Unfortunately I won't be down :( blame the mountain of coursework i have to get done...everything is sort of winding up rapidly at college and i don't have a lot of time at the moment to concentrate on spinning, in fact i haven't done any this winter - I WANT MY LIFE BACK!! but anyway, i should have more time after easter and hopefully the BJC can rekindle my spinning and give me lots of new moves to practice :) and besides - the weather is horribly depressing today! sorry G, i really wanted to sneak off with your hyperlights when you weren't looking but instead i'm stuck to my computer. Bring on summer!!!!!!!Lou. And finally...Hyperlights have come to Nottingham. After a few months of waiting I am once again in posession of a prototype version of the Hyperlight glow poi :) I will be bringing them down to Fire night tomorrow (17th) if anybody would like to see what they're actually like.
What time are you meeting?G.£150 for a pair :)
...How much do they cost again G? :P They are awesome though so i guess it's worth being broke!
Hyperlight Update
The day of completion for Hyperlights draws ever closer. For those of you who don't already know Jon has recently finished the design for the casing which now looks like this. He will be receiving final prototypes shortly in order to check that things fit where they're supposed to after which they should be ready for production. In light of this Jon has set up a sign up page to register your interest in purchasing a pair. The pagecan be found here.
If you haven't seen what Hyperlights can do there are a couple of videos on youtube which can be found here and here. Other than that I should be in possesion of an earlier pair of prototypes again soon which I will bring down to a meet at some point. If you have any technical questions Jon has a website which is www.hyperlight.co.uk and there are several trheads on Home of Poi under the Technical Discussion section.
The world is about to go Hyper :D

Hi guys. So after just over a month and a half or so or galavanting around Europe and getting myself involved in lots of fun things I'm heading back to the UK (for a bit)
I will be back this Thursday although probably a little too late for the fire spin as my flight arrives at 23:00. Anyway, looking forward to being back and catching up with things.
Hope you're all well.
G.
