Month: April 2025

Have you ever wondered what stories lie in your family’s past? Join us for a fascinating afternoon exploring your ancestry at our Research Your Family History Workshop, taking place on Saturday 17th May 2025 from 2:30–4:30pm at Walford Village Hall, Ross-on-Wye.

Led by Ian Ormerod, a seasoned genealogist and historian with over 50 years of experience, this hands-on workshop will guide you through the basics of researching your family tree. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to build on existing research, Ian will offer practical advice, tips, and resources to help you uncover your personal history.

The session includes a step-by-step introduction to family tree research, with plenty of time to ask questions and get personalised guidance. You’ll even take part in a practical exercise to kick-start your own genealogical journey.

Spaces are limited, and pre-booking is essential, by emailing hhmp2022@hotmail.com to reserve your spot.

Whether you’re doing it for fun, legacy, or to connect with distant relatives, this workshop will leave you inspired and equipped to start your research. Don’t miss your chance to begin uncovering the stories and connections that make up your family’s past.

We can’t wait to see you there!

You may have heard of Regenerative Agriculture, but have you ever wondered what Regenerative Living means? It’s more than just a concept—it’s a way of life that fosters renewal, resilience, and sustainability, benefiting both the planet and ourselves.

We are excited to welcome Andrew De La Haye, Chair of the Herefordshire Wildlife Trust Ross branch and a Trustee of the UK Permaculture Association, to share his passion and insights on this transformative approach to life. Regenerative Living encourages us to work in harmony with nature, creating systems that restore and replenish rather than deplete. By adopting these principles, we can all contribute to a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.

If you enjoyed Andrew’s Lazy Gardening talk last year, this event is not to be missed! You’ll leave inspired and empowered to incorporate regenerative practices into your own daily life.

🌱 Seed & Plant Swap: Bring along your spare seeds and plants to exchange with like-minded individuals.
☕ Refreshments: Available for a donation, with all proceeds supporting the Howle Hill Memorial Garden.

📅 No need to book! Tickets are £5 on the door.

We look forward to seeing you there!
