December Quiz Heads-Up!


Hi Everybody,

I've decided to base my quiz questions this year on the Cretan demi-goddess, Ariadne.
That's her in this excellent picture by Chaz Truog.

Normally I wouldn't bother to warn people, but in this case there's going to be one person who'll have an serious advantage.

Fair's fair, after all. We want someone else to win our wine!

Love,
Seán

November Announcements

Firstly - thanks to everyone who brought a story to share last night, we had an interesting and eclectic mix as always!


The Next Few Moots

Tuesday 9th December will be our annual quiz. Bring along 5 questions on your pet topic (vaguely Pagan-related please) - with answers. One point will be awarded for each correct answer and the winner will get a bottle of our (in)famous homebrewed wine. Standing joke - the loser gets two bottles, har-de-har har.

Tuesday 13th January will be a games moot. In the past we've had Therapy, Scruples and Revelations (an astrology based game) If you have any suggestions for a game to play please let us know. Don't worry guys and gals, I've already vetoed Twister with Baby Oil.

February's Moot (10th Feb) has been claimed by Daniel, and the topic is Reality Bomb!

March's Moot (10th March) has been claimed by Bridget, for a talk on the feast of Esther and Purim.


Other Stuff

Saturday 29th November - Helen's birthday party. for details, please get in touch with Daniel & Helen, or contact us and we'll pass your number on to them.

Friday 14th November: Our very own Rapunzel's folk band Twa Corbies will be on the radio! They're on Oldham Community Radio on their sounds of folk programme at 7pm, tune in (99.7FM) or listen online.
