We are in the evening post and other news.

We are in the Evening Post today (wednesday 2nd november page 20) 

A bit of Good News! The earth has arrived and has been put in the brick roundabout by the gate so ........ if anyone has some spare daffodil or crocus bulbs then these would be most acceptable and we can plant them in this container.  Also a few members have said that they might have some spare Geranium Plants and I am sure you will agree these would be nice to plant up in the container next year as they are such a cheerful colourful plant.  Anyway, any other ideas would be most welcome as would a volunteer  who can mix a bit of cement so that we can fill in the missing bricks in the container.  I have sand, cement and bricks but I can't make cement, come to think of it I can't make cake either.

All the best

Chris

Pontarddulais Agriculture Show 2011

On Bank holiday Monday the 29th 2011 we set up our 2nd stall of the year at the Pontarddulais Agriculture Show.

Kay, Brenda and Margaret our Treasurer also helped man the stall in the morning so a big thank you to them.
And we also give a big thanks to everybody else that also turned up to help us set up.  

Julie is holding up a blue plant pot at the start of our day and the table is well covered in Tombola items all donated by our members - a big thank you to everyone

The items ranged from a tin of sardines to a Voucher from Arwels of Pontarddulais for a Cut and Blow Dry at his salon.  Thank you very much Arwel.

The lady who won the bird feeder donated by Emlyn's Pet Shop of Pontarddulais was very obvioulsy very pleased with her prize. 

 

All tombola tickets had been sold by 2pm and Margaret and her grandson did a wonderful job of manning what then became our book stall.

 We had fun and raised money for the Friends which was absolutely brilliant

Pontarddulais Carnival.

Hi Everyone.

First of all a big thank you to everybody that helped out on our stall at the coed bach park carnival field on saturday 25 june.
The weather was against us but we soldiered on and made over £160 for the Friends Of The Park funds.
And we also were able to sign up a few new members to our ranks so please keep spreading the word so as we can continue to expand our organization and go from strength to strength.

I would like to thank all our volunteers that took the trouble to spend a few hours in the wet cold wind asking questions and of course Gaynor for her painting skills which were appreciated by everyone concerned and was kept very  busy by plenty of requests for face paintings.
