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

June Announcements
EEEK! I'm a week late with this. Mind you with what I've been getting involved in recently I think I'm doing well to remember anything. Fortunately there's not a lot to report but, please, if I've missed anything tell me.
Moots
The next two moots go like this: on Tuesday 14th July Chris will be teaching us some pyrography - excellent for your wooden wands and pentacles - and on Tuesday 11th August there will be a team effort of Daniel, Helen and Tina teaching and demonstrating some reflexology. Foot-washing facilities will be available (if someone reminds me).
Coming up
Not an enormous amount, actually! We've decided to have a quiet family Solstice (it's either that or collapse) so we'd like to wish everyone a Happy Summer right now. *big hugs* XXX Mwah!
On Sat 27th June Rivington Morris will be performing in Bolton for a charity Victorian day. You'll find us on Churchgate somewhere. Or most likely propping up the bar at the Old Man & Scythe!
Pagancon is on the weekend of 4th/5th July (Details and tickets here). That's unless us Subgeniuses have got it right and it's really X-Day and the end of the world. Praze "Bob"!
If you're going to the Woodspirit camp at Silverdale this year, 24th-26th July be sure to come and say hi!
Finally - we will be having our annual Lughnasadh Whinberry Walk on Holcombe Hill sometimes around Lughnasadh. We just haven't decided when yet.
Love and rushing around,
Seán

May Announcements.
It's taken me a little while to write this stuff down but well, better late than never!
The Next Two Moots
Next month, Tues 9th June we'll be having a social barbecue in the back garden - please bring anything you feel is appropriate and we'll work it all out between us.
On the 14th July, Chris has promised us a session of pyrography.
Please stock up on burn remedies for both of those Moots now!
Other Stuff
We're having a night out at ARA (come hell or high water!) on Friday 22nd May. Anybody who wishes to join us for a good old Gothfest will be more than welcome. I've got to go - I've made a new shirt specially for it (and trousers if I can ever follow the pattern properly!).
Monday 1st June sees both the Bolton Moot and the Manchester Pagan Wheel. We're informed that Manchester has a talk by Mark Black entitled, Metaphysics.
Friday 12th of June is Manchester's bit of the World Naked Bike Ride. All details are in the link. Please get your kit off and get on your bike (or if you can't, then come to Manchester and cheer us on). You'll even get to see my wobbly, white flesh - lucky you!
The evening after that (Saturday 13th June) will hold Bridget's birthday party. Because of her present treatment it's impossible to plan ahead with any certainty, so before you go please ring either us or Bridget on the day to make sure this is still happening.
We will be having our Solstice picnic on the weekend of 20/21 June, but we're not organised as yet. So, full details to follow
On the same weekend The Coven are having a Solstice camp at Silverdale. Contact them for more info.
Finally (for this bit) there's a charity Victorian day going on around the Parish Church in Bolton on Saturday 27th June. Most importantly it's going to feature the Rivington Morris, and some rather familiar faces!
And There's More . . .
Does anyone fancy a group trip to the Tate Gallery in Liverpool? Tina's organising this so if you're up for it either speak to her directly or tell us and we'll do it for you.
Emrys has told us that Urbis in Manchester is having an exhibition on the history of video games. There's a small fee, but apparently you get to play with them.
Lastly, Linda has informed us that Cresswell Grags are open to the public again, at the weekends, from the end of May. If you like your art good and prehistoric, that's the place to be.
That's all folks. I'm off to sew my trousers!
Love,
Seán
