MARCH AT BETHLEHEM HALL
The March community quiz night last Monday was once again very successful and well supported with five teams taking part. It was lovely to have Andy and Alan back with us again, and asking the questions.
It was a lot of fun, and everyone had a really enjoyable evening. The quiz itself was very closely contested, with two teams, The Peace Guard and The Dog Biscuits eventually tying on first place with 79 points, and Chic Happens third on 67. The Muckin' Fuppets and Girl Power weren't far behind. So after a fiendish tie-breaker (how many miles as the crow flies, from London to Paris), the eventual winners by just a few miles were the Peace Guard (Mel, Andy, Nia and Wyn).
Many thanks to The Dog Biscuits (Paula, Ron, Liz and Paul) for supplying the prizes, and of course to Alan and Andy for hosting the quiz in their customary entertaining fashion. The next quiz will take place on Monday April 12th, so we very much hope you'll be able to come along.
Our March supper takes place a week on Friday, the 27th. It's a choice between the ever popular Tuscan Chicken or a hearty Tuscan bean and vegetable stew, and a glazed pear and blood orange frangipane tart or Belgian waffles topped with fresh berries, ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Please get in touch to book a place, we need orders in by next Monday at the latest if you can. We've kept the price the same throughout the winter months despite some food costs increasing quite dramatically, it's still £18 per person, which these days is pretty good value for money and we promise you won't go home hungry!
Hot off the press this evening, a few very advanced dates for your diaries, because we will need volunteers for these events so if you think you might like to help, please make a note. We have the Caerphilly Adventure Group visiting us twice, on Sunday November 8th, and Saturday December 12th, and they have booked lunches and cakes on both those dates, and our friends from Eglwys Teilo Sant will once again be walking from the church in Llandeilo to Bethlehem with the donkeys - aka The Donkey Walk! - where they will also enjoy lunch at the hall. Early days certainly, but worth noting the dates if you'd like to help on the day, as well as possibly donate a home made cake.
Diolch,
Nia
