A Celebration of Wildflower Meadows
St Paul’s Church Hall, Yelverton,
Friday 22nd March, 7:30pm (finish by 9:00pm)
with ecologist Peter Burgess, Director of
Conservation, Devon Wildlife Trust
 Wildflower meadows - bees love them, butterflies love them,
people love them. Nothing sums up summer like the experience of
walking through a species-rich meadow, carpeted with flowers and
alive with insects.
Yet across the country, wildflower meadows have all but
disappeared – 97 per cent of them have gone since the Second World
War. And Dartmoor is no different. Fortunately, there are still some
wonderful survivors.
If you have a field you would like to restore to a flowering
meadow, or if you simply wish to create wild areas in your garden –
gardens and orchards can be wildflower meadows too - then come along to
discover more.
Peter Burgess is a hugely knowledgeable
ecologist and his talk celebrates the wide diversity of meadows and
pastures in Devon and how they can be restored and recreated. Come
and find out about the restoration projects Devon Wildlife Trust are
involved with and how to turn a field into a wildflower meadow.
 The event is free but we suggest a £2 donation, payable on
the door. As seats are limited, please reserve your place now by
emailing
rose.moormeadows@gmail.com
The evening is being organised by Moor Meadows, the Dartmoor
community group whose aim is to help each other in conserving,
restoring and creating flower rich grasslands in the landscape
of Dartmoor:

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping
celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead
singer Freddie Mercury. Freddie defied stereotypes and shattered
convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the
planet.
The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their
iconic songs and revolutionary sound. They reach unparalleled
success, but in an unexpected turn Freddie, surrounded by darker
influences, shuns Queen in pursuit of his solo career. Having
suffered greatly without the collaboration of Queen, Freddie manages
to reunite with his bandmates just in time for Live Aid.
While
bravely facing a recent AIDS diagnosis, Freddie leads the band in
one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. Queen
cements a legacy that continues to inspire outsiders, dreamers and
music lovers to this day.

An epic portrayal of the events surrounding
the infamous 1819 Peterloo Massacre, where a peaceful pro-democracy
rally at St Peter's Field in Manchester turned into one of the
bloodiest and most notorious episodes in British history.
The massacre saw British government forces
charge into a crowd of over 60,000 that had gathered to demand
political reform and protest against rising levels of poverty. Many
protesters were killed and hundreds more injured, sparking a
nationwide outcry but also further government suppression.
The Peterloo Massacre was a defining moment in
British democracy which also played a significant role in the
founding of The Guardian newspaper.
