Good morning everybody and welcome to the announcements page!
On behalf of everybody who came on Tuesday I'd like to thank Bridget for her fascinating talk on Esther, Purim and the Pagan roots of many Jewish traditions. Oy gevalt, 'twas extremely good.
The Next Two Moots
On the 9th March Daniel will be doing a talk (and possibly some practical stuff) on Psychometry.
Linda will be taking over on 5th April to tell us all about her new book, "Lancashire's Sacred Landscape: From Prehistory to the Viking Age" (she's the editor) which is due to be published this month.
We're also considering making you (Yes, you!) do some work in May with a moot entitled, "What is your path?". Or something like that!
The moots from June to October are now open to anyone who wants one. So, if you want to do a moot or request something specific please let us know and we'll see what we can sort out.
Coming up.
I'd like to express my gratitude to Linda, both for supplying many of the events mentioned here and also for writing them down. I couldn't keep up!
Today (11th Feb) and on Monday 1st of March there will be some rather interesting talks at Manchester University. Today's is called "Viking Excavations in Iceland" and the one in March is "Wrath in Anglo-Saxon Britain" They'll be held in the Samuel Alexander building, but we recommend contacting the university yourself for any further details.
Pan Tavern will be holding their roving moot this month at the Man & Scythe on Churchgate in Bolton on Saturday 20th Feb. 8pm onwards, I believe. This could prove most interesting.
On Tuesday 23rd Feb Clarian Faeries will be restarting their own moot in Westhoughton. If you're interested let us know and we'll put you in touch with Mel and Nick. And if anyone could remind us of the subject I'd be most grateful.
If you're in Preston on the 26th Feb pop into Blackwell's. They are hosting our own Linda's book launch that evening. You never know, you could spot a famous author!
All being well (we still need to confirm this though) the Bolton Moot will re-open on Monday 1st March at the Hen & Chickens. Fingers are crossed for Michelle's return to excellent health.
On Friday the 5th March Shared Earth are having a ceilidh at St. Mary's Hall in Horwich to raise funds for this year's Pagancon.
Chorlton's Big Green Festival is on again this year, starting at 11am on Saturday 27th March at St. Clement's church. More details to follow next month.
Looking ahead
Just a couple of dates for your diary
On Sunday 25th April there will be a St. George's Day parade through Manchester featuring the amazing Rivington Morris and on Sun 16th May the National Trust will be doing a guided walk around Alderley Edge.
Phew. That's it!
Love and dyslexic typing,

Sad news.
Due to a family bereavement the Clarian Faeries Moot on the 25th January has had to be cancelled.
I'd like to take this opportunity to offer Mel and Nick our deepest sympathies on behalf of Sara, myself and all the attendees at Radcliffe.
Love,
Seán

January Announcements
Hi folks
Well done to those two brave souls who managed to get to us (walking and on public transport) on Tuesday night. That was the quietest moot we've had for quite some time.
And to those who decided not to risk the roads and pavements - frankly, I don't blame you one bit. They were terrifying then and they're still scary now. We'd rather have all our friends in their proper shapes than mangled in bits all over the north west.
The Next Two Moots
Anywho . . . here's what's coming up.
On the 9th February there'll be a talk by Bridget on the not-as-Jewish-as-you-might-think Book of Esther and festival of Purim.
Daniel has claimed the 9th March for a night of psychometry. Hopefully we'll have safer conditions by then.
We've also got plenty of open spaces from April onwards, so if you want to request or to do a moot just ask!
Coming Up.
It's the Wassail on Saturday (16th Jan)! Please feel free to bring apple-based produce if you can, and we're happy to take any old firewood off your hands. Please definitely do bring your hats and voices. 8pm in our back garden. See you there.
On the 22nd January we'll be taking a trip to Ara to celebrate your host's birthday. Anyone who wants to join us will be most welcome. Here's what it's all about
Pan Tavern are having a roving moot in Wigan on the 20th January and an ImBolg ritual in Chorley on the 2nd February. You can find out the details here.
Our lovely friends at Clarian Faeries are starting their own moot in Westhoughton. The first one will be on the 25th January (Monday) and all about wassailling traditions. If you don't know them already you can contact them via their website (or just ask us and we'll put you in touch)
Finally, Marsden in West Yorkshire will be holding its annual ImBolg fire festival on the 6th February. It's certainly worth a look.
See y'all at the Wassail, I hope.
Love,
Seán
