Full Moon – Saturday, 10th September

Rising just after 8pm on Saturday evening, the Full Moon will brighten our skies. While September’s Full Moon is usually known as the Harvest Moon, if October’s Full Moon happens to occur closer to the autumnal equinox (September 23rd) than September’s, it takes on the name “Harvest Moon” instead. In this case, September’s Full Moon is referred to as the Corn Moon.

A transitional time between summer and autumn – many of the names (with the associated tribe) for this Full Moon reflects this:

Autumn Moon (Cree)
Falling Leaves Moon (Ojibwe)
Leaves Turning Moon (Anishinaabe)
Moon of Brown Leaves (Lakota)
Yellow Leaf Moon (Assiniboine)

Other Indian tribes would refer to this moon as:

Moon When the Plums Are Scarlet (Lakota Sioux)
Moon When the Deer Paw the Earth (Omaha)
Moon When the Calves Grow Hair (Sioux)

Meet Jeremy Noble – Thursday 15th September

Everyone is invited to the W.I.’s meeting on 15th September when they will be delighted to welcome Jeremy Noble (pictured above) for a reading from his novel, Russian Ending at the Comrades Hall.

Our lovely village of Broadwindsor features significantly as a location in the book (even the WI gets a mention!), which is about an investment manager (Edward “Ned” Lumley) who gets involved with a Russian family whose money comes from the diamond industry. Lies and deceit ensue, but from which side?

Following the reading, Jeremy will be happy to take your questions and sign any copies of the book you bring along.
A Russian Ending is available from bookshops and can be purchased on Amazon HERE.

There will be a small entry fee of £5 for non-members. All profits from the evening will go to a Ukrainian charity.

As you’d expect being hosted by the W.I., delicious refreshments will be available 🙂
