OCTOBER NEWS FROM BETHLEHEM HALL
Firstly a heartfelt thank you to those who contributed to the Macmillan fundraiser on Friday 26th September. The Chilli For Macmilli event was a lot of fun, with a very entertaining Quiz hosted by Andy and Alan, preceded by a chilli-themed supper, which went down very well indeed.
Not a scrap of food was left on the plates, and everyone agreed that the beef, which was generously donated by Elaine, Moss and family from Glanceidrych, was excellent. Together with the raffle and donations, the total raised was £373. This is a fair bit less than last year, and the previous year, as sadly, fewer people chose to support the event this time round, but the hall is rounding up the total to £400, so it's still a commendable effort of behalf of our tiny community.
Our thanks go, of course, to the Glanceidrych family, Andy and Alan, Barman Wyn who was kept VERY busy all evening, Hazel for her help in the kitchen, Mel for selling raffle tickets, and to everyone who came for the supper/quiz, bought takeaway, donated raffle prizes, and gave cash donations. Diolch o galon i chi gyd.
Now that we are into the start of October, we have the Community Council meeting at the hall next Tuesday the 7th, then the following Monday. the 13th, the hall is being used by the Starry Stitchers group of friends during the day, followed by the monthly Community Quiz in the evening. It will be hosted by last month's winning team, the Four Seasons - including Andy and Alan so be prepared for a very entertaining evening!
October traditionally sees the beginning of our Supper Season. These community evenings are held monthly through the autumn and winter, and are an ideal opportunity for people from all over the scattered community to get together to enjoy a hearty two course meal, a few drinks, get to know new people, and catch up with old friends. All profits go towards the upkeep of our little hall, and they are vitally important in our efforts to make sure the hall stays open in order to benefit the whole community
We have provisionally set the date of the October supper for Friday the 24th, this will be confirmed next week. During October, we have a team of people from BBC Radio 3 visiting our hall to see if it's suitable for a broadcast during Advent. We are keeping everything crossed that it will go ahead, as it promises to be a lovely event, and would be the perfect start to our own Bethlehem Christmas so watch this space.
Finally, there is a very informative new podcast available called Hands Off Wales, looking at not only the pylons issue, but the (much) bigger picture regarding wind turbines, battery parks, solar farms and the whole infrastructure which could blight the entire heart of Wales, and North Carmarthenshire in particular. Please follow the link to view the first episode, you'll see that it is presented by Andy Brice of Llys Garn, and I'm sure you'll want to follow the podcast on a regular basis in order to keep up to date with the situation.

The Show Committee have asked us to let you know that the AGM of Sioe Gwynfe / Gwynfe Show will be taking place at Gwynfe Community Hall on Wednesday, 22nd October starting at 7:30 pm . Everyone is welcome to come along.
We are delighted that Tai Chi is about to start up again in Gwynfe Community Hall.
Here is a message from Sue, who runs the sessions:
Tai Chi Qigong for Health - Autumn Term 2025
Autumn Qigong journey is towards slowing down, breathing, and easing into a quiet mindfulness, simplicity and flow state. A time to invite in a simpler way of living - a sense of balance,
to combat the constant flurry of stimulation, stress and complexity.
I would love to welcome friends back after our break or if you're new, you are invited to drop in for a free welcome session to see if it’s for you.
We will start with a seated mindfulness session and relaxation. Then we will practise a gentle joint mobilisation sequence, some conditioning movements, slow breathing with qigong practices,
moving on to learning a simple flow sequence that we will add to - and practice as we go through the term.
By the end of the Autumn term, we will have a completed flow form to practice for life, along with the principles and confidence needed to practice inside and outside our sessions.
If you would like to come to our free taster session on
Tuesday 7th October from 4.30 to 6m, please send me a message at sue.j.wakefield@gmail.com or mobile 07780 544470.
The Hall Committee has been planning ahead! More details will follow, but for the time being please save the dates for the following events:
- Saturday 22nd November : Quiz Evening with food
- Wednesday 31st December : New Year's Eve Event
- Friday 23rd January 2026 : Sausage and Mash Supper Night

| What's on
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
