Religion with Martin Amis

Our friend Andrea has just sent us a rather interesting link.

Martin Amis (yes, him!), who is working as the University of Manchester's Professor of Creative Writing, will be holding a public debate on Religion and Literature in Manchester.
It's on the evening of Tuesday 1st July, and costs a fiver (or a concessionary rate). The full details can be found here.

It certainly sounds fascinating.

Also:
In other news - and we'll announce this again nearer the time - we've decided on the date for our annual Lughnasadh Whinberry Walk up Holcombe Hill. It will be on Sunday 3rd August, meeting at 11am. Further details to follow.

And finally:
While we've got you ("Who, me?"-"Yes, you!") in our sights, if you have any interesting announcements, activities or embarrassing personal habits to share, please do.
We're always on the lookout for speakers and activities at the Moot, or alternatively if there's something you want to happen at the Moot, then please let us know.

We can be contacted through the official channels, like tapping us on the shoulder and asking. Well okay, there's email too.

Love,
Seán

June Announcements

Hooray, our first proper post!

Here are the announcements from the June moot (minus the things that have happened already - well, duh!)

Upcoming Moots
The next two moots will be on 8th July and 12th August respectively.

Daniel (The Astral Pilgrim) has jumped in to rescue us in an emergency in July - thanks Daniel - so we don't actually know what he'll be talking about. Having said that, his recent talk on Welsh Mythology was pretty good, so expectations deserve to be high.

Linda S. will be taking over the August Moot. She hasn't told us what she's doing yet. We'll find out soon enough, though, I'm sure.

Also
The Loiterers' Resistance Movement's Get Lost festival is still going on in Manchester until 28th June (I think).
Their events are too complicated to post here but if you're interested in Psychogeography, or just want to know what that word means, follow this link.

The Woodspirit Lammas Camp at Silverdale will be on this year from 11th-13 July. Expect a weekend of workshops, talks, music, dance and rather too much alcohol! Our own Sara (Losing the Thread) will be teaching a bellydance workshop this year, plugitty plug.
Let us know if you're interested via the usual email address (it's in that bit on the left, dear!), or just plain ask us and we'll put you in touch with Jacqui and Lissa (apologies for crap spelling) who organise it.

Finally, PaganCon is on again this year.
It's on Saturday 19th July, at Preston Grasshoppers Rugby Club, Lightfoot Lane, Fulwood, Preston. Full details of speakers and such, and ticket prices, can be found here.

I think that's it. See you at the next Moot, if not before.

Love,
Seán

Welcome

Welcome to the new blog for the Radcliffe Moot.

We'll be using this for all our news, announcements and anything else we can think of.

Watch this space!

Love,
Seán
