Pontarddulais walking club

Members would like to thank Allison Walters and Ann Chalke for leading a strenuous trek in the Brecon Beacons. Highlight of the trek was the scaling of the two mountains Fan Frynach and Craig Cerrig Gleisiad in the Forest Fawr range. Lunch was taken at the Brecon Beacons Visiting Centre, with splendid panoramic vistas of the peaks of Pen y Fan and Corn Du. Club members would also like to thank Allison and Ann for organising the Lake District trip and tour next summer, last week Mr Huw Miles took the club members who were also joined by three reporters from the Llanelli Star. The trek began at Llyn Briane reservoir and included the beautiful and picturesque valleys of the Towy and Doethie. Lunch was taken at reputedly the most remotest and desolate chapel in Wales, the Calvanist and Methodist Soar Y Mynydd.

Consultations

There are also boxes in the post offices which residents can return their comments to for the two surveys that have been dropped through your letter boxes, one is regarding the post code row, responses and views will be collated and evidence will be provided to various bodies which might include insurance companies and the post office who set the post codes, The second survey is around scouting, the Wales Scouting movement are celebrating their 100 anniversary this year and they’ve won a grant to develop the scouting movement, the grants require evidence that there’s a need in communities to develop the local groups, the more responses the better the chance that Hendy and Pontarddulais might share some of this development grant, please return and complete this questionnaire.
