SPRING AT BETHLEHEM HALL

As we are now nearing the end of May (and possibly the end of our early summer!), this is just a quick reminder of what's happening at the hall in the next few weeks.

Tomorrow evening sees the AGM for Cymdeithas Bethlehem Dyffryn  Ceidrych Association Ltd, at 7pm. Everyone is welcome, and we would especially appreciate some ideas from the local community as to how we can not only generate income for the hall, but also to encourage it's use by more residents for a variety of events and occasions.

It is worth pointing out that everyone involved with running the hall, from the Directors through to those of us who pitch in and do what's needed to keep the doors open, give our time voluntarily, doing what we can, when we can. Almost every one of us has work commitments away from the hall, not to mention family responsibilities, so there is a limit to what we can do to generate interest in the little place. We aren't professional "event organisers" therefore we would really appreciate some ideas that we could put into practice. And it goes without saying that given the limitations of the hall in terms of it's size, those ideas need to be practical, affordable, and do-able! So if you feel you can contribute in some way, and are prepared to roll up your sleeves and make those ideas happen, please talk to us.

Next Tuesday, June 3rd, Llangadog Community Council will be using the hall for their monthly meeting, which in turn visits all three villages in the constituency.

On Monday 9th, the Starry Stitchers quilters will be using the hall during the day, followed that evening by the monthly community quiz at 7.30pm. The winning team in May, "Donald's Secondhand Plane" (yes you guessed it, Andy and Alan, with a team name like that could it possibly be anyone else!) will be asking the questions, so you are guaranteed of a great night out with lots of laughs, plus a few challenges along the way.  More details and a reminder nearer the time but be sure to make a note of the date.

We are very much hoping that we see the return of fine weather at some point in June, so keep an eye out for a pop-up social evening outdoors, which might involve a BBQ and a few drinks, all weather dependant of course so it could well be short notice, but fingers crossed, it will happen.

Diolch,

BETHLEHEM CURRY and QUIZ NIGHT 2024

FUNDRAISING FOR MACMILLAN


The Curry and Quiz night at the Old School in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support was a great success.

Thanks to the generosity and support of many of you, we raised a total of £430, which exceeds last year's sum of £412. For a small event in a tiny rural community, this is a brilliant achievement.

Thanks go firstly to Andy and Alan for a very entertaining quiz, they always do a great job but last night's really was a lot of fun, they also took charge of the raffle which helped enormously, diolch i chi'ch dau!

The raffle prize table was crammed with offerings, which drew a lot of attention, and Mel's Guess The Money In The Jar game proved very popular, so thanks to Mel and to everyone who donated a prize or three, every table went home with a bag of goodies,

Quite a few takeaways were collected on the evening, and donations dropped off, as well as bills being "rounded up" in order to donate the change, so thank you to everyone who bought meals and contributed in those ways.

And of course a big thank you to everyone who spent a few hours eating curry and participating in the quiz.  All of this made for a very impressive final total, which we will be passing on to Macmillan shortly.

Hazel was, as always, a huge help in the kitchen, and Rose pitched in to help serve and clear up afterwards. Barman Wyn kept the drinks flowing, and Andy sorted out all the tables and chairs - a team effort, diolch!

The result of the quiz is almost irrelevant, but the winning team was Too Hot To Trot (Julie, John, Mel and Wyn) so they divided the spoils of the hamper between them.

The success of the evening is even more impressive given that up until a week ago, we were within a fraction of cancelling the whole thing, as there seemed to be much less support for a Bethlehem Macmillan fundraiser this year. It's heartening therefore that it all came good in the end, and that our small community continues the tradition of raising money for such a good cause. And we are already planning next year's fundraiser!

Diolch o galon unwaith eto - A heartfelt thank you once again.

Nia.

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
