As the winter retreats for another year and things swing into action for Spring, we thought we would give you a quick run-down on what’s been going on in the PCV!

After a few design and supply hiccups, we are pleased to announce that our membership cards have finally been ordered and are on the way! This means that our membership packs are almost complete and ready to be sent out to PCV members. We thank everyone for their patience while we got these sorted!
The first issue of our newsletter, Spokes of the Wheel, is almost complete, and members can expect to see this in their inboxes later this week. It is choc-full of Ostara-themed articles and musings, including a bonza gardening column by Mel and some information about an upcoming letters section, “Dear Hawthorn”.
Remember that membership to the PCV is free in 2014 and 2015. If you would like to receive our newsletter, you can join us by clicking here.
We have also had the go-ahead from our friends over at the Mount Franklin Pagan Gathering to run a children’s maypole at this year’s Gathering. If you are a PCV member attending the Gathering and are interested in helping us out with this (you will need to have a Working With Children card), we would love to hear from you!
In other news, we are still on the lookout for businesses to be included in our list of Pagan-Friendly businesses, who offer a discount to PCV members in exchange for advertising on our website and in our newsletter. If you are interested in joining us in this (or if you know of a business that is), please let us know.
That’s all from us for now… The springtime weather is glorious and the garden beckons…
