Hi Everybody!
Now that I've got my shed painted and the hangover's calming down, here are the announcements from last night's Moot. I'd like to thank everyone who could make it for coming and giving us such a full house and a fun night.
The Next Two Moots
Daniel will be re-exploding his Reality Bomb on Tuesday 14th April. This is the talk/discussion/rant which was postponed from last month due to illness.
On Tuesday 12th May we've decided to have a poetry Moot. (Okay, I decided and everyone else made pained moaning noises!) Unlike previous poetry nights this one is Bring Your Own! *he says grinning evilly and cackling*
Other Stuff
Pay attention now, there's a lot of it! In fact there's so much that there's an evens chance I'll forget something. If I do please feel free to shout at me and I'll sort it out asap.
Daniel and Helen are holding their Equinox party at Yates Towers on Saturday 21st March, from 8pm onwards. If you can play an instrument, please do bring it. If you can't - so what! Bring yourself.
I'm considering a trip to ARA on the night of Friday 27th March. I've not actually made a proper decision yet - we may not be able to afford it - but if you're interested in coming along, let us know.
Jonathon has told us of a new pub Moot starting on the 1st Wednesday of the month. It's at the Queens in New Mills, Derbyshire and the first meeting is on the 1st April (I know, I know!). Apparently the lady running it is also the landlady of the pub. Pretty cool!
The Chorlton Big Green Festival is on Saturday 4th April at St. Clement's Church on Edge Lane. I'm plugging this a bit because there will be some lovely people there including the Vegan Society (including our own Linda, and Morag too I think); Bolton's marvellous Knitting Noras who will be advertising their naked knitting charity calender as well as teaching folks how to knit; and a performance from the rather good Anglo-Franco-Mancunio-Boltonio band, the SR Gents (check 'em out!)
If you don't fancy that the Horwich Morris are performing in Edgeworth that day and may include a certain tall, dark, fiddle-playing young lady of our acquaintance.
Jonathon has also told us that the PF's Sarah Males will be giving a talk on Shinto at the Pagan Wheel (Waldorf, Gore Street, Manchester) on Monday 6th April. Fingers crossed!
For those of a nudist disposition, you might like to know that Saturday 2nd of May will be the 5th annual World Naked Gardening Day. Don't do it on your own, the neighbours might not understand!
We've come to a final decision for our Bealtaine Wicker Man Party. It will now be on the evening of Sunday 3rd May, as the next day is Bank Holiday Monday. Be in good voice: there will be singing - and dancing, and eating, and drinking, and film-watching! 8pm onwards at our 'ouse.
The next day, Monday 4th May will have the Frog Parade at the gravel pits in Darcy Lever, which are part of Moses Gate Country Park. This is great fun for all the family, but we haven't got any more info yet. As soon as I know anything proper I'll tell everyone else.
This weekend also sees the Clun Green Man festival. I know Womble is thinking of going to some or all of it so if anyone wants to arrange a group trip she's the best person to speak to. If you don't know how to get hold of her, tell us and we'll do it for you.
We don't know much yet about the Bury Pace-Eggers either, except that they'll be performing over the Easter weekend 10th - 12th April. Wheels are in motion to find out more (thanks Punzie and Og).
We're also still waiting for a message from Jane, who wants a good-old Pagan housewarming. Details will be forthcoming soon, I believe.
Finally, Linda has told us about the Northern Earth Walks Weekender at Kilmartin, Argyll. Camping for the whole weekend will cost all of £8 per tent. It's on 16th and 17th May touring ancient sights, but details are limited to a Yahoo group. If you're interested either contact Linda, or tell us and we'll put you in touch.
I'm tired now!
Night, night!
Love,
Seán

Litlle Update
Hi y'all.
Just a little note to say that Bridget's talk on Esther (ie. who is she really?) is postponed until such time as she's feeling better.
Meanwhile I'm open to suggestions. If anybody fancies taking over this month they'll be very welcome. Otherwise, Sara has suggested I do a talk on the Mad March Hare.
What do YOU think?
See you on Tuesday 10th.
Love,
Seán

February Announcements
Hi everyone and thank you to those who could make it here last night. Considering so many people were ill we had rather a good turnout and quite a lively session. Hello to our new people Chris and Jane (sorry if that's spelled wrong!), we hope you'll come again. If you were ill (or otherwise unable to make it), we hope you'll get better soon and we'll see you in March, if not before.
For those who were expecting Daniel's Reality Bomb talk we can only apologise, but a postponement couldn't be helped. With so much lurgy around, Daniel and Helen didn't want to risk taking yet more germs home to little Dylan, which is fair enough.
So anyway, here are the announcements.
The Next Two Moots
The Moot for Tues 10th March is planned to be taken by Bridget, giving us a talk on Esther (as in The Book of Esther, Old Testament) and what she's really about.
Sadly, Bridget isn't terribly well at the moment, so there's a possibility this may not happen as planned.
We're assuming it's going ahead for now but if anyone would like to offer an emergency talk/discussion/workshop/whatever as an alternative, we'll be very grateful. Otherwise we'll come up with something ourselves should there be a problem.
Daniel's back on Tues 14th April. This is the rescheduling of the Reality Bomb talk, for which we wait with great eagerness!
Announcements
The only announcement we have been told about for February is the Slaithwaite Moonraker Festival on the Saturday 21st. It starts at 6pm and you can read more at the bottom of this page.
Unusually, we don't have anything coming up for a couple of months, so here are a couple of advance announcements:
Saturday 4th April is the date of the Chorlton Big Green Festival. Details can be found here.
On that same day the Horwich Morris will be performing in Edgeworth. You can get details by asking Womble, or failing that ask us and we'll ask Womble!
I've also taken the executive decision of setting our Bealtaine Wicker Man Party for Saturday 2nd May. I know this is a pain in the fundament for a lot of people but I can't really come up with a better date. It's not carved in stone yet, though.
And Finally
We will be on Facebook! Womble has requested that we get a Facebook group going so events can be posted more easily. I'll sort that out just as soon as bloody Farcebook lets me log in again. All I've had all morning is this:
I'm getting paranoid now! See y'all soon.
Love (and hugs full of germs)
