Monthly meeting on Wednesday 27th August at Pontarddulais Cricket Club as usual everybody is welcome.

You may have noticed that over the last week a plot of waste ground near the rugby club has been cleared to allow people extra space for their cars during times of busy park use.
A big thank you to all concerned with clearing this space.

And we are now an official Fields in trust site. You can find out more by clicking the link below.

Other News.

As you are aware we have a new playing surface on the Tennis courts and we are receiving very good reviews about the way the way it plays. At the same time an old chain fencing was taken down by the car park/bowls green and this has now been replaced with a more up to date fence.

Again thank's to everybody involved in constructing this as the area looks a lot nicer.
