Friday 27th February Auction of Promises

Plans to extend and renovate Llanfechain Memorial Hall received a massive boost on Friday 27th February when a Promise Auction raised over £5000.  The project, which has already received substantial support from the big lottery fund, plans to include high specification insulation, double glazing, solar energy and a new green car park.  The organising Committee would like to thank the auctioneer, Geoff Whittall, everyone who gave pledges, and all those who made generous bids on the night.
The next fundraisers will be a Pub Quiz on Friday 20th March at 8pm in the Plas yn Dinas Inn and a May Day Festival on Saturday May 2nd on the Village Field. For more information contact Nita Duff on 01691 829081 or check this site.

Friday 16th January 2009 The Generation Game

People of all ages joined together in an evening of games.  New skills were learnt, old favourites revisited, and the daftest quiz you’ve ever seen was won by Audrey Moult.
The excuse for this evening of fun was to raise funds for the restoration of Llanfechain Village Hall and a total of £80 was added to the fund.  Chairman, Gwynne Owen, thanked everyone who had brought games, and everyone who had supported the evening.
The next event is a PROMISE AUCTION on 27th February at 7.30pm and  the Committee hope that there will be widespread support for this event. For more information contact Gwynne Owen 01691 828356

Saturday November 22nd 2008 The Community Celebrates

Llanfechain Memorial Hall was the venue for the official celebration following the £244,000 Big Lottery grant secured earlier in the year. On November 22nd all members of the community, young & old, were invited to find out about the time scale and progress for the extension and refurbishment of their Hall. Chairman Gwynne Owen opened the proceedings, informing those attending of the current position, followed by presentations from Doug Holmes, treasurer and Geraint Roberts, architect. There were colouring and treasure hunt competitions for children whilst adults got familiar with what their new hall would look like thanks to a scale model prepared by committee member Alan Duff. Pledges of volunteer labour were accompanied by donations. Refreshments which had been provided by the Committee supported by The Cheese Company of Oswestry were available for free; however donations to cover those costs and a grand raffle raised over £200.
