Oxonmoot 2006 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

narfforc · 09-19-2006, 12:01 PM

I've moved this conversation over to the Oxonmoot thread Lal, as it isn't really relevent on the other. The springmoot is something that is officially TS, this Yulemoot is normally done locally by one of the Smials, we are trying to do a bigger version up north. The main reason is that the TS is very south-centric, which is fair enough, for some strange reason there is more of them, and I often wonder why that is. Why we do not have more members up north does vex me, it is almost a self admission that all we think of is flat caps and whippets.

I despair of my Northern Kindred.

Good idea!

I mean, I often find meself spending half the morning chasing our whippet up the back ginnels and tripping over urchins sucking on a bit of tripe, but I never thought of myself as that different to our wine quaffing Southern chums (

) until I noticed how hard some of them at Oxonmoot found it to understand what I was saying. There's the other thing that of course a northern moot would be easier to get to. I don't know why there aren't more Northern members of TS though. Maybe there are but they find it awkward to make the journey to Oxford so never get to Oxonmoot?

Well I know there are a few Downers who realise that the M1 isn't cobbled passed The Watford Gap, so where are you Northerners?, put the whippet in the kennels for few days, polish your clogs and get your best suit out the Pawn Shop, come and meet some crazy people.

Past Watford maybe but not I think past Brum

Mithalwen's not far wrong about the M1 past Sheffield. It's like the surface of the moon.

Personally, I get befuddled if I roam much further north than the Thames ...
