COMMUNITY SUPPER AT BETHLEHEM HALL

The March Community supper takes place on Friday night 14th at the hall.

There will be chicken chasseur as the main meat course, rich with red wine, bacon, garlic and mushrooms. The meat-free option is roasted romano peppers stuffed with puy lentils, tomatoes, onions and cheese. Both accompanied by potatoes and green vegetables, along with crusty sourdough baguettes and Welsh butter.

Puddings are a choice of lemon and mango brulee or a blueberry and apple sponge, both with ice cream or cream.

Get in touch to book a place, ideally by Monday at the latest.

The current batch of Freezer to Freezer meals are all now spoken for (Chicken Korma and Vegetable & Chickpea Tagine). But as extras, we will have one each of Leek & Walnut tart, and cheese and onion tart, available by Monday. Each one divides up into 6 or 7 portions, £12.50 each. Again, get in touch as soon as possible.

The March quiz will be held this coming Monday, with Julie and John  - part of last month's winning team The Stratocasters - asking the questions, so we really hope you can come along to support them. It should be a lot of fun.

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.
