Preparations begin for the next ICW meeting, where Voldemort will present the 'face' of Britain to the rest of the world. This includes him asking several of his Death Eaters to prepare reports, and arranging a photoshoot of the new Minister for Magic in which he rescues kittens stuck up trees, kisses babies, and shakes hands with old people. The photoshoot takes place on Saturday 11th, and a number of Death Eaters gather to make fun of Rabastan on his way in.

ICW conference begins on Wednesday 15th, attended by Voldemort and Rookwood as the official delegates. Unbeknownst to them, however, an alliance of countries have been meeting and discussing how to uproot the Death Eater hold on Britain. Several countries ask very difficult questions, including the Czech republic, Spain, Japan, Bosnia, Botswana, and New Zealand. As the week goes on, there are mumblings of uncertainty from other countries as well, and when Voldemort and Rookwood leave on Saturday 18th, there is a general consensus that the conference did not go well.
Voldemort is in a crappy mood on Sunday 19th and will take it out on anyone who has the misfortune to come across him.
Muggle News: On Wednesday 15th the Funeral of Princess Margaret takes Place (on the 50th Anniversary of her Father's Funeral). On Sunday 19th, NASA's Mars Odyssey space probe begins to map the surface of Mars using its thermal emission imaging system.
I've done it on google calendar for a change :-) Plot posts will still be a-coming, but if you want advanced notice of things like muggle news, birthdays etc., there they are. I'll put term dates and the like up shortly too. If you look on the userinfo for the mod account or any of the communities we use, I've put links to the calendars on there.
