners

so when are you likely to be there next si ?

What?

There are people nearby?

When did that happen?

What happens at the guildhall?

I am here, where are you ?

Damn...... went tonight (weds) more new toys and more funding to come, will not be going 'til 22/03 now 'cause I work shifts and will be on lates next week, might see if I can get next Weds off work though.

Mr Chutney.... Juggling club details as above, few toys to play with for a couple of hours (juggling balls....obviously! poi, staff, diablo, stilts, devil sticks. plate spinning stuff, contact juggling stuff and a unicycle) talk of using funding to get tutored workshops through circomedia otherwise just a bunch of amateurs helping each other learn new skills.... all for the meagre sum of £1, hope to see all there! In a bit, Si

Si-

Sounds excellent- I've lived in Ross since I was 6 (and had 5 years at uni admittedly) but I had no idea this was on

money and lifts permitting, I'll be there next wednesday

I too will try and get my ass there this week, 4.45 till 6.45 at the guildhall right ?

Ahhh- 4.45- 6.45 probably rules me out as I have no possible lift until more like 7 pm

bugger

I'm not going to juggling club 2morrow.... work shifts and this week it's 3:30 - 11:50pm will be there next wednesday though.... yes it is the guildhall (arts centre in town) in gloucester... yes the time is a pain in the arse, as the weather gets warmer we could meet after JC and carry on somewhere else maybe.... we'll see In a Bit

We'd be happy to host spin meets here and can have people round nearly every weekend during the summer.

Apparently there is a meet in Hereford on the third Friday of every month. Anyone interested drop me a PM for details

Right guys just to clear up some confusion bout the juggling clubs at gloucester its at the guildhall every wednesday without fail... from 4:45-6:45 price is now £2.50 for unwaged £3.50 for waged to cover costs... We have lots of glow equipment and so much stuff now u cant shake two firey sticks at it... I am there every weds with out fail all come along...

First time is free what have you to loose plus u can meet a load of cool new people.

mike

Hereford meet is this evening- I'll check details on my lunch break- pm me for details

Thanks Clare- sounds like finally I get someone to spin with

I have created a Herefordshire Poi Spinners group on Facebook if anyone is interested

*bump*

only 4 weeks to go!!! Where's all the rest of the spinners at????

Ha! You think its that easy?! I've been trying for YEARS...

could we not bribe them with something?? or use some sort of bait??? Maybe a trap is what we need can you get a big net???

Well I hoped I had the 'bait' thing down for 50% of the viewers, maybe you could do the other 50%

3 weeks to go!!! (exam result permitting)

Not only am i looking for spinners now i'm looking for a physio or for someone to remove big sore bits from back and neck.

Any offers any level of experience

A-ha this thread is gaining life again... I take your bait Mr Chutney where would a coleford/hereford/cheltenham/gloucester meet end up being?? Reckon I could get a couple of other lady spinners 2... In a bit

Si! hello mate- I've been rubbish haven't I..

As for where- well it depends who is up for it- i have a few contacts gloucester way, and miss light should be here by the end of the week (I think).

We should all exchange numbers- you on Facebook?

Boo should i write my number down and pass it to you or are you too busy atm Mr C?

SiFire hello!!!!! I have a big map, we could join all the dots up btween the 4 spots and pin the poi to the map and there is where we should have our spinning meets

Rarrrr

rarr indeed.

I am spinning all sorts of weird and wonderful things- Miss light is a good influence on the otherwise spinner starved Chutney.

A local meet would be good, maybe the weekend before Play so we can all meet up at the festival too?

Wakey wakey have car and poi will drive rarrrr!

Bump, sod you lot!!! I'm moving to Wales :P

No fun at all!!

Meh, easy come, easy go....

I'll give you a ring over the weekend, sunday may be a good day what time roughly (will have to assess the damage to the brain cells and the purse sunday am).


Sat is now off the cards due to a large expense/purchase so free stuff to do and no travel would be cool.

Right

I think a few of us are going to meet on Saturday down by the river in Ross if the weather is good- a bit of a spin then move to the pub to cool down.

Any takers?

sounds good to me
my weekend is looking free ish so far so should be able to make it.

Sorry you couldn't make it Mike. Those that turned up had an amazing day of spinning, giggling and messing about. Herefordshire spinners DO exist

We had a wikid day, it was really good to meet everyone properly. I’m looking forward to the next meet already. Thank you Chutney for helping me get Hyperloops, and for bending my mind with so much other stuff, it was great.
