SPRING AT BETHLEHEM HALL

Here is the notice of the forthcoming AGM, to take place on Wednesday May 2th. Click here to download.

During the month ahead, we have the Chapel using the hall this Sunday as it's the annual Gymanfa Ganu. The Starry Stitchers will be at the hall on Monday 12th, with the monthly community quiz happening that evening at 7.30pm.

We have plenty of availability if anyone is interested in hiring the space over the coming weeks, just get in touch if you'd like more details.

Many thank to everyone who ordered savoury tarts over the last few weeks. It would seem that the most popular meal in the Bethlehem area at the moment is a savoury tart of some variety, with new potatoes and salad!

All those orders have now been made and delivered/collected, so we are happy to take orders again if anyone would like any of the following -  Asparagus with cheese, asparagus with ricotta and toasted pinenuts, Mediterranean vegetable (limited), cheese and onion (limited), leek and walnut. Newly available is the old Bethlehem Sunday Cafe and Takeaway favourite of potato, onion and cheese pie. Everything is made fresh to order.

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
