The Village Alive Trust continues work to secure the closed St Teilo’s Church at Llanarth as a restored and useful landmark building with a project aptly named Calon Llanarth… Heart of Llanarth.

A Grand Draw to aid fund raising will be drawn at 12 noon at a Coffee Morning at Llanarth Village Hall on Saturday, May 7th. As well as coffee and cake and the main draw, there will be a varied stall of books etc to browse and a raffle for small prizes. Everyone is welcome to come to the Coffee Morning from 11am. Information from Pat Griffiths 01873 821418.

Meanwhile tickets for the Grand Draw are being sold at £2 each. Volunteers will be at The Market Hall, Abergavenny, on Tuesday, March 15th between 10am and 2pm to sell tickets and update anyone interested in the project, which aims to restore the eight bells and create a bell ringing training centre, as well as a café, exhibition space, heritage interpretation and a columbarium in the chancel for niches of loved ones ashes.
