GLYN TARELL COMMUNITY COUNCIL

The Glyn Tarell Community Council now has a website at www.glyntarellcommunitycouncil.org.uk although up and running, I'm sure that more information will be added over the coming months.

 

Playground update 26th October 2011

Great news!  Our grant application for the nature area in the playground has been accepted by the Brecon Beacons Trust for £4520.00.  Looks like we have a bit of work to do and some organising to do for next spring!!!!  See attachment below. Essentially the terms and conditions state that we will spend the money on what we said we would, notify them of any changes or problems we have, that they can come see our project and they can check our accounts.

Playground update 3rd April_2011


Dear all,
we are making progress with the playground - we have recieved the attached documents and images from Park Leisure - they are NOT what we will necessarily have - the chap from Park Leisure was with Steve Butcher and offered to map and quote.

What next:
Rob G. has done some great (to scale) maps of the playground - that we need to add to.
Then end result should be a map with the items plotted (including large rocks) and the actual cost.
Once we have those and Sunita has written a summary document/proposal we can divide up funding sources and make applications/approach businesses as appropriate.

Sunita will try and catch-up with Steve Butcher and get some help with quotes on the rocks etc. that we can use in applications.

Please send all your ideas to the webmaster - especially those for funding - grants/businesses etc.

The Llanspyddid Playground Project - Update

Update: 11th March 2011

From: Sunita on behalf of Friends of Llanspyddid,

I met with Steve B. from Powys today, we measured out the playground, what types of equipment could go where, and he did some sketches, a play equipment provider also came along and made suggestions.

Steve will send me a digital file/map that we can use for our consultations.

We are planning on holding some consultations next week: please come with your ideas for play equipment and fundraising.

Friday 18th March 4.15 – 5.15pm venue to be confirmed (church or playground – depending on the weather)

Sunday 20th March 4.00 – 5.30pm venue to be confirmed (church or playground – depending on the weather)

If you can’t make any of those times please come and see me!

 

Thanks from the Open Door project

Kathryn received a letter from the Open Door project, where the money raised during the carol singing was donated too.

UPCOMING EVENTS & IDEAS IN MOTION

 

Meeting at Church - 10th April
We will be holding a meeting at the church on Sunday 10th April at 6.00pm, main topic will be arranging the forthcoming Street Party, plus a few more items.   All welcome.

Bingo – Saturday 7th May.
After the success of our previous Bingo night, we will be having another Bingo night in the church. Prizes on the night, plus we welcome any donation of prizes. Bingo books will be £2 for two books plus 50p for the final round which will have a grand prize.

Coffee/Tea morning in the church – After the success of our first Coffee/Tea morning, we are planning that these will continue on the first Tuesday of the month 10.00am – Midday. There will also be a book swap table plus a Over 50’s Low impact fitness training session. Contact Vera Davies for more details or just turn up.

Playground Equipment and Repairs – Ongoing.

There are ongoing discussions with Powys County Council regarding improvements to the village playground.  Powys have suggested that they will instal and maintain any equipment that we purchase.  See Sunita or Rob for details.

Village Christmas Tree – TBC
An idea was raised to display a village Christmas tree (felled) at the front of the Church for all to see.  This idea was well received by everyone at the 25th July meeting.  Potentially everyone could contribute/make a decoration for the tree and help hang the lights.  Possible caroling and merry-making as well.

Village Apples Trees – TBC
Another idea raised at the last meeting is to plant apple trees in the playground for everyone to enjoy.

 

These are the ideas put forth by you, the residents of Llanspyddid.  To make them come alive, we need your help and ideas for what you want your village to be.

Please share with us what you would like to see in Llanspyddid. Come to our next meeting on 12th September in the Church. Or if you are unable to attend then let Peter James or Brad Welch know of any suggestions to improve/help our village.
