Title: Winter Solstice Meetup
Post by: RedLeader on December 08, 2009
The Winter Solstice (shortest day) is the Mon 21st December and I'm pondering whether we should really all be outdoors doing something preferrably involving cooking meat on an open fire - we don't have dress like pagan druids (unless you want to of course)!

I appreciate it can be a complicated time to get away from commitments but I'm game to try if anyone else is!

To be honest, I hadn't really thought of what to do specifically. Wasn't even definitely thinking of an overnighter. We could just do an evening in Donard Forest or suchlike - throw up the tarp, light a fire, cook sausages etc.

Sounds like a plan, count me in though I will have to check with the boss but hopefully there shouldn't be any problems.

Think it's a bit late in the day for this one - real shame since we have some actual snow! We'll have a crack at sorting something for the next equinox instead.
