ANNUAL LUNCH: Our Annual Lunch will be at The King Arthur in Reynoldston this year. It will be on October 1st and there will be a coach to and from the venue. As this lunch has been well subsidised, the cost is only £25. A bargain! We will ask you nearer the time to choose your courses from a very good menu. Please pay Jackie to secure your place.
Chairman's Charity
At the May coffee morning funds raised by our raffle were handed to the charity "Mind Llanelli". The charity was chosen by past Chairman David Poulton and a cheque for more than £400 was presented by Mike Dingley-Jones who with his wife Margaret runs the coffee morning raffle.
We are now collecting for Maggies. Maggies
