I’ve added a short walk through Penygroes Woods. It’s especially lovely at this time of year.
Look on the right hand side of the website under Pages, then Countryside Walks.

Treasure Hunt
The Treasure Hunt went ahead on a lovely Saturday afternoon. Only 2 teams competed, so won 1st and 2nd prizes. Both teams found the course interesting, going through areas they hadn’t seen for years.
Thanks to Paul from The Badgers, who supplied the food in Blaenau Hall afterwards. This was much appreciated as he was also catering for the very large funeral party after the tragic death of Mark Walters.

Treasure Hunt This Saturday
Remember the Treasure Hunt this Saturday, starting from Penygroes Pavilion at 4 pm.
There’s free food at 6pm for those who’ve had a go. All you need is a car (or a friend with a car) .
Entrance is only £1 for a team of 1 to 4 people.
As with many things, it’s more fun with more than one so why not team up with someone & give it a go.
1st prize is dinner for 4 at the Badgers Bar & Brasserie, Blaenau.

Planning Permission Given after Site Visit
Protex Corporation have been given planning permission to move the entrance to the Emlyn site so that it goes through the new community garden and the library. There are conditions attached to the permission - a new library and garden must be built first and the Gardening Club must be compensated for their financial loss. The Forum have today (9th October) handed in a petition to Carmarthenshire County Council asking them not to sell the land which they promised to the community for 15 years so that the garden could be built. It is very difficult to persuade people to do anything for their community if the result of their hard work is not respected.
The planning application for 3-story houses and appartments on Gorsddu Rd. was not approved and Protex were told to redesign the site so that there are only 2 storey houses and more parking spaces.
