Well, where to start....probably where I found out poi.

I used to live down south, and went to a festival called Beautiful days over 2 years ago. Whilst there I saw all manner of spinners, and just knew I wanted to get involved.

Unfortunatly I couldn't afford anything there but when i got home I started out with sock poi, then bought some pretty bad quality poi, just to get started. There used to be a lot of spinners where I lived, in Southampton, however now in Northwich in Cheshire, it's harder to find people to spin with.

Ummmm me, I'm 18, at mid cheshire college, a girl lol, love going to gigs, write for a couple of magazines and websites reviewing gigs, that's a lot of fun.

So yeah, hi poi poi people (ooo alliteration, nice...)

I don't think I'm very good, I really want to buy some good equipment and improve my skills. So, if anyone in Northwich fancys a spin then, go ahead!!

I'd be inclined to agree with J on this, that was bolder than a bald man getting a wax or sumthing.
