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:

Account Unavailable Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm getting paranoid now! See y'all soon.

Love (and hugs full of germs)
Seán

January 2009 - Announcements

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

Guitar Offered

We've just acquired a nice shiny new nylon stringed guitar.
