The Wiccan Federation: East of England Region

Colchester, E4

"They that ever desired me shall ever attain me."

Book of Shadows (1949)

The Colchester Wicca Meetup Group is a common first port of call for those in the Essex who are interested in Wicca. It is run by the Order of the Horse and Moon whose primary coven is the Coven of the Horse and the Moon.

It has the following objectives

1) To allow Wiccans to meet like minded individuals who are interested in the subject.

2) To allow those interested in Wicca to learn more about its practice.

3) To facilitate the practice of Wiccan rites

4) To provide a way for individuals to join a Wiccan coven

The group provides a straightforward access point to the Wiccan tradition and we are dedicated to facilitating access to coven Wicca for all seekers.

Our Order and coven websites are below

http://ootham.wordpress.com

http://covenofthehorseandmoon.wordpress.com/

We plan run a full set of eight Sabbats. Four will be public rites and four are social meetups in pub with training for new members. These can be attended by any member or friend.

We also plan to run some Esbats. They are held on the full moon, and are normally held in private houses. The Order of the Horse and Moon and its associated covens also hold a number of events not on Meetup which are for the members associated with the covens. Although the covens are spiritual groups they are also groups of friends and hold their own gatherings.

We try to avoid bringing members to events in private houses who are unknown to our network unless they are with a friend we know. Additionally we are a group for Wiccans. Our focus is on those seeking to join the Wiccan path. The simply curious are welcome to attend our public events. If you are committed to another spiritual path we will not seek to convert you and there would not be much benefit to you coming to our group.

The group is also limited to the over 21s. We have special arrangements for those who are 20.

Colchester Speakers

Colchester, E4

A small supportive group dedicated to help people improve their public speaking and presentation skills in a safe and friendly environment. New members often say they’ve spent months (sometimes years) hiding from their fear of public speaking. If you decide to join us you will be in the company of people who joined Colchester Speakers Club for the same reasons you are thinking of joining – and who will be developing their public speaking alongside you. *“There are only two types of speaker in the world – the nervous and liars”* Mark Twain. At Colchester Speakers Club we learn from each other and we develop our confidence and speaking skills in a reassuring and supportive environment. Come along and improve your Public Speaking, Presentation and Leadership skills. You will learn useful techniques such as: \- how to introduce yourself to others\, \- how to structure a speech so others can follow what you're saying\, \- how to really mean what you say\, \- how to use gestures as part of a speech\, \- how to vary your voice effectively\, using changes of pace\, pitch and volume\, \- how to put pauses in all the right places \(as Winston Churchill did\)\, \- how to use word pictures to enliven a speech\, \- how to add humour to a speech\, \- how to give a masterpiece\. We're now meeting back at our regular venue: Orchard Baptist Church, 23 Mersea Rd, Colchester CO2 0AE (we're not a religious group but they give us a large space to practise in).

Braintree Social Group

Braintree, E4

Come join the Braintree Social Group! We propose to do walks, meals out, pub visits, picnics, cinema, theatre, games evenings, quizzes and lots more! \*All Members MUST have a Profile picture and name before being approved for the group. The picture must be of you alone and a name. We ask this so that all our organisers can find you at your first meetup if you are lost and you can find us too. It is also for security and makes for a more welcoming atmosphere. **BY JOINING THE GROUP, MEMBERS AGREE THAT THEY ATTEND EVENTS ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED.** There is a one off £5 fee to pay for membership. When making payment please add your name and your location as shown in your meetup profile in the reference field. Please make a £5 bank transfer to: Account name: Braintree Social Group Sort Code: 30-92-16 Account number: 63392060 **By joining our group you are agreeing to abide by our Code of Conduct as listed below:** **CODE OF CONDUCT**  Our group is about friendship and fun. Our organisers willingly give their time to ensure all our members get the most out of the group and it is with this in mind that we have a few simple codes we would expect all of our members to adhere to: 1\. Subscription \- This is just a one off £5\.00 when you join the group and this covers the group's administration\. We would expect all new members to pay this after you have attended your first event\. It would be unfair to make our leadership team have to chase this\, as failure to pay after a reasonable amount of time would result in your membership being put on hold\.  2\. Age range \- Although this group is open to anybody\, it is ideally suited to people aged 40 and above\.  3\. Event booking \- Most of our events are very popular and have large waitlists attached to them\. If you booked one and do not turn up\, or cancel at the very last minute\, it is very disappointing as another member on the waitlist would have happily taken this spot and the organiser can waste large amounts of time waiting for you to arrive\. All you need to do is change your RSVP to 'Not Going'\. We realise that things happen unexpectedly and this is sometimes unavoidable\. However\, if a member consistently does not turn up to events they will automatically be removed from event lists\. Also\, if you do not remove your name from the list or fail to turn up to an event\, you will be marked as a ‘no show’\. If this happens 3 times with no good reason\, you may be asked to leave the group\. 4\. Profile Photo \- We do ask for your profile photograph to be a recognisable likeness of yourself\, as this aids our organisers finding you at busy events\. 5\. Photo and Video \- We all like capturing and uploading memories from many of the fun events we have\. Out of courtesy we would advise you to ensure the subject of your pictures are aware and give you their permission before uploading or tagging them in social media posts\.  6\. Unsolicited use of the database \- As a group we are able to direct message each other through the Meetup platform\. Please do not abuse this facility and note that we have a zero tolerance policy for the following: · Promoting goods and services via the app. · Unsolicited approaching of members for personal relationships · Using the database to directly message members and organise events outside of the Meet Up Group. In all cases the member will be removed from the group once a final warning has been issued.  7\. Personal details \- We actively encourage using this group to develop closer friendships\. However\, please use caution when disclosing personal contact details with another member\. If in doubt please see one of the leadership team for guidance  8\. Respect and courtesy \- We are all ambassadors of the group and as such we expect everybody to be polite and respectful to staff at venues where we have organised events\. Many of the venues we go to are regular events where we are well known to the staff who very often go the extra mile to give us a great event\. It is with this in mind that we ask that if you have an issue with food or service\, please offer that feedback in a polite and respectful manner\. If you have any questions regarding any event\, please contact the host and not the venue\. Also\, our organisers give up their free time and often put a lot of work into these events\. If you feel the event was not as you expected\, please feed that back in a respectful and constructive way\. Once again\, we take a zero tolerance to this and persistent or serious breaches of this will result in the member being removed from the group following the issue of a final warning\.  9\. Behaviour \- Safety and comfort of our members is our number one concern\. Below is a list\, although not an exhaustive one\, of what will not be tolerated: * Aggressive behaviour/bullying * Degrading comments around race, politics, culture, sexual orientation, and gender identification * Any unwanted behaviour or comments towards a member that would make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe * Any form of discrimination If you require further clarity around any of these points, please contact one of the group leadership team.  As this is a private group the Organiser reserves the right to remove a member if they are deemed to be having a negative effect on members within the group.  **Any breaches of the Code of Conduct may result in a warning and/or being removed from the group at the discretion of the leadership team.**
