March Announcements

Hello again all you lovely people who are now educated all about trolls. Thanks to Brynjar for commentary and, of course, the loan of the film. Here's what we're doing next.

The Next Two Moots

We're going to attempt to get Bridget to move her wry look at earth zodiacs to 10th April and Peter has offered to take us back to Norway with a slide show on 8th May.

A little further ahead, Linda has offered to take over the June Moot with a talk on Frau Holle which has kindly allowed me to move our trip to Radcliffe Tower to July.

Hooray, it's all working out.

Coming Up

Nothing to do with Paganism, except for the fact that I'm in it - Whitefield AODS is putting on a production of Little Shop of Horrors at the Paragon in Prestwich from 21st to 24th March, curtain up at 7:30pm. Tickets are a tenner and available via the number on the website or (if you're lucky) on the door.

On Saturday 14th April Rivington Morris will be holding a day of dance in and around Bolton town centre. It's in honour of the late member, Barbara Bolton and a charity collection will also be made.

Still in Bolton, John Doughty will be giving his talk again on the Pendle Witches at the Octagon Theatre on Thursday 19th. Tickets are a fiver and we've been told they sell out fast.

Rivington Morris are back again on Sunday 22nd April, performing in the Manchester St George's Day Parade. The website is out of date, but we assume it starts from Varley St, Miles Platting at 11:30 am

We've just been told about the Shaggy Dog Storytellers who meet up monthly in Hebden Bridge. If you're interested you can find them here.

Unless you've been living under a rock you'll already know about our annual Wicker Man Bealtaine party, but I'm going to tell you anyway. 8pm onwards, Saturday 28th April at Radcliffe Moot Towers. We'll have a Wicker Man to burn, a bonfire, a maypole and, of course, the film - with songsheets!

Finally, for anyone who fancies a trip to Yorkshire the Thornborough Henge Bealtaine Celebration is on Sunday 6th May from noon onwards.

That's enough from me, see you soon

Addendum!

Due to a slight diary-based cock-up, Bridget won't be able to do this month's moot on 13th March.

However, the Radcliffe Moot's very own Scandinavian hero, Brynjar, has bravely agreed to step up to the mark and bring his talk forward by a month.
He will be treating us to a screening of - and commentary on - the film, Trollhunter. Actually, if you say that in a Norwegian accent it sounds much better.

See you on Tuesday,
Seán
