On Tuesday 29th January St Neots Pioneers took to Huntingdon Community Radio to promote their group to new members in the area. The Pioneers - Daisy-Mae (age 11) and Ethan (age 10) did a wonderful job of explaining what Woodcraft Folk is and what they get up to at their groups. The Pioneers were asked about their favourite activities that they do at Woodcraft Folk, Ethan really enjoys the crafts "last week we made a willow lantern at our group night" and Daisy-Mae spoke about how the Bivvies on camp are her favourite part of Woodcraft Folk.

This yearly celebration of the Winter Solstice on 21st December in Brighton had the theme 'Remembrance' this year. Brighton Central and Hove District decided to remember refugees/asylum seekers/migrants who bravely make sea crossings to get to a place of safety. Little did we know how important and relevant this would be, by the day of the event, when quite a few little boats bringing asylum seekers had crossed the channel and landed just along the coast in Kent. Our big lantern boat with the remembrance message led all the little boats, which fanned out behind.
