Our last event

Over the last four weeks we have contributed to the Festival Committee’s Window Light Trail by making some decorations for the Memorial Hall windows. Thank you to the Hall Committee for giving us the opportunity and to the helpers from Laugharne Festival Committee who set it all up. We thoroughly enjoyed designing and making them for all to enjoy. Along with a fun quiz and other challenges, over 40 people enjoyed a tasty and warm two-course meal.

Due to the stormy weather the planned visit from ETO, Carmarthenshire’s recycling initiative (www.cwmenvironmental.co.uk), was postponed. However, don’t worry as we will now be able to welcome Nick Thomas to Croeso Cynnes on Friday 28 February to tell us about the Recycling Village in Nantycaws; their pop-up shops where they sell items repaired, recycled or repurposed from the Village; and the ‘circular economy.’ In addition he is bringing some of ‘Merlin’s Magic Compost’ for us to plant some mini daffodils to take home.

Valentines Day was the theme for Croeso Cynnes 1 in February with poetry, dancing, games and a chocolate dessert worthy of GBBO! Once again, the amazing Maggie James helped us to embrace the spirit of this special day, reciting poems and prose that produced many ‘aaahs’ and belly-laughs from the audience. Diolch o gallon, Maggie. Members of Tumble Lindy Hop Jive joined us to showcase a few dances - ‘Shake that thing’ was a clear favourite – and helped us master a few dances ourselves, both on the dance floor and as we sat in our chairs. Who knew the Hand Jive and the Clap Hands routine could be such fun, or that the jive and strolls would create such a lovely entertainment! Congratulations to all those who took part. If you’d like to get involved with them again, they are hosting an afternoon tea at Y Gat/The Gate St Clears on Saturday 17 May so Save The Date! 

Thank you once again to the growing team of Volunteers who help to make our sessions friendly, full of fun and prepare and serve the fabulous food.
