Hoopla is Not Just for Kids
An excellent article about hooping for fun and fitness has appeared in the London Evening Standard, Health and Beauty section. Reporter Jasmine Gardner talks to Anna Drury about the benefits of hooping and also takes one of Anna's classes. Well done Anna, it's a great plug for UK hooping in general and especially hooping in London. This summer I predict the London Parks are going to see quite a bit of spinning. It's nice to see so many classes opening up and so many hoop makers crafting beautiful hand-made hoops for people. And for those who like to craft their own, it was very nice to see Fancy Tapes mentioned there too.

Fancy Tapes Ordering and Shipping Now Available On-line to European Customers
All customers in the UK and Europe can now order tapes and arrange shipping and payment on-line in one easy transaction from our on-line shop
Shipping a variety of weights, sizes and shapes around Europe proved harder than we originally expected it might to automate. But at last we are proud to say that it is possible for our customers to order tapes and arrange the shipping and payment on-line as easily from Germany, Eire or Hungary as it is from the UK. We hope to see many new customers visiting our shop as a result.
If you live in America or Canada please continue to buy from our partners Identi-Tape Inc.
Summer has Arrived!
It came in with a determination in the last few days in May, and so we've all had time to go out and hoop in the sunshine again. A real treat for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere.
Festival season is about to begin and so it's time to make lots of summery hoops to take with you on your travels and holidays, or just to enjoy in the garden and parks. We react to hoops in many ways, but from my own experience I know that colour and size are very important for making me feel good. Now that the sun is out and the grass is soft and warm under bare feet, I want bright, sunny colours on my hoops. And we have lots of lovely summery colours for you to enhance a summers day with. If you haven't used them before, try out some of the new coloured holographic sequin tapes. They are stunningly beautiful. Teamed with some Rainbow Sheen or lovely mirror tapes and a twist of gaffer or spike tape for grip, these coloured sequins will flash like diamonds in the sun.
Horse Riders Need Pink Tape!
Calling all horse riders. If you jump your horses and want to use trendy coloured bandages to protect their legs, we can help you to tape the bandages on with matching tape! So far we know that our soft pink electrical tape and our bright fluorescent pink gaffer tape have both been used in three-day event competitions to fasten bright pink bandages to the horses legs. So if you jump, event, dressage or otherwise show your horses and want to stand out from the crowd, buy some matching or contrasting tapes from Fancy-Tapes to fasten them on with.
Have fun in the ring, whatever the ring may be!
