Last meeting before summer break

Well, the weather wasn't good enough for cappuccinos in the park so we stayed in the hall instead! Thanks to John and Russ for taking the orders and serving us our drinks.  We had a quiz (and the girls beat the boys!) and we had a game of bingo.  Big thanks to Maddie and Cameron for calling the numbers, ably assisted by Chris!

We are hoping to attend Mama Mia! at The Millennium Centre in either October/November this year. Chris is looking in to dates available and will have an update for us when we get back together in September.

Lovely surprise to see Mary and John at the hall today.   Mary has been in hospital but is looking great now.

Unfortunately, Sue had to return her motability car so did not attend group today for the first time in years.  Hopefully, the situation will be resolved quickly and Sue will be able to come back to group in September.

All that's left is to wish everybody a lovely summer break and we'll see you on 7th September.

Last Meeting before Summer Break

We will meet at the Pensioners' Hall as normal on 27th July.  If the weather is ok, we will go to Betws Park and have a coffee and a good natter!  If you have thought of any craft ideas for September, please let us know on Wednesday.

Visit to Talgarth Mill and the Railway Restaurant, The Three Cocks Garden Centre.

We had a wonderful day visiting the Talgarth Flour Mill.  We had a very interesting and informative tour of the mill where the process for making flour was witnessed first hand.  We had drinks in their coffee shop and then had a wander around the craft shop.

We then went for lunch at the Garden Centre where we enjoyed the food and shopped a little.  A cheeky stop on the way home for ice-cream made the trip complete!

Thanks again to Brian for driving the bus!

If anybody has any photos from the visit, please bring them (or the device they are on) to club.

General Information and Request for Your Ideas

If anybody has any suggestions for the craft activity they would like us to do in September, please bring your ideas for discussion to group on 27th July.

We're hoping to run our annual Christmas Craft stall on 2nd December.  Due to the success of last year, we are hoping that Tesco will let us use their foyer again.

We will be going to the theatre in December, possibly Cardiff. Watch this space for further information.


Dates for your Diary

27th July - last group meeting before summer break.

7th September - first group meeting after summer break

Details for Trip to Talgarth Mill on 20th July

We will not be in the Pensioners Hall on 20th July.

For those travelling by mini-bus, you should meet in Tesco car park (petrol station end) by 9.30am. The first tour of the mill is booked for 11am and will take about an hour.  We will probably split into two groups and while the first group is on the tour, the second group can have coffee and look in the craft shop and then swap over.  Lunch is booked for 2pm at the Railway Restaurant, The Three Cocks Garden Centre.
