July Announcements

Well, at least I'm nearer to prompt than last month!

A big Thank You goes to Chris for an excellent moot on Tuesday, and for the idea of us all making a set of Moot runes. Inspired!

Future Moots

On the 11th of August we'll be having a reflexology session. This was originally planned as a joint venture between Tina and Daniel and Helen. Due to circumstances which I'll explain later it may be only Tina, but I'm sure she'll do a grand job.

Linda will be taking over the 8th September Moot. We don't know what she's doing yet, but then neither does she. So that's okay.

We don't have anything planned for October so far. Any suggestions?

Coming Up

Sadly, Daniel and Helen have had to cancel their trip to ARA this month - explanation in a bit! For the same reason Daniel has also had to reschedule his upcoming talk on Welsh Mythology at the Pagan Wheel.

The Woodspirit camp at Silverdale is on though, and tickets are apparently still available. It's all happening from the 24th -26th of July, so if you want to go get in touch with Jacqui or Lissa asap or tell us and we'll give you their email addresses.

Our annual Lughnasadh Whinberry Walk will be on Saturday 1st August. We're meeting at 10:30am by the Shoulder of Mutton pub, in Holcombe Village (which may or may not be open - it was shut last year after a drugs bust) - thats BL8 4LZ for those with SatNav.
The plan is that we stroll up Holcombe Hill (which is a lot easier than it sounds) and have a nice picnic at the top. The we work our way down picking whinberries (or whortleberries, blaeberries, bilberries, Vaccinium myrtillus - if you're not from Lancashire)

We've also decided to have a trip out to ARA ourselves on the 28th August. Details are all here and the postcode is M3 5DW. Eeh, aren't we high-tech now!

Other stuff

It's a rather topical reason why Daniel and Helen aren't around at the moment. There's been an incidence of swine flu at young Dylan's school and since Dylan isn't terribly good at fighting off infections they have had to batten down the hatches and stay out of the way for a while. Don't worry, they'll be back!
Similarly, our friend Screechowl has also had it. She's suffering post-viral nasties at the moment, but she's well on the way to recovery.
So, please join us in sending out some huge love. Every little bit is welcome.

On a more positive note, our lovely friends Carol and Mel are taking their business, Clarian Faeries out on the road. They'll be making regular appearances at Westhoughton and Bolton markets. Contact them via the website and then go find 'em - and buy stuff off them too!

See y'all soon.

Love,
Seán
