The Valeothon Event
Following on from last month’s article, we thought a little bit more information about the Valeothon event on Sunday 30 June wouldn’t go amiss.

The inaugural Carers walk took place at Barry Island on the last Thursday of April.

I expect the keen eyed residents of Wenvoe have spotted a growing number of cyclists in the village these last few summers. That is not such a surprise when we have a cycle route passing through the village but we also have our own cycling club, right here in Wenvoe. It was quite a surprise to me to find […]
