VILLAGE SHOP CLOSURE - LATEST
It is with great sadness that we learn that Jules and Mick are going to close the village shop very soon. Their reasons are posted on the notice board outside the shop for all to read.
There are options to retain the shop for the benefit of the village that are going to be discussed by The Community Council. There are plans for a public meeting in June when it is intended to invite representatives from the community shops of Llanbadarn and Trefeglwys
to hear how they started trading.
Your comments, suggestions or proposals can be communicated to Council members or emailed to the Community Council by clicking HERE.
A HOOT?
Species Habitat Coffee Morning
The recent coffee morning to raise funds for the Llandinam based Species Habitat Protection Group, a registered charity, was a great success.
Over £ 300 was raised for the charity which is committed to preserving breeding sites for Barn Owls that are, including their nests and eggs, protected under the 1981 Countryside Act.
The charity is very small and mainly relies on donations, coffee mornings, concerts and presentations given by Ecologist and group founder Jon Sloan. These funds raised are used to make and maintain nesting boxes and preserving neglected upland barns which are known breeding sites
for the birds.
If you would like to volunteer Jon would be glad to hear from you on 01686 688601.
