April Announcements

A bleary Good Morning from Radcliffe Moot Towers.  Thanks to everyone who turned up last night, to those poor souls who were forced to do silly things by me and if you weren't there, you missed my singing!

Moots!

The next moot on 14th May will be much more sensible because we have wild woman extraordinaire, Edwina, taking us for a wild herb ramble.  To catch as much daylight as possible, we'll be starting the moot an hour earlier than usual at 7pm.  I've been on one of Edwina's rambles and can honestly say it's both a treat and an education.

After that we don't really have anything planned, so we're open to suggestions, ideas, requests, threats ...
We have had a couple of suggestions for some undecided points in the future.  One is a massage moot, concentrating on things like hands and feet as much as backs and shoulders, possibly with a sideline discussion about touching and personal space.
The other suggestion is for a Blue Peter style planting and seed-sowing moot using up-cycled materials.

Whaddya think, folks?

Coming Up 

If you're a vegetablist like me you might be interested in the Northern Vegan Festival, which is happening this Saturday 13th April at Sachas Hotel, Tib St, Manchester.  it starts at 10am and goes on all day.  Entrance will cost you a whole pound!

After that, of course, there's our annual Wicker Man Bealtaine Party.  Hoorah!
It's on Saturday 27th April, here at Radcliffe Moot Towers and festivities start at 8pm.  We don't need any firewood this year but we can always do with maypole dancers and bonfire singists.
See you then!

Love and burny things,
Seán

March Announcements.

Hello everybody from Radcliffe Moot Towers which is currently being filled by the most beautiful Welsh music ever.  Here are the announcements from last night's moot.

Next Two

Due to work commitments I had to postpone my Dionysian Spirit talk last night, so I'm doing it next month - Tuesday 9th April - assuming, of course, that nobody gives me any paying work on that day!

On 14th May Edwina is going to take us for a wild food/herb walk.  So we'll have enough time before it goes dark we'll be starting an hour early at 7pm.  Should be good.

Other Stuff

There's a "bedroom tax" (under-occupancy rules for housing benefit) protest in Manchester.  If you want to go it starts at 1pm in Piccadilly Gardens this Saturday 16th April.

For the vegetablists among us, the Northern Vegan Festival will be happening at Sachas Hotel on Tib Street on Saturday 13th April.  Doors open at 10am and it goes on until 6pm.

Finally, we have a date for our Bealtaine Party - Saturday 27th April, 8pm onwards.  Bring your best Wicker Man singing voice!

Back to the music.
Hwyl!
Seán  xx

January Announcements

Woohoo!  On time for once!

Hello and thanks to everybody who came round last night to fling Poo and go through Therapy afterwards.

We only have a few announcements, and here they are:

Our annual Wassail party will be on Saturday 19th January from 8pm.
Please do come and help us shout at the apple trees.  Any donations of apple-based victuals and/or firewood will be much appreciated.  Don't forget your hat!

ARA is happening on my birthday this year, so that's where we're going for a good old Goth-Out.  It's on Friday 25th January.  Please contact us for details if you fancy joining us.

The next moot will be taken over by Pete on 12th February.  He'll be talking about a trip to India, showing a film and hosting a discussion on spirituality and mountains.

I'll be doing my Dionysian Spirit talk on 12th March, and Bridget has offered to do her Radcliffe Zodiac thingy at some future juncture we've yet to decide on.
We still need more though.  If you want to do a Moot, suggest a Moot or request a Moot please let us know.

Th-th-th-that's all folks!
Love,
Seán
