February Announcements

Good morning everybody and welcome to the announcements page!

On behalf of everybody who came on Tuesday I'd like to thank Bridget for her fascinating talk on Esther, Purim and the Pagan roots of many Jewish traditions. Oy gevalt, 'twas extremely good.

The Next Two Moots

On the 9th March Daniel will be doing a talk (and possibly some practical stuff) on Psychometry.

Linda will be taking over on 5th April to tell us all about her new book, "Lancashire's Sacred Landscape: From Prehistory to the Viking Age" (she's the editor) which is due to be published this month.

We're also considering making you (Yes, you!) do some work in May with a moot entitled, "What is your path?". Or something like that!

The moots from June to October are now open to anyone who wants one. So, if you want to do a moot or request something specific please let us know and we'll see what we can sort out.

Coming up.

I'd like to express my gratitude to Linda, both for supplying many of the events mentioned here and also for writing them down. I couldn't keep up!

Today (11th Feb) and on Monday 1st of March there will be some rather interesting talks at Manchester University. Today's is called "Viking Excavations in Iceland" and the one in March is "Wrath in Anglo-Saxon Britain" They'll be held in the Samuel Alexander building, but we recommend contacting the university yourself for any further details.

Pan Tavern will be holding their roving moot this month at the Man & Scythe on Churchgate in Bolton on Saturday 20th Feb. 8pm onwards, I believe. This could prove most interesting.

On Tuesday 23rd Feb Clarian Faeries will be restarting their own moot in Westhoughton. If you're interested let us know and we'll put you in touch with Mel and Nick. And if anyone could remind us of the subject I'd be most grateful.

If you're in Preston on the 26th Feb pop into Blackwell's. They are hosting our own Linda's book launch that evening. You never know, you could spot a famous author!

All being well (we still need to confirm this though) the Bolton Moot will re-open on Monday 1st March at the Hen & Chickens. Fingers are crossed for Michelle's return to excellent health.

On Friday the 5th March Shared Earth are having a ceilidh at St. Mary's Hall in Horwich to raise funds for this year's Pagancon.

Chorlton's Big Green Festival is on again this year, starting at 11am on Saturday 27th March at St. Clement's church. More details to follow next month.

Looking ahead

Just a couple of dates for your diary
On Sunday 25th April there will be a St. George's Day parade through Manchester featuring the amazing Rivington Morris and on Sun 16th May the National Trust will be doing a guided walk around Alderley Edge.

Phew. That's it!
