Yay, slightly late again! Sorry.
Special thanks this month goes to our volunteer Moot secretary, the lovely Womble, who worked all the announcements out for me. I didn't even have to think!
The Next Two Moots
On the 8th Feb Bridget will be doing a wonderful interactive talk on Multiple Intelligences.
After that we're open to offers. If you want to do a Moot, or even request something don't hesitate to ask us.
Coming Up
January
We're having our annual Wassail party on Saturday 15th Jan (that's tomorrow folks), 8pm at Radcliffe Moot Towers. Don't forget your hat!
On Weds 19th there will be a Full Moon Fire Party at Lockside Road, Preston Dock from 6pm onwards. I don't appear to have a postcode, but we can put you in touch with people who know where that is.
Spikey's 40th birthday curry is at the Nawab, on Market St, Westhoughton from 7:30pm. Please could you let him know if you're coming so he can let the restaurant know how many are going to invade.
The Bolton Moot is at the Olde Man & Scythe at 8pm on Sat 22nd. Beware, the cider is dangerous!
We're going to Ara to celebrate my birthday by dressing up as kinky goths and dancing in a silly way. Please do come and join us on Fri 28th. Doors open at 9pm, bring your own drinkies.
February
Marsden's ImBolg Fire Festival is happening on Sat 5th. All details are here, and it's excellent.
Manchester Museum on Oxford Road (M13 9PL) are giving a lecture called "Cursus Awareness: the other Stonehenge Monument" from 3:00-4:30pm on Weds 9th. We've heard some very good reports about these lectures.
March
On Sat 5th Shared Earth (we think) are hosting a Potter Party at Preston Rugby Club, starting at 7pm. It's a fundraiser for Pagancon, with entertainment and a buffet laid on. Tickets are £15 a chuck and available from Tasha who can be contacted here.
Finally, Bolton Historical Association are giving a lecture at the Parish hall on Silverwell St. It's on Mon 7th from 7:30 - 9:30pm and it's called ... (wait for it) ... "Scratching Fanny of Cock Lane".
No, really!
See you tomorrow (if you're coming)
Love,
Seán

December announcements
The last moot of the year and quite a success, if a short one. I'd like to thank everyone who managed to get to us, and for letting me get to bed as early as possible considering the horrible time I had to get up the following morning.
I'd also like to congratulate Sara for being the Moot's official clever-pants, and winning her own wine (again!) *sigh*
The Next Two Moots
On 11th January we'll be having our annual games night. We're not sure exactly what that's going to involve yet, but Ed's said he may be able to get something called Once Upon a Story to us, and Womble's offered to bring along Mind Trap. Sounds good so far.
On 8th February Bridget will be presenting a talk on Multiple Intelligences. She did this before, several years ago and I can vouch for the fact it's very, very good.
We've also been asked for something resembling a "tree-recognition" moot. We're thinking about that as a summer-field-trip type option.
Coming Up
From the 7th - 24th December the Triangle shopping centre in Manchester (what used to be the Corn Exchange) is hosting a photography exhibition called The Way Through the Woods - ancient and evocative landscapes of the North West. It's open from 10am to 7pm and, even better, it's free.
On Friday 17th December Stone The Crows Border Morris team will be performing a traditional Mummers play. They'll be starting at 8pm at The Gables in Leyland, going on to the Royal Oak at Whittle-le-Woods and finishing at Top Lock, near Wheelton.
The Bolton Yule Moot will be happening at the Man & Scythe on Saturday 18th December. It starts at 8pm but it's likely that the pub will be pretty busy, so Hawky has suggested people try to get there a bit earlier. Purple Emma has promised to sit in the front room of the pub from about 4pm and snarl in her scariest way at any muggles who turn up.
Actually, that would probably work on me!
Leiwolf (Ashley) Crook is organising an open Yule ritual at Clayton Brook (between Chorley and Preston) on the evening of Sunday 19th December. Details from Lei, but if you don't know him we can put you in touch. It'll have to be through Facebook, though.
Megalithic Tours are running a Solstice Sunrise trip to Castlerigg stone circle on the morning of Tuesday 21st December. Details are available from Linda Sever, and if you don't know Linda the same deal applies as with Lei.
One the same evening we've been told there's a full moon fire party at Lockside Road, Preston Docks. It's organised by Pele's Pyromancers (I think) and starts at 9pm.
Looking Ahead
Our Wassail Party is now booked for Saturday 15th January, and if anyone fancies helping me to celebrate my birthday we'll be having an evening at Ara on (we think) Friday 28th January.
Lastly, Marsden ImBolg Fire Festival is on Saturday 5th February, starting at 7pm. We understand there's a very good train service, which sounds a lot better than trying to drive across the moors in fog thicker than a Heathen's favourite real ale.
And that'll do for now. See y'all soon.

November Announcements.
Good morning you lovely people, and thanks to all those who made last night's Moot and told their excellent stories.
Here's what's coming up.
The Next Two Moots
On the 14th December we'll be having our annual quiz. Twenty-five questions (because Sara said so), set by me (because nearly everybody else said so) with multiple choice answers (because I said so!). There's even a small prize for the winner.
If you fancy a question or two on a specific subject, thus giving yourself a slight advantage, you have but to ask.
On 11th January there will be our annual games night. We're open to suggestions, folks.
Coming Up
Tonight Wednesday 13th November, if you've any energy left, there's a Heathen Moot by a group called Salgofnir's Call. It's at the Angel Pub in Manchester and starts at 7:30.
If you're feeling environmental there's a litter-pick going on at Eatock Lodges in Westhoughton on Sat 13th November. It's from 10:30am onwards and here's a postcode so you can find it: BL5 2SQ
On Fri 19th November we'll be gothing it up at Ara. It's on the 3rd Friday this month because of an event in the church. Anybody who fancies it is most welcome to join us.
For die-hard folkies there's a folk music workshop at The Crown at Worthington on Sat 20th November. It costs £25 but there's food laid on and it goes on all day (literally) from midday to midnight.
For the more lightweight of us there's the Bolton Moot at the Man & Scythe that same evening, 8pm onwards.
Finally for November there's an astrology workshop run by Shared Earth in Preston happening on Sunday 28th from 11am to 4pm. If you want to go you'll have to get in touch fast (by 14th Nov - tomorrow!) with your birth details and £10 for a chart to be made up. Food is usually laid on at these shindigs and you can find full details here: shared_earth@yahoo.co.uk.
Last of all, Jonathan hasn't told us yet but Manchester Pagan Wheel usually has a quiz night in December. That moot will be at The Waldorf on Monday 6th December.
And that'll do for now. See you in December.
Love,
Seán
