Twmpath Comes to Penygroes

Twmpath group Rattlin’ Bog came to Penygroes Rugby Club on Saturday evening.  Around 30 people turned out to have a great evening.  

Some had to be drawn out onto the dance floor, but once they were there, they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Jeff did the BBQ - with Welsh Beef sausages & burgers.  There were vegetarian burgers cooked separately for those who didn’t eat meat.  Eleri and Mair made the salad & fruit.  

Lots of people went up for seconds - but then they could dance the calories off afterwards.

It’s a shame there weren’t more people from Penygroes Ward.  Here are some pictures so that you can see what you missed.

This is what Wikipedia has to say about a Twmpath

“Twmpath“is a word meaning a hump; once signifying the mound/ hump/ village green upon which the musicians sat and played for the community to dance. But mostly used and a verb (twmpath) to refer to a Welsh barn dance, very similar in spirit to a ceilidh or a fest-noz. The music and dances are predominantly Welsh, but Breton styles are often played as well because of the close cultural and linguistic links between Brittany and Wales.

To take part in a TWMPATH,  dancing to Rattlin’ Bog, along with some nice food and drink, contact Phil Owen at the Forum Office to get your ticket.

Emlyn Development Planning Applications  

I’ve been asked to publish the links to the 5 planning applications submitted by Protex.  If you have an opinion on these applications, it’s important that you let the Council know.  It’ll be too late once the applications are passed.  If you need any help, call in to see me in Neuadd Goffa.

The first (E/16741) relates to moving the entrance to the Emlyn site 50m nearer to the Gorsddu Rd. junction - through the recently-built community garden.

The second (E/16742) relates to amendments to the “Phase 1″ planning application already passed, plus a new application for part of “phase 2″

The 3rd (E/16743) relates to an outline application for moving the rugby club and providing a new youth centre sometime in the future.

The 4th & 5th (E/16744 & E/16745) relate to adding another 3 years onto the time limit for developing parts of the site.
