Speaker:Patrick Stuart Talk Title: The Wapentake of Wirral.
In the middle of the 19th Century a corrupt solicitor got his hands on the documents for a legal court from the end of the dark ages. The Wapentake. Though its powers had lessened over the years, it was still a valid legal court. He used its powers to roam around the Wirral treating the court as a moveable street gang, demanding payments and sentencing people to contempt. This will be a brief history of those events.
Speaker:Helen Campbell Talk Title: Gauchos, romance and coups; the hidden history of Argentine tango
Speaker: Jean Jacques Sillito Talk Title: Engaging the community through both fitness and litter
Speaker:Pamela Langan Talk Title: Growth Mindset and Harnessing the Law of Attraction to achieve your goals.
Life moves so fast, so many people feel unfulfilled and unsure how to make a positive change. This talk is about helping people to understand if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get the same result. After 5 mins you’ll be ready to step out of your comfort zone and start on your journey to achieve your goals.
Speaker: Lydia Cole Talk Title: The Three Ps
I will talk about the connection between peanut butter, palm oil and peat. Palm oil is found in around half of all of the packaged products you find in supermarkets, peanut butter included. It comes from plantations of oil palms, which are spreading rapidly across the Tropics. Large areas of the land it is expanding into was covered in tropical bogs. I will talk a bit more about bogs, i.e. peatlands (my passion!), and the connection between what we eat on our morning toast and the loss of orangutan habitat in the Tropics.

Pitch and Put at the Break
Don’t forget if you have a project that you want to talk about then at the end of the break we have our Pitches section –which gives audience members the opportunity 1 minute to jump up on stage and tell the rest of the world (especially those watching at home) about a great project, event or maybe even just about something they are proud of. We make an announcement about this during the break so listen out.
