LOCAL ASTROLOGY GROUP NEWS by Glenda Cole

Hello again from the local groups’ corner. The AA’s new initiatives for local groups are coming on apace. We now have an advice pack available for those considering starting a new group. The advice pack was put together with the help of some long running local groups from around the country; it contains some excellent tips for beginning and promoting groups. Contact the AA office if you would like a copy.

The speakers list is also completed; it is included in with the advice pack. Once again this list was put together with the help of local groups who recommended the speakers who are on the list. Both the speakers list and the advice pack are good examples of how we can all work together to promote astrology at a local level.

I am still attempting to make sure that all the groups listed on the AA’s web page are current. As I have emailed and sent letters to all of the groups listed I will assume that a group is no longer currently running if I haven't had a response by the end of conference in October. Otherwise please do keep us updated with the details of your group so that we can help to promote it via Transit magazine and the Astrological Association’s web pages. Please send your details to Glenda at astrogroups@gmail.com

I do hope I will be able to meet some of you at the Astrological Association's 2005 conference in York. There will be 80 sessions with some top quality astrologers. The full timetable and speakers list is on the website at: www.astrologer.com/aanet During the conference there will also be some exciting news for local groups, so don't miss the meeting for local groups which is scheduled for 6:15 pm Saturday 1st October. This is also an opportunity for you to share your ideas and give us feedback.

Don't forget the AA are going to provide a dedicated area in the exhibition hall for local groups. This is a great opportunity to let the rest of the astrological world know of your groups existence so why not bring along publicity material to advertise your group. Finally there is one more great way you can promote your group, donate an item to the silent auction on behalf of your group! If you want to do this please contact Komilla Sutton (c/o the Astrological Association).

There are many local astrology groups throughout the UK and Ireland and the AA directory is a great place to start for those looking to meet up with like minded enthusiasts. Check out our website too: www.astrologer.com/aanet

The directory isn't complete, if you'd like your group listed just drop an email to me, Glenda Cole, at astrogroups@gmail.com. Please include the name of your group, a contact name, an email address and web site URL if you have one and a brief description of your group and its activities.

Please note that this is a service provided by the Astrological Association of Great Britain to promote astrology. We have no formal affiliation with any of these groups and we are not responsible for the activities of any of the groups listed.
