    I probably couldn't make it to one anyway, which is one reason I don't do that - but Brighton is south of London. Coming from where I am that would involve travelling to London and out again.... There's be more scope to attract people from a larger areas if she went north-er or Midlands-ish. Birmingham ? Nottingham ? both more central, good links and a LOT cheaper ! (and for the record, still FAR away from little me !)

    I've experienced these three 'change' cards in several different ways, including the ways both you @Rayne and @DanielJUK have mentioned. However, I use a few different, fairly pragmatic meanings as well: Judgement - If you think of the traditional depiction of Judgement (the trumpet-blowing angel, people rising out of the graves) it appears that these people rising to be judged can no longer change anything about what they did in their lives. They will be judged now on what they've already done during their lives. Too late to repent, make changes, do things differently, etc. I stress that I am not in any way religious. However, I think the meaning of this upright card follows that particular train of thought. You've done all you can—or will—do to affect the outcome. You sit down to take your final exam. It's too late to study now. You either did or you didn't. The outcome will depend on what you've already done, on how well you have prepared. If you get the card reversed, that would mean there is still a bit of time to make a few alterations ...not a lot of time, but some. Get on it. I don't see the Judgement card as indicating the desirability of the outcome (upright=good, reversed=bad.) Judgement is just an indication of how close to the outcome you are, and whether you can still affect what is going to happen. The good/bad aspect of the outcome, depending on how the question is asked, will become clear via the surrounding cards. ........ The Tower equals shock. It's the unexpectedness of the event that's in play here. The Tower is, as you say, @Rayne externally imposed. It's the unwelcome bolt out of the blue that shatters what you thought was safe. I think that's why it's a particularly scary card ...you really can't predict the event is going to happen. It may or may not presage a beneficial change later on, after recovery, but the usual meaning ...that it's an important, unwelcome, and unforseen event ...rules the card for me. It's an event you have to deal with. Reversed usually means the event isn't as bad as first feared. The reversed card can also mean you're recovering from the shock, and finding a way to rebuild. ......... For me, Death means that something is finally over. (You've sold your house. You've got that divorce.) It will never return. Whatever has been dragging along and holding you back is finally done. You can relax now, and move on ...it's GONE! You can stop looking over your shoulder, wondering if it will re-appear—it won't, with the Death card upright. That is where the change comes in. This Death is NOT unexpected; it's something that's been waiting to happen. The other shoe has finally dropped. It can, of course, mean actual physical Death on rare occasions ...but, considering the number of times the Death card has appeared in my own readings and the fact that I am still alive and kicking—as are most of my near and dear ones—it's a good indication that unexpected physical Death is not the card's primary meaning for me. It CAN mean that there is no point hoping the change won't happen. This can be its negative aspect, if you don't want the change. But in general, upright Death is a beneficial, cleansing card that allows you to move on. Reversed, it means things have stagnated; what should be gone is still lingering. This can be the result of external factors that are stalled (divorce lawyers not getting back to you for ages) or can be your unwillingness to let go.

    @gregory you can write to Kim & complain. She is beginning to branch out with some Tarot workshops in Brighton & something in Switzerland annually - probably through the links she's made with people who come to London.
