3rd July 2019 Update

Good afternoon everyone,
Hope you’re all enjoying your gardening or just the beautiful weather and Pembrokeshire scenery?

Can those who are coming along to Aberglasney on the 12th of July be at Aberglasney by 10:45am at the latest please.
Or, If you wish to car share, then suggest we meet at the Village Hall at 10am please, should take us 40mins to Aberglasney.
The garden walk and talk with Joseph (head gardener) starts at 11am and lasts an hour, then after lunch you can walk around the garden at your leisure.

I’ve not arranged lunch, but this can be booked in advance if you wish by contacting the restaurant on 01558667959, although there is a small area designated for picnics if you wish.
The gardens open at 10am and close at 6pm, the charges are £8-90 per person and the £60 charge for Joseph’s talk will be equally divided between the 12 who are attending.
If we have 10 members paying the entrance fee, then the admission charge would be £7-60 per person, but since we’ve four members who are season ticket holders and they don’t count in the 10, then the fee is £8-90.
Hope that makes sense!

On the 22nd of July, I’ve provisionally arranged a visit to Llwyngarreg which is in the village of Llanfallteg, and is part of the National Garden Open scheme.
The owners Paul and Liz O’Neill are willing to allow us to start our visit at 6pm and finish at 8pm approximately.
This I’m hoping will be a convenient time for those of you who have busy lives (work), and Liz will provide refreshments (separate charge) if you wish? The entrance fee is is £4-50 for adults and children are free.
Please get back to me if you or any friends or family are interested in coming along and would like refreshments?

Also, don’t forget Ludchurch show at Llanteg Village Hall on the 2nd of August, schedule and entry forms available from Eve Cornthwaite on 01834 814826.
As far as I’m aware, you don’t have to live in Ludchurch to enter, and it’s not all about vegetables and flowers!

Finally for all our outdoor visits, please wear suitable clothing and sun-factor etc if conditions dictate.

Kind regards,
Roy
