Woodford News of Citizens Day and the Folk Festival is ON

Over 300 Woodfordia Citizens, staff, volunteers and Woodford Folk Festival organisers and friends got together recently for a weekend of reconnecting, future planning, ideas generation, music, fun and mural painting.

The main highlight was the announcement that the Woodford Folk Festival is back this December, as usual pre Covid, from 27^th December to 1^st January.

The Saturday program of the Citizen’s ‘Gathering the tribe’ weekend began with Robin leading a one hour Reconnection session with participants, followed by a stunning performance by Linsey Pollak. After lunch lots of subgroups formed to brainstorm and develop ideas for getting the word out about the festival, supporting volunteers, forming an onsite logistics working group as well as discussing ideas for The Planting Festival to have a new life and initiate the Conservatree project.

Of course there was the now traditional ‘Mad Hatters Tea Party’, great music and entertainment and lots of exciting conversations around the fire and the grounds.

Gavin Ryan held the thread of continuity through the weekend with the opportunity for everyone to add their unique designs and colour to the huge mural that will become the program cover artwork and other promotional delights.

Thanks go out to Amanda, Bill and McBride for their vision, leadership, work and dedication.

Here’s the link to the festival website to book.

The festival will be slightly smaller than 2019 but 100% as good.

Film Clip of Robin’s Life Insights by Delvin and Grace Solkinson and Michael Ney

In amongst a Podcast of Delvin and Robin chatting about several topics they have in common, the question was asked of Robin, “What’s important to you and what are some key learnings from your life?” This little clip offers some thoughts and feelings …
Watch it here https://www.facebook.com/delvin.solkinson/videos/5045400755494182
Michael Ney hosted and filmed the whole podcast, over 1 1/2hours of footage yet to be edited into a briefer Podcast that will go live sometime. Big gratitude to Devlin and Grace Solkinson who designed and had this small clip skilfully made with beautiful images and music.

We’d like to also ask you, the reader, what’s important to you? What keeps you passionate and on the path? Robin would love to hear your answers.
