OLD
SCHOOL SUPPERS AT BETHLEHEM HALL
I know this is short notice, and probably
a bit of a long shot, but we now unexpectedly
have two places available again for the
Old School Supper tomorrow night, so
if you don't have anything planned, then
you'd be more than welcome to come along.
In order to keep the price as sensible
as possible, we plan and buy the ingredients
based on a certain number of diners,
so having food left over isn't ideal,
and we all hate to see good food go to
waste.
Tomorrow night's supper
is an Italian-themed two course meal
consisting of a roasted vegetable pasta
bake (vegetarian), with bowls of salads
and baskets of Italian breads, and pudding
choices are either a pear frangipane
tart or a lemon ricotta cheesecake. Everything
homemade, using quality ingredients,
as always. Coffee/tea and truffles are
included in the price of £12.50 per person.
There will
be a bar serving a good selection of
wines, fizz, ciders, beers and soft
drinks. Arrive from 7, to eat at 7.30.

the losing team!
Any donations towards a raffle gratefully received. Already up for grabs

money for the Terrence Higgins Trust. My aim is to raise £1800
for this amazing charity.

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 COMMUNITY PRODUCE
Late last autumn we decided to raise a little bit of
extra money for the hall by selling locally made produce
donated by some of you generous folk - Cynnyrch Cymunedol
Bethlehem, Bethlehem Community Produce - which we sold
at the Christmas Fair and at the hall during the Christmas
Card stamping period. Although we didn't have very much
in the way of stock, everything we did have sold very
quickly - jam, chutney and fruit wine - so we would very
much like to repeat the enterprise this year, but slightly
earlier in the season.
If you have any surplus produce from the garden, for example tomatoes, apples, onions, plums, damsons, basically anything we can turn into jam, chutney, fruit wine/gin, or even use at the café in the coming weeks, then please get in touch.
And if you find yourself getting carried away by the bargains on offer at Chris Thomas in Abergwili but then realise that the crate of eleventy billion plums for about £3.50 wasn't very practical after all, then we will happily take them off your hands!
All the profits go to the hall, that goes without saying, and we all hate seeing food go to waste, so give us a shout if you think you can contribute. Diolch!
Nia

NEUADD BETHLEHEM HALL YOUTH GROUP
Good news for Bethlehem and the surrounding community!
There are more children and young people living here now than for quite a few years, so the time is absolutely right to start up a regular youth group at the hall.
Starting on Friday September 28th, the group will meet on the last Friday of every month, from 6-8pm. It's open to all children in the area, aged 7 years and upwards.
The cost is £2 per child, per session - this will include squash and biscuits. There will also be a small tuck shop available, selling soft drinks and snacks.
The sessions are being organised by Hannah so contact her for more details - 07495 250346. |
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.

Upcoming Events at Gwynfe
If you are in the 50+ age range and would like to try a new and gentle form
of exercise, why not come along to Tai Chi in
Gwynfe Village Hall. These new classes will take place weekly on Tuesday
afternoons from 1 p.m. beginning on 11th September (then
18th Sept, 25th Sept etc.). The class is free of charge and is taken by
Sue Wakefield in connection with Age Cymru. A trial session was run after
the Monday Club on 3rd Sept. and was a great success, appreciated by all those
who took part. The gentle, slow exercises can be done standing up or sitting
in a chair and take about 30 minutes. Tai Chi is renowned for promoting
suppleness of the body's joints, providing a gentle toning of muscles and relaxing
the spirit; it is 'low-impact', but most effective. Hope to see you there!
Drama at Gynfe Hall
Come along to Gwynfe Community Hall next Wednesday
evening (24th October) to see the latest
Arts Council of Wales-sponsored theatre company in a production
called 'Exodus'. The show,
which has received great reviews, is a Welsh-themed tale,
set in Aberdare, South Wales: "Blisteringly funny,
this heart-warming drama accompanied by live original score
and tantalising visuals is a new adventure from the valleys
that makes anything seem possible."
In a slight change to previously published information, food (burgers
+ accompaniments or hot-dogs) will be available from 7:00 pm ,
with the show starting at 7:30 or shortly thereafter. As
usual, a bar will be available all evening and a raffle will be run as well.
Tickets for the show will be £6 full price, £5 concessions/children
and will be available on the door.
There are a couple of representatives coming from the Arts Council of
Wales to attend the evening, so your support at this event would be particularly
appreciated! See you there.
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 C ommunity 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.
