BIJEENKOMST MET
SPECIALE GASTEN TORC & IDIRCHEO
MEETING WITH SPECIAL GIESTS TORC & IDIRCHEO
3 MAART 2006 / MARCH 3rd, 2006
(English report and pictures follow below)
Deze bijeenkomst was in vele opzichten een
mijlpaal in de nog jonge geschiedenis van de Nervii Nemeton én de New Order of Druids.
Het was de grootste bijeenkomst tot op heden (9 aanwezige personen in totaal) en ook de
eerste keer dat meer dan 50% van de Council van N.O.D. een persoonlijke bijeenkomst had.
Speciale gasten waren Torc, uit Nederland, en
Idircheo, uit de Verenigde Staten (die tijdelijk in Ierland voor studies verblijft). De
Council kwam eerst samen in het restaurant van "Celtic Ireland" aan de ronde
tafel, waar de beruchte "spoon balancing test" (balanceer een lepel op je neus)
werd gehouden. Aanwezige council leden waren Phoenix, Willow Mist, ROMA AETERNAE,
Messalina, Torc en Idircheo. Verder werd er gepraat over de toekomstplannen van de N.O.D.,
de toekomstige affiliatie met The Druid Network, toekomstige deelname aan fairs enz.
Nadien ging de Council van de ene pub naar de
andere, m.a.w. naar de Irish Times Pub waar de maandelijkse bijeenkomst plaats vond, waar
ook Ambiorix the Gaul, Ravenlady en Lustmort aanwezig waren. Idircheo gaf hier een woordje
uitleg over de toekomstplannen van de Grove of Dana College, de Bardic Course en de Ovates
Course. Ondanks de iets te luide muziek, was het een gezellige en geslaagde avond die
uitliep tot na middernacht!

This meeting was in many ways a milestone in
the still rather young history of the Nervii Nemeton and the New Order of Druids. It was
the largest meeting to date (9 people present in total), and also the first time that more
than 50% of the Council of N.O.D. had a meeting in person.
Special guests were Torc, from the
Netherlands, and Idircheo, from the US (temporarily studying in Ireland). The Council
gathered first in the restaurant of "Celtic Ireland" at the round table, where
the famous "Spoon Balancing Test" (balancing a spoon on your nose) was kept.
Present members were Phoenix, Willow Mist, ROMA AETERNAE, Messalina, Torc and Idircheo.
The future plans of the N.O.D. were discussed, the future affiliaition with The Druid
Network and future participation in fairs etc.
Afterwards, the Council went from one pub to
the next, in other words, to the Irish Times Pub where the monthly meeting took place,
where also Ambiorix the Gaul, Ravenlady and Lustmort were present. Idircheo explained a
bit more about the future plans of the Grove of Dana College, the Bardic Course and the
Ovates Course. Despite the somewhat loud music, it was a nice and succesfull evening, that
went on until after midnight!
