September Announcement.

My mother often said I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on. She may have been right.
With that in mind, here are the announcements from September's moot - and the really cool thing is that it's still September (just)!

The Next Two Moots

On the 12th October PhD student and all-round extremely clever person, Hannah Kate will be giving us a talk on the Mediaeval Origins of Monsters (y'know vampires, werewolves and such). Mystic Seán predicts this is going to be a popular one. I know I'm looking forward to it.

9th November will see the return of our annual storytelling moot. Bring a story! It can be anything you like, something you've written or something you enjoy. Do try to keep it below ten minutes in the telling, though, so everyone gets a turn.

Coming Up

Saturday 9th October will see the first Pagan Federation North West Conference in quite some years. It's at the Castle Centre in Kendal from 10am to 6pm and tickets are available from: BM Brigantia, London, WX1N 3XX (£10 for members and £13 for non-members). You may also be able to pay on the door, but it's not recommended

If you can't manage that but fancy a mad night out, The Lowry in Salford has Sing-a-long-a-Wicker-Man on that self-same evening. No, really. The details are here.

During the afternoon of Saturday 16th October there will be a Mediaeval Market and Street Play on Churchgate in Bolton. Come and watch John, landlord of the Olde Man & Scythe get his head chopped off - fun for all the family!

Finally, our annual Samhain fancy-dress party will be on Saturday 30th October, 8pm onwards. This year's theme is Horror Film Heroes - come as a favourite horror film character. So far we haven't been threatened with naked werewolves!

That'll do for now unless, of course, I've forgotten something!

Love and brainache,
Seán
