ABOUT THIS SITE: This site has been created and maintained by Llandinam Village Hall, but is intended to benefit the whole village. A
community like ours is sustained by the interplay of all ages, all interests, all backgrounds and all occupations - a healthy mix of the
social, cultural
and commercial. A thriving village needs both
strong businesses and strong facilities, so we are hoping this site will be of use to you, either as contributor or browser.
Let us know of anything you would like us to include. It
may be possible to create pages for your organisation, business or project at at little or no cost. Please get in touch.

 A CLEAN SWEEP Residents of Llandinam may have a spring in their step when they next use the hall. The carpets and wooden floors have been given a thorough overhaul and are gleaming.  The work was carried out by Newtown-based contractor Good as New and proprietor Lee can be contacted on Freephone 0800 169 79 71. He also does upholstery cleaning. More info on his website www.goodasnew.me.uk. AGM & OPEN DAY A Message from the New Chairman We were very pleased to see such a good attendance at the AGM this year. This was the first time that we had held our AGM in this way. Since the Village Hall belongs to Llandinam, and everyone (over 18) living in the village is a member of the Association, we decided on this open format to allow as many people as possible to take part. We are very pleased with the results, and hope to make it even better next year. I should, at this juncture, offer the thanks of the Committee to Mike Jones for his guidance as Chairman over the last two years, a time which has seen significant progress in the development of the hall and its facilities. It is our ambition, as a committee, to continue making the Hall accessible to more and more people in the community. We always welcome new ideas and we are always happy to support new ventures. The hall has a hardworking committee but if the hall is to achieve its full potential needs even more people to engage with it. We need your help! We have in Llandinam a wonderful Grade 2 Listed Hall and we should always strive to make best use of it for all the community. It is my ambition as Chairman of the Committee, as it was as Chairman of the Maintenance and Development committee, to continue improving what we can offer to current users, and to be able to hand on a well-maintained and vibrant asset to users of the Hall in the future. Brian Allen LLANDINAM VILLAGE HALL Llandinam Village Hall is used for community events of all kinds, but it's also an ideal place for a family celebration with its large hall and licensed bar - or for smaller meetings and talks. There is car parking in the community car park opposite - on the main A470 - and accommodation and meals at the Lion Hotel (01686 688233) with its own car park, next to the Community Car park. With the village shop and post office a few yards away, and situated off the main A470 half way between Llanidloes and Newtown, it's convenient for both and easy to find. Ring Mike Jones (01686) 688730 to check availability.
