Treasurer Wanted
Due to the retirement of our Treasurer we are now looking for someone to support the Village Hall in continuing the role. The Hall is operated by a group of volunteers to ensure that there is a community venue for hire in the village. If you are interested in supporting this village cause and helping maintain the accounts please contact Kath Thomas on 02920 597847 or email wenvoevillagehall@yahoo.co.uk
Wenvoe Village Show
THIS IS OUR OWN LOCAL SHOW. A chance for some friendly local competition. You don’t need to be an expert. This is the last time the show will be organised by the Scout Group, the newly formed Allotment Group will hopefully run it in future. Lets all make an effort to enter at least one item in this year’s show.
The show is limited to entries from people who live in the Wenvoe Community (Wenvoe, Parc y Gwenfo, Twyn-y-Odyn, St Lythans, Dyffryn) and children who attend the village school. Anyone who has regular connections with a village organisation but resides outside the community boundary and would like to submit an entry should contact the organisers. Contact via wenvoescoutgroup@ googlemail.com or any of the section leaders.
Entries to be registered at the Community Centre between 9.00 and 11.30am. The hall will then be closed until 2.00pm for the judging to take place and reopened from 2.00 to 4.30pm for the public to view the exhibits. From 4.00pm there will be a chance to sample some of the winning culinary entries yourself. If you wish to reclaim your entries they should be collected between 4.30pm and 5.00pm. Tea, coffee and squash will be available throughout the afternoon. Children’s section entries can be registered on Friday evening between 7.30 and 8.30pm.
Entry Fee. – 50p per section or as many sections as you wish for £3. Children's entrance fee is 20p per category or £1 for as many sections as you wish.

About the Village Hall
The hall will be holding its AGM on Tuesday 20th June at 7pm in the Village Hall
Our treasurer is stepping down this AGM so we are currently looking to appoint a new treasurer. We would like to thank Colin Thomas for all his hard work in keeping the accounts so neat and tidy and up-to-date. Thank you. If you feel you can spare some voluntary time to the Village Hall then please write to Mrs Gail Adams (Secretary), 5 Whitehall Close, Wenvoe, CF5 6DB to show interest.
Alternatively why not come along to the AGM on 20th June? All residents are welcome to attend.
A little history on the Wenvoe Village Hall – The Village Hall sits on land owned by ‘The Estate of Wenvoe’. It was offered to the village to use for a peppercorn rent pre-war times. The hall as it is seen today, was rebuilt in 1974. Some say before that it was a tin shack. However, I have fond memories of the old building as a child, attending many a function there and can only remember the tin doors. It was used for many events from talent competitions, dancing, weddings, Judo and for the community to come together to celebrate community life (No different to the hall today). Many groups meet here including; dancing for all ages, badminton classes, martial arts and is the home of the community run playgroup.
The hall is our local charity and belongs to us as a community. It is not funded by the Vale of Glamorgan and relies on a committee of residents to collect rents, apply for grants and general fundraising for its up-keep. At this point I would like to thank Rachel Marshall who supported the Committee with applying for a grant for our new kitchen. Thank you Rachel your support was very much appreciated.
Without a Committee at the Village Hall, the hall and its land will be passed back to the land owners. The lease states that we must have a number of residents on the committee to support the hall. This is where you can help your community. If you don’t want to lose your hall, playgroup, classes of recreation then please come to the AGM on 20th June or contact us at wenvoevillagehall @yahoo.co.uk
We don’t want to see a block of flats or more housing on this valuable piece of land, so we really do need you to contact us and show your support.
