Since the end of last year we have been asking all members to think about giving someone a pat on the back.

To do this we ask you to think about who you think has been particularly helpful, has posted interesting material or has asked a good question. Also if anyone has been happy to discuss and have posted in a friendly open way. Basically is someone has caught your eye or impressed you in some way then this is your chance to say well done to them.

About half way through each month I start up a thread asking for nominations for any member who is not a full moderator, committee member or someone who has previously won it. Suggestions can be either posted on the thread or you can PM me with names you may have. You can put more than one name forward but we do ask that you give a reason why you are nominating them.

If you registered your username through the main Pagan Network site then you will have found recently that you are unable to access the forums with that same information.

This is because the registrations are separate. Looking at the top left corner, you will see four links - Home, Forums, Gallery and Shop. Click the Forums link, and you will find a link to register for the forums. You can use exactly the same username and password as you have done for the main site.

Pagan Network is a networking organisation set up to promote the acceptance and tolerance of Paganism as a faith system within the UK, and to provide a safe and informative social network both on and offline for Pagans in the UK.

As part of our social networking aim, we run social moots on a regular basis across the country, as well as occasional national events including sabbat parties, conventions and open rituals. All our events are open to pagans of all ages (except those held in licensed premises), experience levels and paths, and we do our best to ensure newcomers feel welcome and comfortable.
