Do you have any news or upcoming events that you would like to see listed on this website?
If so, please send any information to Caron at her email address caronthomas55@yahoo.com
Caron is updating the Community Website, as and when she can, but due to the other commitments that she has with the Community Hall (which has become very busy) she is not able to visit the Post Office to collect information as often as she'd like.
She is happy to still receive anything via email to insert / delete onto the site at any time! She is still updating from home and will try and get up to the Post Office in the very near future. Many thanks.

JUNE
AT BETHLEHEM HALL
Another Sunday, another café...
and another appearance for the white bean,
sundried tomato and walnut paté,
it's proving very popular! There's a Mediterranean vegetable tart, a wicked Gin
and Tonic (with white chocolate) Cheesecake, the lighter option of vanilla bean
and spiced rum roasted nectarines, and a chocolate orange buttercream sponge.
Oh and a cherry and almond cake made with fresh cherries. All the usuals on the menu too - salad platters,
omelettes, panini, toasties, hot and cold drinks, wine,
beers and ciders.
Open 12-3.
You may be interested to know that the first
7 café Sundays
have made a profit of just over £700, every penny of which goes to the
hall - not bad for a tiny little enterprise! So a heartfelt thank you to everyone
who has supported us over the last seven weeks. And if you've yet to try the
food on offer, thinking that you'll have to make do with a sad looking sandwich
and a cup of instant coffee - you could be in for a surprise! One of the village
youngsters, Sophia from Trem Y Garn, is going to be organising
a charity afternoon tea party at the hall on the afternoon of Saturday June
29th, in aid of Marie Curie. Once Marie Curie found out how young Sophia
is, they selected her as a case study for the charity,
which is a real thrill for Sophia and her family, and for
Bethlehem, so we would love it if as many local people
could come along on the day to support the cause, and if
anyone would like to contribute cakes, raffle prizes or
donations, they will be very gratefully received indeed.
Sophia intends to make this the first of her fundraising
ventures, with an event happening several times a year.
There will be more details nearer the time, but Sophia's
mum, Hannah, is happy to be contacted in the meantime,
so give her a ring if you can help out on the 29th, her
number is 07495 250346.
Nia and the team.

Events at Bethlehem Hall
http://bethlehemhall.wales
CALLING ALL LOCAL ARTISTS/CRAFTSPEOPLE IN BETHLEHEM
We are hoping to expand our range of locally produced merchandise, on a Bethlehem theme.
We already have cards designed by both Julie Brenan and Des Oldfield, featuring interpretations of Bethlehem scenes, Chris Brown has made enamelled pendants with the Bethlehem star as the focal, and Kate Glanville is producing a limited number of mugs for us.
We are selling pendants, mugs etc. on a sale or return basis, with a percentage of the sale price going to the hall. December is always very busy in the hall, with Christmas card stamping taking place right up until the last posting dates, so it's an ideal opportunity sell your work to a wider customer base.
If you feel you have anything you'd like to contribute, then please get in touch with either myself, or any of the other committee members - Pam, Andy, Wyn, Rose or Chris.
Many Thanks, Nia

BETHLEHEM
MUGS
Our super duper new Bethlehem mugs have
literally just been delivered, aren't they lovely?
Available
in the hall, price just £5.
A big thank you to Geoff for letting us
use his lovely sketch of the Old School, and for his painstaking
work in preparing the image ready for printing. Also to
Sue who drove a hard bargain with the company, ensuring
we got the best possible deal!

Bethlehem Notebooks
Look at our new notebook!
In addition to the ever popular Bethlehem jute bag (we actually sold out of them in the run up to Christmas!), we will now be selling new merchandise in 2018, and look what landed on the doorstep a few days ago - really gorgeous notebooks, fabulous quality, complete with the famous Bethlehem star.
They will be available at the hall when the café starts up again at the end of April, as well as at other community events such as the quiz, suppers etc.
Priced at £4.50, they are perfect for keeping in your bag, and they would make great little gifts, a special little reminder of a special little place.

Scarecrows / Bwganod Brain
Scarecrows
to invade Gwynfe in 2020...watch this space for further
details!!
Gwynfe Defibrillator
On a completely different topic...as many of you
will be aware, Gwynfe Community Hall houses a defibrillator ,
which is available 24/7 in the entrance hall. This
medical resource is supported financially by Llangadog Community
Council. It can be used by anyone in or near Gwynfe
who suspects they may be dealing with an adult in cardiac
arrest .
The machine is designed to be
used by anyone (whether they are familiar with the equipment
or not) and a built-in loudspeaker directs the user how to
use the equipment, step by step.
A number of Gwynfe residents who live near the hall have
agreed to be contact points for anyone who needs to receive
the defibrillator on an urgent basis.
A new/refresher course on how to use the defibrillator may
be run shortly in the hall for anyone who would like to attend. Please
check for news of a course.
Finally, anyone who wishes to be sure of the location of
a property (in Gwynfe) before they set off with the defibrillator
can check the map mounted in a frame alongside the road just
outside the hall (by the Three Kites statue). We
are looking into the possibility of having a spare map attached to the defib
box for anyone to take with them in an emergency.
Cadog Film Club
We run two types of event, always in the evening and in the Llangadog Community Hall:
• on the first Saturday of every month from October to May we show a film that has broad appeal
• on the third Friday of every month from October to April we show something less well-known that has been highly rated – we call these evenings “Buffs' Nights”.
The Saturday events are as much social as about the film. Everyone coming brings a plate of food to share and we have a buffet meal at tables, with wine and soft drinks available to buy. We sit and chat for an hour or so before clearing everything away and enjoying the film.
On Fridays we meet for half an hour or so before the film for drinks and nibbles.
The easiest way to join is to come to a Friday or Saturday event and sign up at the door. Membership is £5 per season per person (there is a minimum age limit for paid-up members of 16).
TICKETS cost £5 per person per film, payable at the door.
NON-MEMBERS are welcome, maybe visitors or friends of members who would like to see the show, or under 16s if the film is legal for them to see. Non-members' tickets are £6.
OTHERWISE you can contact the Club's Secretary by e-mail – cadogfilmclub@aol.com
Our website is at http://cadogfilmclub.org.uk/
Dinefwr Ramblers
Dinefwr Ramblers is the Ramblers group for the Llandeilo, Llandovery and Ammanford areas. The first three walks with the group will be free of charge and afterwards becoming a member of the Ramblers will provide many benefits and give support to a charity dedicated to promoting walking.
Further information on these and a wide variety of other easier walks organised by Dinefwr Ramblers, including contact details for the leaders, will be found on the website www.dinefwr Ramblers.org.uk and in The Post's Events section.
Llangadog Gardening Association
Llangadog Gardening Association meets at 7.30pm on the last Wednesday of every month in Llangadog Community Centre. We have a varied programme of speakers, trips and events throughout the year. Contact Helen Williams on 01550-777719 for further details.
