Carreg Las Ceilidh Band entertained a full house in the Millennium Hall on 28th October, despite many rival local attractions nearby. A jolly good evening it turned out to be too. This Twmpath was supported by the "Night out Scheme".

The August Bank Holiday walk this year took us out of our community and into Llanboidy. We met up on a bright but very breezy day at Braffle Cross Road. We were all entertained by Betty before leaving in her inimitable style, with jokes and promises of tea on return. This was a walk with views in all directions. We set off east, then turned back north westerly, and every gateway showed us what fine scenery we have on our door steps.

Sunday August 6th saw the trip to Margam Park. A nearly full executive bus from Jones Login, and driven by no lesser person than the Managing Director Endaf guaranteed we would have the finest air conditioned coach in the fleet and the best of drivers. We were not disappointed. Almost to time we left on a rather murky morning, with a forecast that was as wide open as any book, "misty, sunny periods and maybe rain."

We arrived without incident, having past by the Maes on the Eisteddfod site at Filendre on the way.

We saw sun on the way, but the misty conditions prevailed at first at Margam Park. The bus soon emptied and our party was soon completely dispersed in the vast spaces of the park. The deer herd were very popular, if a bit difficult to track down. Gradually the sun took charge and most of the afternoon was under blue skies and very warm sunshine.

A wonderful site with some terrific assets like the orangry, walled garden and lakes. However it lacked a bit of sparkle, and one of us commented, "looked just a shade tired".
