 There will be photos, short film clips and a power point presentation to try to demonstrate the importance of the pollinators in our world. The hope is that the listeners will be encouraged enough to take small actions like planting the odd insect friendly flower or leaving the odd weed ! They save unwanted swarms and re home them out into the world where they can carry on the endless task off keeping our eco system going. Over a third of everything we eat on our plate derives from the work of pollinators and THEY are dying at 40% + year on year? Do we need to worry ? I think so!

The relationship between the Sun and the Earth gave birth to a powerful earth energy which Maria will describe in detail.

 Next year it will be 800 years since King John of ‘Robin Hood’ fame lost all his Royal Treasures in the Lincoln Wash. It had been John’s favourite hobby collecting jewellery, gold, silver plate, relics and other valuables.

 The Wheel of the Year represents the cyclical wheel of nature, the changing rhythms of the seasons. With illustrations, Roma will explore each of the eight Celtic festivals, marked by the solstices and equinoxes and four cross-quarter days: Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas and Samhain.
