A massive thank you to everyone who worked so so hard to make the weekend go smoothly despite the dreadful dreadful weather - It was my first Mercian Gathering and I thoroughly enjoyed it

The rituals were fantastic and very moving, talks brilliant and the music amazing

Thank you once again and we look forward to next year (hopefully with better weather!)

Likewise. My first year and I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who made me feel welcome and especially to the lovely people in the Cafe who kept a frozen Viking filled with tea.

Would be more than happy to attend next year if we are invited back, failing that I'll have to buy a ticket! (Hopefully I'd be able to make it to some of the demonstrations and discussion groups then)

I'm a very happy newbie!

You were the first festival, pagan or otherwise and I loved every damp minute of it!

I have no idea why I didn't attend pagan festivals years ago???!

It was a wild time and my only complaint is that I couldn't attend more than one talk at the same time!!!!

I'll be back!

and with far less stuff with me - who needs food with such a great cafe!

Well done everyone!

Like so many others, I want to say a HUGE thank you to the many people involved in organising and running this event!

I had a brilliant time and will DEFINITELY be coming again! It was wet, cold, muddy and AWESOME! The whole event had amazing vibe and I felt so comfortable there.

Blessings!

Thanks for all your lovely comments. There are only 12 of us who organise the whole thing, and it's a lot of work, but well worth it when people go away with smiles on their faces.

Still can't get some of my clothes clean and my boots will never be the same again!! Life long momentos I think of an interesting weekend.

First Mercian, volunteered too, some lovely people about, learnt abit too. Loved the Runes talk with Nick! So informative and real! Will be looking out for him again, such a lovely person too!

Rituals were interesting to watch, didn't get involved myself, they weren't for me, but always interesting to see different interpretations. Thats what I really did like about the weekend, so many different oppinions and ideas, so many interesting perceptions and and general discussions going on. I just loved it!!

If I'm back from my travels around the world maybe I shall see you all again next year! and who knows, maybe I'll make it to the Flute making workshop next time!!
