The Winter Meeting was held on December 10th 2011 at the home of Vollund

In attendance were: Guthrum, Volund, Comyn, Sabha, Fionnala, and Fiachra.

A brief blessing by the Druid

WHAT NEWS:

Fiachra has been extremely busy at work (not fun). He continues work on his project of publishing Tale of the Genji.

The Chieftain and the Brewey hosted this year's Imbolc feast at their roundhouse, welcoming the Clann and guests for a grand feast in honor of Brigit. The wise decision made by the Chieftain to clear snow and ice the week before was revealed as the guests arrived and all were able to make their way without serious injury and the Druid had clear and open space enough to fulfill his vow to cook the meat out of doors despite the elements.

Thanks to all for another great (if mellow) event. The feast was excellent (as always) - the sausages from our recent sausage making were a great compliment to the wonderful game birds of various kinds provided by Brogan (I liked the bacon wrap! I managed to remain unscathed by my McSorley's clone which wasn't dented too heavily due largely to the vast array of meads that were circulating, and perhaps only slightly less to Momus' absence?

I just wanted to take a minute to comment on the Feast of Imbolc that was held this past weekend.

First, the new venue is fantastic. I see it as a MAJOR upgrade over the old hall in Patchogue. The building is great, we had a great view of the sunset over the bay and it was nice that the heat in the building worked great. Also, the kitchen was excellent. It was nice to be able to fit more than 2-3 people at a time and have plenty of room for people to cook and clean all at the same time.

Wow
That was one hell of an Imbolc. Im still burnt out from it all and suffereing from sensory overload. I am way to tired to list my thanks individually to each and every one of you who all made this event one of the best... so I think for now I'll say: Great job Tuatha de Bhriain and thankyou Silver Oak for being part.
