URGENT SPITZ UPDATE:

There is NO Spitz today, as the entire area around Spitalfields Market is shut for building works, so we have nowhere to play. It's going to continue to be shut for a 3 month period, while works continue.

This sucks. That's official.

Kevin and I will be there tonight to let people know what's happening and redirect folks to the pub, but if anyone reads this, PLEASE tell anyone you know who's coming not to. Or to head to the Poets if they're mad set on turning up anyway.

If anybody knows of an alternative local venue we could use, please get in touch with either me or Kev. I'm on here more often, so PMing me would be a good plan. We'll work on setting something up until the market opens up again, hopefully fairly soon.

Apologies in advance to anyone that shows up, we didn't know about this till the last minute.

Last thing: This is ONLY TEMPORARY. After the works finished, we'll be right back in there and up to our old tricks. In the meantime, please be patient, and with a bit of luck we'll have something up and running in no time.

Thanks to everyone who supports Spitz, you all rock. Watch this space....

But I won't have to run far, because they'll be at the end of my road.

This is both a reminder, and an announcement, and another reminder, plus not one, not two, but three, count them THREE invitations, to come and play with circus toys in the next few weeks.

Firstly, a reminder: Spitz is every Tuesday night, 7-10pm, and it's cool. If you do any circus skills stuff you should come along. I promise I will be there every week for the next 3 at a minimum, and probably most weeks until the end of Summer now. Come and play! :)

Secondly, another reminder (hey, nobody said I had to do them in order). On Sunday 1st April there is a circus skills event happening on the Arnold Circus bandstand at the end of my road, called Circus on the Circus. The roads will be closed off, and the very good circus training school Circus Space will be teaming up with the local bandstand community group to put on what sounds like a fairly big event with people performing and teaching all kinds of stuff. The event runs from 2pm to 9pm, and I'm tempted to hang around afterwards and see how much trouble I get in for spinning fire once it gets dark. Come and play!! :)

Thirdly, there is a 'Have a Go' day, a kind of warm-up event for the Circus on the Circus thing, on Saturday 24th March, which will just be on the bandstand but without the roads closed off etc. There will be some people from Circus Space and a load of kids from the local school, doing juggling, globe-walking, diablo etc, and it would be nice to go along and just mess around for a bit if the weather is good. Come and play!!! :)

Google map for Arnold Circus bandstand - Old Street is the closest tube, ~10 minutes walk to the west. Liverpool Street station is ~15 minutes walk south of the bandstand.

Oh yes, almost forgot, my kid brother is definitely coming down to the April 1st event, which is cool. He'll be heading into town on the Saturday and leaving on the Monday. It's nice to be able to do the 'big brother in the big city' thing and invite him to come stay for a fun event that he'll enjoy, the kind of thing that just wouldn't happen in his sleepy Norfolk village.
