23 Nov 2020 Update

 Good evening everyone,

I hope you all had a good day and that you spent some time outdoors enjoying the best of the weather.

I've arranged a visit to Aberglasney along with a walk and talk with Joseph Atkin (Head Gardener) on Friday the 27th of November, sorry for the short notice, but it looks like from the weather perspective, then Friday may be the best day of the week.
I'm hoping that we can meet up at Aberglasney at 11am and then either have a w&t with Joseph before or after lunch, obviously social distancing and the wearing of face covering indoors applies, and if there are any other precautions in place, then I will make you aware.
As I understand, the entry fee for non members is £9:50 with vouchers to the same value and for use in the restaurant on the day, see Aberglasney notice below.
Can you tell me if you are attending on Friday please, just to give Joseph an idea of our numbers, also note that the cost of the w&t will be £60 which will come out of our existing funds.


Kind regards,

Roy

16th Nov 2020 Update

 Good afternoon everyone,

Hope all is well with you all and that you are either in the warm, or if your outside, then your wrapped up well.

As for the Aberglasney visit, we have enough interest, so I'm looking into the weather crystal ball to find a suitable date.
So I will get back to you soon.

As for the Christmas virtual show.
We could do with a few more entries across all the categories. So we would appreciate your help please, after all it's important to raise our spirits at this time, and to show how creative you are.

Cheers,

Roy

9th Nov 2020 Update

 Good evening everyone,

I really wish it had been a better day, what dreadful weather, still it's good to be able to move around a little! 
With regard to our planned gardening talk with Joseph Atkin on Wednesday evening at the village hall, unfortunately since meetings are still not recommended, I've had to cancel our talk.
However, if anyone is interested in a talk and walk around Aberglasney in the coming weeks, then please get back to me and I will ask Joseph for a suitable date and time?

Many thanks to everyone who helped in weeding and cleaning up the Old School Garden recently, unfortunately we had to defer our last planned session because of lock down, but I'm sure there will be other opportunities.
Thanks also to Pauline and Ken for planting the eighty bulbs (bluebells and snowdrops etc) and six fruit bushes we received from Keep Wales Tidy and all planted at the OSG.
In addition, many thanks to Roger and the Amroth Community Council for improving the access to the OSG and for the work at the Clay Pit entrance and Mountain Chapel, along with the new seating near Lansdowne and Stanwell. 

If you're still looking for gardening inspiration, then have a look at the following, although others gardens/gardeners are available on YouTube:












But if that doesn't help, then what about sending a few entries into our Virtual Christmas Show, the closing date is the 7th of December, so plenty of time to create and capture your entry. The email address for entries is; llantegshow@gmail.com

Also, thanks to everyone who completed the Village questionnaire, your views are appreciated, so any further questionnaires would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, Llanteg Village Hall has been chosen as one of the Co-ops local charities to benefit from their community fund, so if you've a Co-op card then please go on line and nominate Llanteg Village Hall, the more nominations we get the better.  

Many thanks, and stay safe,

Roy.
