Events at Bethlehem Hall

http://bethlehemhall.wales/

If anyone has any ideas that they would like to put forward for events in the hall, please contact Nia (niaclement@aol.com) or Sue (sue@deeproot.co.uk)

An update on the pop up café at the hall! Nia has been doing the sums and we are thrilled to say that since we started food-related events in Bethlehem in the spring, we have raised over £920 towards the upkeep of the hall. This sum includes the profits from the weekly Sunday café and the two supper quizzes, so on behalf of us both, Nia and Sue, we'd like to thank everyone who has supported the venture. If you've purchased anything from a cuppa and a Welshcake, to a panini and salad, or have been along to a supper quiz and enjoyed a great evening and bought wine and beer from Wyn's Bar, then you've contributed greatly, so diolch o galon, thank you so much! The café will be open every Sunday from 12noon - 3pm throughout August and September.

The Bethlehem Summer BBQ will be on Sunday 20th August at 4pm. See poster above. Fingers crossed for some good weather!

The monthly quiz will be on Monday 14th August at 7.30pm. So come along with a team or join a team. Always a good evening.

Film at Bethlehem Hall

Hi Everyone,

As it's the summer holidays, we plan to show a film in the Hall specially for the kids (holidays do go on for a long time!). We would like as many of you to come if you can, and the suggested date is Wednesday 16th August, starting at 6.

The film we are showing is called "Sing" (from the makers of Despicable Me), which received glowing reviews when it was released earlier in the year. Here's the link: http://thepeoplesmovies.com/2017/01/film-review-sing-2017/ . We'll be selling popcorn, drinks and other refreshments as usual. The cost for a family ticket is £6, otherwise adults £3.00 and children £1.50.

If this date/time is impossible for you, please let us know and subject to numbers, we'll try and move it, although it's probably going to be difficult to get a date which suits everyone!! We'll try though!!

Cheers,
Des and Libby
