Hi y'all and a huge Thank You to Daniel for his emergency rescue of last night's Moot with Pagan Theology. That fair got us going!
The Next Two Moots
Due to unforeseen difficulties Tina wasn't able to do last night's moot, so instead she's swapped with Linda and will be doing Reflexology on the 13th of October.
And then we're back to our annual Moots, so we'll be having the Storytelling session on the 10th of November. Get thinking now folks and you'll be able to come up with a doozy by then.
Coming Up
For those who like their music and dance traditional, Rivington Morris will be performing as part of the Gorton Rushcart celebration on Saturday the 12th of September and with some other teams at the Olde Man & Scythe and around Bolton on the 19th.
Also on the 19th is Pixie and Daniel's Equinox party at their house. Bring food, drink, instruments but most importantly yourself! If you need the details please contact them, or if you can't then give us a shout instead.
Looking Ahead
Our Samhain fancy-dress party this year is going to be on Friday the 30th of October. The theme has been decided too - Harry Potter. Wands at the ready!
We're also going to ARA (yes really this time!) on Friday 27th November. It's a special party to celebrate the end of a great friend's chemotherapy. If that ain't worth a night out, then nothing is.
And Finally
The Knitting Noras Naked Knitting charity calender for Christies is out on the 18th of September. Watch THIS SPACE to find out where you can buy it.
Lastly, I've had an email from Ceri of Lune Pagans in Lancaster asking me to advertise their Moot. Happy to oblige:
The moot is on the 2nd Friday of the month (that's Friday 11th September) at the Three Mariners Pub, Bridge Lane. Start time is 8:30. There's a Yahoo group if you want any further info, or you can just turn up and look for their sign.
And that's that. Short and sweet this month.
Love,
Seán

August Announcements.
Hi folks and thanks to so many people for turning up on Tuesday night. I believe we managed to squeeze 23 lovely Pagans (if you count Trev - an honorary Pagan) into our living room, and so I'd like to declare August 2009 as the Official Biggest Moot Yet. We need a bigger house!
Special thanks go to Rook for a fascinating and very informative talk on the origins and uses of Tarot, and to Lesley for suggesting and contacting him. From the reaction I think we all enjoyed it immensely. I certainly did.
The Next Two Moots
Rook took over on Tuesday because we've had to reschedule things due to family illnesses and such so:
The Reflexology Moot by Tina (and Daniel & Helen?) will now be on Tuesday 8th September, and Linda's Moot will be on Tuesday 13th October. We still don't know what Linda's going to do yet!
Coming Up
It's a bit short notice, but if you're going to Andrea's '70s themed housewarming party - see you tonight!
We're taking a trip to ARA on the Friday 28th August. Anyone who fancies joining us there is likely to get seriously cuddled and danced at. Jane has promised to come round here first and do our make-up and will be crashing for the night - which means we've room for one more in the taxi, so long as you can cope with sleeping on an air bed in our living room.
(ADDENDUM! I've just discovered ARA's happening on the 21st so we can't go! Bugger, bugger, bugger! Anybody fancy Jilly's on the 28th instead? Or another option?)
We'll be having our annual pre-Equinox Bramble Ramble on Saturday 5th September. Meet at our house at noon, bring a picnic and we can make a whole day of it.
Monday 7th Sept sees Jonny (ex of New Aeon Books) giving a talk on Voodoo (please excuse spelling!) at the Manchester Pagan Wheel Moot. This is at the Waldorf on Gore Street, it starts at 8pm and there's a small charge for room hire.
If Manchester's too far you could always support the Bolton Moot at the Hen & Chickens on the same night.
Finally, for the folkies amongst us Gorton Rushcart is happening in Gorton (oddly enough) on Saturday 12th September. There will even be music and dance from the famous Rivington Morris (plug, plug).
Looking Ahead
We're considering having our annual Samhain fancy-dress party on Friday 30th October. Any suggestions will be most welcome.
We've also been told that Circle of Pagans in Liverpool will be having their do on the Saturday at Casa Bistro. More details to follow, I'm sure.
That'll do for now. See you soon.
Love and the destruction of germs,
Seán

July Announcements
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
