Ministry Announces New 'Gelato Socials'
'We have lost our way,' says Minister Bagnold

By Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet Correspondent

LONDON - In an effort to expand the sense of community among witches and wizards of the United Kingdom, Minister Bagnold today announced the government's new initiative of hosting free 'gelato socials' in the Atrium of the Ministry of Magic every Tuesday evening at 18.00.

"The magical community is a small but caring community. We look after our own," said Bagnold in an earlier announcement today. "Lately, we may have lost sight of this fact. Subnationals have threatened not only our collective safety, but the very fabric of our common sense of decency, morality and greater good. Let us defy these efforts of subversion. Let us come together and reignite our bonds of kinship with each other. Let us learn to trust each other once more and show the world what makes us so great."

The gelato offerings will come in 12 flavours to suit every discerning palate and is being specially created by Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour for the occasion.

The inaugural social will be held tonight and will include a special performance by the critically acclaimed Knights of the Round Table circus troupe.
