Unfortunately the church does not have any storage until then. Now that we are almost back using the church building, this fair will include all the stalls we used to have 6 years ago .... crafts, linen, good china, gifts for all occasions especially Christmas. There are the usual stalls; plants, cakes, sweets, deli and of course the excellent Cafe. Thank you for your support.

I have just had a phone call from someone saying "your internet connection will be terminated in one day unless you log into" did not catch the place as I hung up immediately. I strongly suspect this is a scam as my internet provider says they will never contact me by phone.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain … View moreWhat do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

We’ve had people enter Maymorn plantation forest during intensive harvesting operations despite the extensive signs and warnings. While anyone can make mistakes, this behaviour is deliberate and reckless.
A 48ha block of mature trees around Maymorn is being harvested and this will continue through to Christmas. GWRC and PF Olsen have done everything we can to ensure visitor safety and part-access to the forest during the harvesting. All the information is on our website – please use it to plan your trip. If you are visiting please read and heed the signs for your own safety.
