Rules of the Community

Occasionally it is necessary to remind Beaker People of the rules of the Community. This would be an appropriate time.

• Attendance at all acts of worship is obligatory, subject to the "day of rest" regulation
• Every member is entitled to one "day of rest" a week, when they are exempted from worship obligations. This day is not to be Sunday (obviously), Monday (named after the moon), Wednesday (when we hold our midweek moon-gaze), Thursday (named after the one with the thunderbolts - you can't be too careful), Friday (end-of-week wind-down, and start of weekenders' visits) and Saturday (Shabbat).
• All members of the community whose day of rest is on Tuesday are expected to participate in digging the garden, chopping wood, gathering fruit, and other spiritual (and productive) activities. Don't think of it as mind-numbing drudgery - think of it as good for your souls.
• Senior members of the Druidry team are entitled to rest from the early morning devotions at short notice, on account of the need for them to take part in late-night meditation sessions and philosophising.
• Dancing in the woods on Aspley Heath is still subject to the law of the land, and membership of the community will not exempt you if young Keith's uncle the policemen should decide action is necessary.
• Stay off the Great Trilithon. We still can't afford a concrete one, and we think the current one may have woodworm.
