It’s been a busy year at the Hub, welcoming the community as they emerged from Lockdown. We have started several new initiatives and built on previous successes. Clwb Clonc, Silver Foxes and Babies and Toddlers have grown in numbers and enabled members to meet new people that they can now call friends. We look forward to our next Wellbeing group and Cuppa with a Coppa meetings in the new year.
Each of our Talks at the Hub has been a sell-out, the Village Show demonstrated how much talent we have in our community, and our new language conversation groups are successful.
Our events and activities couldn’t have been achieved without the hard work of our committed volunteers who are always happy to help and welcome visitors to the Hub.
Volunteer quotes of the month
I enjoy being part of a group in giving back to the community that which I have received.
The success of the Silver Foxes brings a diverse range of elderly guys together to chat about anything that has been common in their lives.
It’s a joy seeing so many children bringing their grown-ups in.
Pre-loved books
Thanks to all who have, over the year, donated us their pre-loved books. We are still accepting small quantities of books that are in excellent condition.
Christmas Raffle
Our Christmas raffle tickets are for sale at the Hub for two lovely M&S hampers full of Christmas goodies. The draw will take place on Saturday 17 December at 12 noon.
Talks at the Hub
Brunel in South Wales – Steve Jones
Friday 27th January at 7.00pm
Tickets are £3.00 and will be for sale from the Hub in the New Year
Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s work in South Wales has been largely overlooked. Yet South Wales provided the landscape in which many of his innovative works were pioneered and Brunel the engineer is represented there at virtually every stage of his career. Many of these engineering landmarks survive and are still in use to this day.
Born in Cardiff, Stephen K. Jones writes and lectures on local and industrial history, photography and Brunel and his works. Steve will be examining the achievements and legacy of Brunel in South Wales. He will look at railways, docks, piers, and other connections, including Brunel’s great ships which had strong links with South Wales, despite not having been built there.
Christmas Opening Hours
The Hub will be closed to the public for Christmas from Wednesday 21st December and will open again on Tuesday 3rd January.
Hub directors and volunteers wish you a joyful holiday and a happy and healthy New Year.
