Samhain 2026

 We have decided to celebrate Samhain on Saturday November 7th this year rather than October 31st, as it's really a season instead of a single day. This should also reduce conflicts with other events. I'll have more details soon, but as usual it will be gather before sunset, and there will be a Zoom component.

Speaking of Zoom, our thanks to all the folk who participated in our October retreat last weekend. Good speakers, and lots of good discussion!
