			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend, I took my camera over to Leamington and spent the afternoon  with the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=56650131566">Leamington Spa Hoop Club</a>. A few of the hoopers were a little wary to start with, but once they got used to me prowling around the room pointing a camera at them, I got some pretty good shots.</p>

<p>I had a really good time &#8211; a fun afternoon with a really nice bunch of people. I hope they&#8217;ll let me go back again sometime.</p>
<p>You can see the full set of indoor photos <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dopiaza/sets/72157623433125100/">here</a>, and the fire hooping shots <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dopiaza/sets/72157623479532762/">here</a>.</p>
