THE Forest and Wye Valley Earth Mysteries Group will discuss the power of crystals and rocks at their meeting on Thursday (August 4, 7.30pm).

All are welcome at the Courtfield Arms, Lower Lydbrook, and entry is free.

"Come along, and bring your favourite stones or crystals, and also any unidentifiable pieces and we will try and identify them," says a spokesman.

 "Occult jeweller the Troll of Kerne will be on hand to give some guidance."
