Tuesday 11th December, 7.30 pm
Alicetown Community Centre, 38 Victoria Street, Alicetown

This documentary is a beautiful film to watch pre-Christmas. It shows both old and new styles of bee-keeping – and shows them with stunning photography, giving amazing insight into the detailed activities of bees and hives. It leaves us to draw our own conclusions about the widely reported risks to bee-population survival, concentrating mostly on the factual and the immediate.
Our final Transition Towns Event for 2018 will be at the Alicetown Community Centre followed by a discussion and a cup of tea.

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.
