Local Groups Report
I have always said that there is a lot of talent amongst local astrology group members. One way to showcase that talent is to submit an article to Transit (transit@astrologicalassociation.com) or to The AA Journal via (gerasime@patilas.freeserve.co.uk) Editors of both these publications are always looking for quality articles, so why not get writing and share your knowledge with all of us?
It’s great to see that new local groups are still being founded. The Oxford Astrology Group is one. If you live in the area why not join them? Contact Jackie Taylor via thezoo2005@btinternet.com. They have a web page at www.wuwu.com/oag
If you live in the Bucks area and you are interested in getting together with fellow astrologers in order to start a local group then please contact Wendy Stacey at wendya@psilink.co.uk
More updates: New contact details for The Plymouth Group: Robert.PAG@blueyonder.co.uk; they also have a website: www.plymouthastrogroup.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
The Suffolk Astrological Society now meet on the First Wednesday of every month. Full details on their website www.suffolk-astrological-society.co.uk
