BEALTAINE! We want your views!

[Suzie]

OK people, as the pagans (and hopefully some non-pagans) among you will know, Bealtaine shall soon be upon us! As one of the cornerstones of the pagan year, this shall be cause for much merrymaking and general tomfoolery.

We plan, ideally, to make this event the KUPOS version of Karnage. We want to have ridiculous amounts of mead, a nice big roaring [skinny dip] and even a barbecue.

Additionally, however, we want YOUR views on things you would like to see at our big Bealtaine bash! Whether it's naked dancing around a maypole or throwing Dave in the lake (note the committee does not endorse Dave-tossing of any kind).

But yeah, feel free to post all ideas and suggestions below, and eagerly await further details!

Start crossing your fingers now and hope for good weather.

I was thinking we could go for a KUPOS curry. There's an awesome restaurant in Newcastle where you can take your own booze along. The food is awesome, when we're done we could go along to a pub or something. It's not very traditionally pagan but then very little is given the huge variety of pagan and occult worship in the world.

A KUPOS curry! Hahaha good plan though, I love curry. It could be a good back up plan if we had shit weather.

[hordriss]

I think it would be a good night out and like I say I can vouch for the quality at this place, it's awesome.

[Suzie]

I believe you, its more that I know Iain and Charlotte have already bought a charcoal barbecue and probably want to use it.

[hordriss]

That's cool, we can make the curry a seperate thing for the end of the year or something like that, but again, if we deffinately want a BBQ it may not be on Beltane itself, depending on the weather.

how about Curry and stuff, we can Microwave it at Horwood, foil it and then quickly run down to skinny dip and give it an extra heat there.


also meal would be fab

[hordriss]

Nah, microwave curry sucks arse.

[zakeeya]

no...like cook it all before take out or such, microwave it just to keep it warm..not actual microwave curry

[Suzie]

Noooo we're not having microwave curry at a bealtaine social, let's keep it in the real world.

[zakeeya]

truesy

[Suzie]

we're gonna have a real barbecue like real pagans, savvy?

[hordriss]

Not like real pagans, I my digestive system free of lethal bacteria.

On a side note, have just watched a classic Doctor Who all about pagan stuff and set around Beltane, called the Daemons, awesome story.

[Suzie]

ZOMG MUST WATCH!

[hordriss]

Also, there is an old black and white one with the first Doctor, where the Doctor drinks meade, from a horn, at a bonfire!
