29 August 2022 Update

 Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all well and having an enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend in the unusually fine bank holiday weather.

With regard to the purchase of bulbs etc via Adele and from https://www.dutchbulbs.co.uk/

Could you place your order directly with Adele by Sunday the 4th of September please, there has to be a cut off date and the 4th is it!

As far as the visit to the Tywi Gateway Project at Abergwili on the 3rd of September from 10am onwards, this isn't a specific Garden Group visit, since it's a horticultural show, so if you can't make it, then I'm sure there will be public support on the day.

As mentioned in an earlier email, the Tea Room and Museum are open on the day.

In respect of the garden visit to Gelly Uchaf gardens at Rhydcymerau SA19 7PY on the 11th of September from 2pm onwards, .

Can you confirm if you are coming along, and if you require refreshments please, also we are limited by parking spaces, so if you can car share then this would be appreciated.

In the event of inclement weather, then Sunday the 18th September at 2 pm is an alternative date. 

The costs per person is £5 for entry, and £3.50 for tea/coffee and cakes.

Llanteg Show Update August 2022

 Llanteg Garden & Craft Show

Our first Village Show took place last Saturday, 13th August, being a joint effort between Llanteg Village Hall and the Gardening Group.

This show was for us a big step change compared with our previous Virtual Shows, but nevertheless it was well worth the effort and turned out to be a success.   

We received over one hundred and eighty entries, across the forty six show categories. 
Much appreciation to E.C.Thomas & Son of Zoar Chapel for very kindly sponsoring our advert in the Tenby Observer.

To all of you who helped out on the day, and to the judges, your efforts and skills are greatly appreciated.  In addition, thanks go to all of you who submitted entries, and to the public who came along to support this event.  

Apologies in advance for singling out people for a special mention, but to Ruth Roberts and Sue James our appreciation and gratitude go to you both for all your hard work in making this event run so smoothly.

Also, as a result of the generosity on the show day, we are in a position to donate a total of £226 to the Saudersfoot First Responders and the Wales Air Ambulance charities. 
Roy James, Hall & Garden Group Chairman
