Hoopswhirled held a two hour hoop workshop at the Haltwhistle Swimming and Leisure Centre on Saturday 19th September 2009. We had a fantastic turnout with everyone who took part showing tremendous enthusiasm and a willingness to play. There were some truly lovely moments and we are delighted it went so well. A big thank you to the Ian at HSLC who helped organise the workshop and to Aaron who provided such cheerful assistance on the day.
Photos to follow soon!

The Make a Change event in Haringey on 27th July brought a chance for more hooping with a brief display and workshops through the afternoon in the sunshine. Everyone was laughing and having fun - a great afternoon.

Hoopswhirled brought hooping to the Lee Valley Festival again this year, on Sunday 21st June.
Our 'come and try' workshops offered a flavour of hooping that everyone could try. We had all kinds of people coming through and even those who believed they couldn't hoop were surprised at how much they picked up.

On the 13th June we found ourselves in Chalcot Square for their annual fete. This was a much larger event than we realised and we were flat out with hoops and hoopers all afternoon. Fantastic weather and a great atmosphere.
