Brilliant Evening of Wine Tasting

We had a brilliant evening last Friday (Dydd Santes Dwynwen) in the upstairs room of the Badgers, Blaenau.  Carmarthenshire company Gwingar talked us through 8 different wines and how they complemented the tastes from 2 different food menus (red wine menu & white wine menu).

Caryl & Julian Tandy had worked really hard preparing the food and Eleanor did an excellent job as a waitress for the evening.

Boxing Day Walk 2007

The weather was perfect for the boxing day walk - dry and not too cold.  John lead the way from the Farmers Arms, via Spien Rd., onto Maesglas Rd. & then over the top to Caerbryn.  From there, it was a bit of a pull up Caerbryn Rd. and then across Penygroes Woods to reach Llandybie Rd.

It was good to see some new faces this year.  Some stayed on at the Farmers to put back on some of the calories they’d burned off during the walk, but everyone enjoyed the afternoon. Perhaps someone will organise an Easter walk - any volunteers?

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 Saturday 20th October

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.
