Update - HELP!

Firebug needed - apply within.

Hi All.
Due to a slight miscalculation on our part we've realised that our costumes are going to make it all but impossible for us to light and maintain the Samhain bonfire. Oops!

Consequently we're looking for someone to be the official Party Pyromaniac, which might mean coming a little earlier to get it going and then keeping it fed throughout the night.

Could anyone who wants the job please apply in writing, blog comment, email, text message, phone call, MySpace message, Facebook message, talking drum, psychic vibration or just plain tell us.

In return we'll love you forever, give you food and drinks - and you get to play with fire!

Thanks!

Love,
Seán

October Announcements.

Sorry I'm a tad tardy with this update, boys and girls (and all stages in between). Not been too well don'cha know. Anyway:

The Next Two Moots:
Our annual storytelling Moot will be held on Tu 11th November.
For those who've never done this before the premise is very simple - bring a story! It can be someone else's or one you've written yourself, it can be well known or obscure, it can be modern or incredibly ancient. All we ask is that it takes no more than ten minutes in the telling and that it's vaguely Pagan-related.

Our annual quiz will be on Tu 9th Dec this year. This is how it works:
Everybody needs to bring five questions on their pet topic (with five answers, duh!). We then go around the room in turn asking our questions and answering everyone else's. When we've done that we go around again giving the answers and checking our own.
One point per correct answer, the winner gets a bottle of our home-brewed wine! (Trad joke, "Second prize - two bottles!" Hoho!)

Other Stuff
Our pal Andrea is having her housewarming party on Sat 25th October. Anyone who hasn't had their invite and wants to go and marvel at how young her boyfriend looks should contact us and we'll pass the message on.

Our own SAMHAIN FANCY-DRESS PARTY is on Saturday 1st November. The theme is Myths and Legends, which gives you plenty to work on. Be there or be square, and here's a teaser for encouragement - the details of Sara's costume are a state secret, but I can tell you all now: it's exceptional! Really. I mean it. I mean, mine's pretty good but her's is just. . .

On Monday 3rd Nov, our chum Martin Singer will be giving a talk on Odinism at the Pagan Wheel in Manchester. It's from 8pm at the Waldorf on Gore Street, near Piccadilly. There's a nominal charge for the room so please take a little extra cash.

Our friend Anne, the "Lawyer Girl", is having a fireworks party at her house on Sat 8th Nov, anytime from 5pm until people go home. Again, if your invitation has somehow not got to you, contact us and we'll pass on the message.

And now my favourite subject, bare naked ladies! The Coven in Wigan is producing a Witchy Nude Calendar to sell in the shop. The photo shoot will be during the day on Sun 9th Nov. Contact the Coven for more information. Sorry boys, it's a girls-only do (at least at the moment).

And Some Advanced Notices
On Sat 29th Nov our small-and-perfectly formed friend Helen the Audio Pixie will be having her birthday party. I'm far too much of a gentleman to say which birthday, but I do believe it's one of those milestone ones. The venue is Daniel and Helen's house. Bring an instrument! (Trust me, I forgot at the last do - never again!)

Finally, Jonathan (sp?) has told us that the Pagan Wheel's annual quiz will be on Monday 1st Dec, venue as above. He says that he's writing the questions himself this year, but he promises to be nice!

And, unless I'm less than my usual perfect self who never, ever makes mistakes or forgets things, th-th-th-th-that's all folks!

Love and inconvenient thespianism,
Seán
