NEW TO WENVOE

PROBUS (2) CLUB, BARRY

We have recently moved our venue to Wenvoe Golf Club for our fortnightly meetings. The Club is for former professionals and businessmen to associate in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Normally at our meetings, we have a speaker followed by lunch.

During the summer months we vary our social programme by including our partners and friends at a dinner and our lunches. We also arrange skittle matches and a coach trip.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact our President, John Evans, on 02920 513976.

 

 

Welcome Evening for New Residents

 

The Community Council and Neighbourhood Watch will be hosting a Welcome Evening for the residents of the new estates in the village and anybody else who is new to the community, on Friday 3rd November at the Community Centre from 6.00pm to 9.00pm.

There will be displays and literature about the variety of organisations active in the village. These will range from physical activities such as Dancing, Tai Chi, Karate or Yoga to activities with talks such as Tuesday Group, Leisure Group, Women’s Institute and History Group, or activities with a more outdoor flavour such as Allotments Group and Wildlife Group.

There will be no charge and light refreshments will be available.

If you are a recent resident to the village – or have lived here longer and wish to brush up on your information – please call in during the evening to find out about the many organisations and activities in your village. You should find something to interest residents of all ages.

 

 

WENVOE CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR

 

Sunday 26th November 2017

10 am – 4pm. Wenvoe Community Centre

The Second Annual Wenvoe Christmas Craft Fair is only weeks away and we are getting very excited! We have a lovely selection of crafts on offer and the Village Gardener will be on hand with something to warm you up on his stall. When you’ve shopped don’t drop! Head over to the refreshments area and enjoy a break with a choice of hot and cold drinks, home made cakes and some warm savoury items. We have been so lucky to have received generous prizes from some of our lovely neighbours and friends and these include a stylish designer shoulder bag, a delicious large Christmas Hamper basket, a homemade, fully iced and decorated Christmas cake, a basket of luxurious beauty products, a confectionary basket, a bottle of Whisky, a ‘Frozen’ doll, 2 bottles of wine (red and white), jewellery, a beautiful vintage evening clutch bag and lots more. Make sure you get a handful of tickets – it would be madness not to! The proceeds from this years raffle will be donated to ‘Rally for Romeo – New legs and new life’, profits from the refreshments will be donated to St Mary’s Church Building Fund and a donation will also be made to the Village Hall Committee to help with the cost of building maintenance. We have had such wonderful support for our past fairs – please come and support us again and help swell the donations to these worthy Wenvoe Charities. We are delighted to have so many Wenvoe Crafters on board so come and see us. We would really love to see you and bring your friends and family.

We also require somebody to go to Llandaff each evening to exchange the sorted mail with the other participating scout groups and collect the mail for the Wenvoe area. By the end of the week with all the local mail sorted into roads we require deliverers. We are responsible for mail in Wenvoe , Brooklands area, Twyn-yr-Odyn, St Lythans, Dyffryn and The Downs.
