Buddy & Befriending Scheme

Wed, May 31st 2023 at 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Julie Birtwistle from Changing Lives Together will be telling us about this excellent scheme in our area and how we can help.

The Marvellous Honey Bee

Most of us know and love our native bumble bee, but how much do you know about it's smaller and slightly dowdier cousin, the honey bee? It's easy to underestimate this industrious little insect who will willingly die to protect her colony and work herself to death to ensure the survival of her queen and sisters over the winter. In this presentation, we'll look at a whole host of fascinating facts and figures about bees, their lifestyle and their behaviour, that may change your view of honey bees completely.

After a long period of empty theatres, what better way to raise some much needed funds than a Black-Tie dinner and concert. The Rotary Clubs of Northwich hosted their first Gala Concert at Memorial Court Theatre on 20th Oct 2021.
