September Announcements

Good morning everybody, and thank you to Bridget for an enlightening and sometimes controversial talk on sexual and gender attitudes in Paganism and the wider society. I particularly liked the little penis on legs (you had to be there!).

Anyway, here are the Announcements for September:

The Next Two Moots

Tues 14th Oct will be taken by our own hostess and all-round wonder woman, Sara (Losing the Thread). She'll be having us all decorating candles (and yes, Spike, you can light them!)

Tues 11th Nov will be our annual storytelling moot. For those who've never done this before it's pretty straightforward - you bring a story! Any story will do, be it myth, fiction, personal history, Mr Men - whatever. Please keep it to a maximum of ten minutes, though, so everyone gets a chance.

Forthcoming Events

We will be holding our annual Bramble Ramble on Sat 13th Sep this year. We'll be doing a longish walk to Springwater Park, picking blackberries (or whatever else you may fancy) on the way. We'll have a teatime picnic in the park and then come back here for a civilised evening of drinkies and nibbles. Meet up at our house at 3pm and bring decent shoes - it's a fair walk.

Daniel (Astral Pilgrim) and Helen (Audio Pixie) will be hosting their Equinox party on Sat 20th Sep, from about 8-ish pm at their house. The theme is Come As You Were, so if you can still fit that New Romantic shirt, or (dare I say it?) shell suit, you've got it sussed. Please contact D&H yourself for details or, if you can't, contact us and we'll put you in touch.

Also thanks to Womble (Womble's Rants) for this: there's a folk night (normally a join-in-where-you-can type) every Friday night at the Full Circle Folk Club, in the Parkside Hotel in Prestwich (on Bury New Road facing Heaton Park). Feeling musical? That's the place to be.
(I must have missed my vocation, should have been an advertising exec.)

Looking Ahead

Our annual Samhain party is coming up. It will be on Saturday 1st November, and this year's theme is Myth and Legend. Interpret that how you will - the more imagination the better. I wonder if anyone's brave enough to come as the Roman Diana - at least the costume would be cheap!

Finally.

As a slight aside, if anyone has a stand-alone electric cooker going begging please let us know. Or alternatively, Womble or Spike (Spike's Mutterings). It's not for us, it's for Spike who's in a new flat with nowt to cook on. It's just not the same, living on jam butties!

And definitely lastly! Alan made an announcement towards the end of last night, but I'd had several glasses of plonk by then and I can't remember what he said (This is why we write things down, Seán, you dozy winesack!). As soon as I find out I'll update us, unless you know and can tell me.

Love,
Seán

P.S.
It's like a remake of Airplane! Did you have the guacamole? Emrys did and he doesn't feel terribly well right now. Not well at all!
