Hello residents of Clyne and Melincourt
Our first charity fundraising event, Breast Cancer Now held on Friday 16th August was a resounding success, thanks to our amazing volunteers, those who funded the event, and those who gave their time on the day, also local businesses who supported us with fantastic donations, and of course our wonderful community who turned out in great numbers to help in raising £400 for this much needed cause!
We were also supported on the day with a visit from our local Cllr Leanne Jones and M.P. Carolyn Harris.
Heartfelt thanks to you all!!
This was followed by our 2nd Event, joining Ty Banc Canal Voluntary Group at Ty Banc Canal Festival on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th August. Thanks here to our volunteers who turned out to help make the fairground activities for this event and who helped set up for the festival. Friends of Clyne and Melincourt Voluntary Group certainly raised their profile at this free family fun day event, we had 2 stalls with interactive family activities, with jewellery making arts and crafts, cake decorating and of course our traditional fairground COCONUT SHY which was hand built and painted by our wonderful volunteers Stuart and Jeff. Again, we have had fantastic support from Cllr Leanne Jones and M.P. Carolyn Harris who attended the event and even won a coconut! (Thanks here also to L& J grocers Resolven, who kindly donated 2 sacks of coconuts!)
