Hey there....
Just thought you might be interested as your in the newcastle area...
Around christmas there was a local advertisement in the paper ( Cessnock) about a 'United Pagan Church' or something like that- by sounds of things they were pretty open to any type of wiccan/ pagan and had a ceremony to celebrate the sabbat.
Maybe someone from there could answer your questions- perhaps even just doing a public dedication of your faith might help you....
