SEPTEMBER EVENTS IN BETHLEHEM
Now that the Macmillan fundraiser is over for another year (total so far £540, donations still being accepted!), it's time to spread the news about other things happening in the area.
The latest edition of the Hands Off Wales podcast is available, please follow this link

It's worth keeping up to speed with everything as there are some significant developments, and the podcast is one of the best ways to make sure you have all the information.
The September quiz took place on Monday evening, with Rudy and Carmela from July's winning team asking the questions. The little hall was pretty much full to capacity, with five teams taking part in a very close fought battle. Only a couple of points separated most of the teams right up until the last round, but the eventual winners , the Phantom Flan Flingers, just edged a win over team 72 Million. Once again the bar was well supported, and everyone had a good time.
The next Bethlehem Quiz takes place on Monday October 12th, when Sue and Graham, the other half of the winning July team, will be hosting the evening, so we hope it's another well supported event.
And, after a break for the summer, the Bethlehem Old School Supper is back! They are called the Old School Suppers for two obvious reasons they take place at the hall which is the old village school, and the food is Old School - a good, hearty, home cooked two course meal, tasty and plenty of it! If you are expecting artfully curated plates of ingredients piled up in layers and drizzled with jus and edible flowers, with puddings the size of a small matchbox, you might be disappointed! As we like to say in Bethlehem, you won't go home hungry!
If you've never been to a supper before, it's a very informal evening, with everyone sitting at one long table. Everybody is welcome, whether you live in Bethlehem itself or in the wider community. You can come with someone, or a group of friends, or on your own, it doesn't matter. Everyone is made very welcome and we can guarantee you will meet some interesting and friendly people.
The monthly suppers are one of the most important ways for us to raise much needed funds for our hall, so we do hope you will support them again this autumn and winter. So the first supper of the season will take place on Friday 23rd of October, menu yet to be confirmed but as always there will be a choice of a meat or vegetarian main course, as well as a choice of puddings. We will keep you posted with details nearer the time.
Diolch yn fawr,

Gwynfe
Hall
Come along to Gwynfe at 2 pm on Saturday, 19th September for a fun and interesting Nature Walk led by local naturalist David Owen.
We will set off from Gwynfe Community Hall (SA19 9RD) for a gentle, circular walk of about 2 hours, returning back to the hall for refreshments (available to purchase) to include squash/tea/coffee, cakes, sausage rolls and sandwiches.
This event is fully suitable for children and is a fantastic way for families, nature enthusiasts and anyone interested in the countryside, wildlife and walking, to explore the great outdoors together. Activity sheets will be available to help kids (and adults) spot local wildlife and we suggest bringing along a small bucket or bag to collect natural treasures like interesting leaves, acorns, or twigs. If you have a pair of binoculars, bring those along too to see what is hiding in the treetops. David will be sharing amazing facts about the sights and sounds of birds, bugs, trees, and plants along our path.
Important details:
- Dogs: Four-legged friends are very welcome to join the fun on a lead.
- Safety: All children must be accompanied by an adult.
- RSVP: If you can, please let us know you are coming so we can bake enough cake and prep enough activity sheets!
Gwynfe Show Committee will be running a Social Evening at the Community Hall on Friday, 25th September from 7 pm.
The Show bar will be open and food will be available too.
Everyone is welcome...look forward to seeing you there!
Please make a note of the next two events being organised by All Saints' Church, Gwynfe.
On Sunday, 27th September at 6pm there will be a Harvest Service in the Church followed by a buffet supper in Gwynfe Community Hall (SA19 9RD). Tickets for the buffet supper will be £7.50 for adults and £3.00 for children and there will be a raffle too. Contact June on 01550-740281 for tickets, or just buy on the night.
Non-perishable food (which will be passed on to the food bank) can be left in the back of the church, which is open daily.
Building on the success of the first event, there will be another Time For A Cuppa morning on Wednesday, 7th October in Gwynfe Community Hall from 10:30 to 12 noon.
Have a chat with neighbours and friends over a free tea / coffee and biscuits or get a bacon roll for £3. Again, everyone is most welcome to come along.

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

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.
