Well, last night was a bit odd!
Perhaps it had something to do with the void moon (last aspect was an opposition to Neptune at about 6:30 am and it remained void until about 6:30 in the evening when it entered Virgo) but whatever it was, it could well be recorded as the Moot that almost didn't happen.
Special thanks go to Anne and Jonathan (sp?) for managing to get to us. To the ten other people who sent their apologies we can only say thanks for letting us know. We hope that the illness/difficult situation/date clash/etc. improves asap, and we'll see you soon.
A quiet Moot is just so weird! Anyway, here are some announcements:
The Next Two Moots
On Tuesday 10th February, Daniel will blow our minds, man!, with his (recently successfully tested) Reality Bomb. And. . .
On Tuesday 1oth March, Bridget will be teaching us all about Esther. Yes, the one from the Bible. A nice Jewish girl . . . or is she?
It's also Gillian's birthday that day, so be sure not to forget her.
Other Stuff
The Wassail is on this coming Saturday - the 17th - 8pm onwards, in our back garden. Be there or be a rectangular thynge, and don't forget your hat! In fact, I'm about to cut the firewood for it once I've published this.
Finally, keep Friday 23rd clear in your diary for my birthday night out at ARA. Here's a link to ARA for those who may not know it. Come and help me pretend I'm still young and thin by gothing-it-up in a 17th Century church!
It's also Spikey DaPikey's birthday two days before, so I think we're on a double celebration. WooHoo!
And that appears to be it! So, many blessings and huge hugs to whoever's reading this and we'll see y'all soon.
Love,
Seán

December Announcements
Good Morning y'all and I hope everyone's recovering from their various lurgies. Is there anyone (apart from Rowan) who isn't ill at the moment? It's an epidemic I tells ya!
Anyway, last night's quiz went rather well, with the fascinating addition of picture rounds courtesy of Womble and Spike. The winner was the amazing Gillian/Sara gestalt (because Sara had completely lost the power of speech last night)
Here is the news - bong!
The next two moots will be:
On 13th Jan we'll be having a pot-luck games night. Please bring a game or a suggest one and we'll vote and play the favourite(s). Naked Twister with baby oil has already been vetoed. (boo! Shame!)
On 10th Feb Daniel will be taking over with a talk/discussion entitled "Reality Bomb". Don't ask me, I don't know either, but I'm fascinated.
Some other things:
As well as being Yule day, 21st Dec is also Global Orgasm Day! I think this is fantastic, it's sex magick on a worldwide scale. The idea is for as many people as possible across the whole world to have an orgasm at exactly the same time thus providing a massive release of positive, joyous energy into the world in one big pulse!
You can find out more here. Unfortunately it's timed between 11am and 1pm GMT, which is a bit awkward, but if your timing's slightly off, well never mind. Every little helps and it's hardly a chore!
We will be having our Wassail party on Sat 17th Jan. For those who've never done this, we bless the apple trees by spraying them with cider and chanting a daft poem. And then we've got to drink lots more cider (No really, it's the law.). Don't forget your hat!
Fri 23rd January will be Seánie's birthday trip to ARA. Please do come along and help me goth it up and pretend I'm young and skinny again! Here's a link to ARA for anyone who doesn't know about it yet.
Some future plans
The March moot has been claimed by Bridget, but after that we're clear until November and open to suggestions. If you want to take over a Moot, or request something particular, please tell us and we'll see what we can get organised.
On that subject, we're considering a couple ourselves: a music night and a poetry night. The poetry Moot would be a bring-your-own, rather than bring-a-favourite.
The thinking behind the music Moot is that we get the musicians amongst us to do a short talk or demo about their particular thing (drums, songwriting, classical violin, folk music, world flutes etc) and then see if we can do a whole group jam session. The neighbours don't like us anyway.
I'm also considering a local history field trip to Radcliffe Tower and its environs. This would happen during the day, one weekend vaguely around Bealtaine.
The response last night was positive for these ideas, but we still want to know what you think or if you have any ideas of your own. Ah, go on. You know you want to!
And finally
Womble is considering a trip to the Clun Green Man Festival, and would like to see if we can do it en masse - sharing cars and suchlike. Have a look at it here and let us know what you think.
I think that's it - hoorah! If we don't see you before then have an excellent Yule and an even better New Year and we'll see you in January.
Love,
Seán
