Local Groups Report
It’s nice to see so many local groups still flourishing and new groups coming into being. It shows the level of interest in astrology is high and that people still want to meet others who ‘talk the same language. This year’s annual AA conference is an ideal place to do just that.
As you may know the theme of the conference is "Astrology - Then and Now", looking at astrology both ancient and modern and it is being held at the University of Hertfordshire, in Hatfield. If you’ve never been to an AA conference before, this is the perfect opportunity to sample the unique atmosphere; there is something for everyone, whether you’re a new student of astrology or an experienced professional astrologer. You can book your place at conference online on our website at www.astrologicalassociation.com - you’ll get the most out of the conference by being a residential delegate and taking advantage of our full package, including all accommodation and food for the entire three days - but you can also come along for just a single day at a very reasonable price too.
As usual we there will be a local group’s area in the exhibition hall so do please bring along any publicity material you may have for your group. Conference delegates come from all around the country to attend so it is an ideal opportunity to show just what your group is doing, and maybe pick up some new members as well.
A reminder that amongst other things the silent auction raises money to fund the free conference place for a local groups member – if you want to help then perhaps your group could donate an item to be auctioned. Contact Komilla Sutton at komilla.sutton@btinternet.com if you decide to do this.
I look forward to meeting some of you at the conference 1st until the 3rd of September 2006.
