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)

Hope you're all well.

Welcome to the Nottingham Fields of Fire wikipage!
Official Page: www.fieldsoffire.co.nr

The Nottingham Fields of Fire spinning group meets weekly to practice a variety of object manipulation performance skills. A cheerful, friendly atmosphere makes for an encouraging environment in which to learn, develop, improve upon and teach new skills to beginners and the experienced alike.

The fire meets are not exclusively for spinners "thank goodness - damn hippies!" i hear you say! :P Many people come down simply to socialise so even if you're not a spinner, come down - bring an instrument if you like - we have a lot of jembe drummers so if you've got one bring it down!

We always welcome new faces so if you feel like joining us you can find us every thursday (weather permitting - it's an outside venue) from 9 - 9:30ish in the evening onwards on the Forest Recreation Ground in Forest Fields (the Goose Fair Site) and we're usually on the large steps infront of the cafe. So if you're in the neighbourhood and feel like coming down, give us a heads up if you like on the aptly named heads up! page (also located on the discussion page). Check out the who's who page and hopefully you'll recognise some faces when you come down.

If there is any news or information relating to the fire meet or topics relating to spinning events please feel free to add it to the news page.
The calendar and events pages are there to be added to if come across any circus/spinning/festival related events.
Not forgetting to add yourself to the profile page! - the who's who in the Fields of Fire group. When adding your profile page, go to 'who's who' and click the 'add a new page' link on the right hand side of the page (not the left! :)
Also feel free to upload any media you like from the meet itself, festivals, or other events you want to share by creating your own image page! When adding your image page, go to the image index page and click on the 'add a new page' link on the right hand side (not the left! :)
If there's something you feel the need to shout about or bring to the Fields of Fire's attention, please post it on the discussion page.
