Christmas Carols at the Barracks, Nantlle
Everyone had a night to remember at the Barracks in
Nantlle on Tuesday night 14 December. Everybody had been
very busy organising the event, with Ysgol Baladeulyn
opening the night with Ysgol Talysarn following.
The Rock Workshop had 2 groups performing to the crowds
as well as the Nantlle Vale Royal Silver Band. The highlight
of the night for the children was the much-anticipated
arrival of Santa Claus, and no one was disappointed,
as each and every one of the children had a present.
Refreshments were available as well, with the girls
busy preparing tea, coffee, hot-dogs and so on. A big
thank you to everyone who had been busy preparing for
the night.

Clwb yr Iard
A Halloween night was held at the Barracks in Nantlle
by Clwb yr Iard. The success of the club has been tremendous
and as you can see from the picture below, there were
enough witches around to scare everyone in Nantlle!

Blodeuwedd
On Friday 26 November, members of the Blodeuwedd Group,
with the help of some of the children, planted 2 fruit
trees at Ysgol Baladeulyn. The 2 trees, an apple and
a plum tree, donated to the school by Blodeuwedd, are
part of an ongoing partnership between the group and
Ysgol Baladeulyn to establish a fruit & vegetable
garden at the school. Hopefully, this will introduce
the children to gardening, and encourage them to eat
more fruit and vegetables.
Blodeuwedd are looking at a number of community planting
projects for next year, some of which it is hoped will
actively involve many of the younger members of our community.

Cyfeillion Ysgol Talysarn – Recipe Book
The friends of Ysgol Talysarn are in the process of
putting together a cookery/recipe book together in order
to raise funds for the school. The name of the book will
be "Nosh Nant", and the hope is that it will
be ready to be sold by April. For any further information
contact Helen Hall.

Llysiau Lleu - Distributing Vegetables at the Centre
Llysiau Lleu is a group of people who come together
to learn more about growing, preparing and cooking their
own vegetables. The group have been meeting at Trigonos
for the last 2 years and now have 34 members. The group
have been distributing vegetables every week since July
2004 at the Community Centre. The vegetables, mostly
all organic, have been grown at Trigonos and Eithinog
Farm. For a small contribution every member receives
a varied selection of vegetables including potatoes,
carrots, onions, peas, broad beans, beetroot, garlic,
courgettes, lettuce, tomatoes, cabbages and many more.
Because of shortage of fresh vegetables available during
the winter months, Llysiau Lleu are having a short break
at the moment but will be restarting in the spring. One
of the biggest problems the group have is a shortage
of suppliers, so if you grow vegetables or produce anything
at home, e.g. eggs, Llysiau Lleu would be pleased to
hear from you. Contact Wena or Dafydd at the Partnership’s
office.

Clwb Silyn - Paper Craft, Pringles / Holland Arms,
Christmas Lunch / Panto
Clwb Silyn have been very busy recently, in which they
organised a trip to Pringles and Holland Arms to see
the Christmas decorations. Mareth Williams, the club’s
secretary reported that they’d had a wonderful
day with piece of cake and a cup of tea to finish the
day off.
At the end of November Lynn ‘Papercrafts’ was
due to entertain the club with her Christmas Cards demonstrations,
but due to unforeseen circumstances, could not attend.
Mareth kindly agreed to step into Lynn’s shoes,
(even though she was a bit nervous!), as she happens
to attend classes that Lynn holds every week at the Barracks.
Everyone thought the cards were wonderful and wanted
to buy the cards on the day!
On the 16 December 2004, the club had a wonderful Christmas
dinner at the Goat Hotel in Penygroes. The day consisted
of a singsong and everyone received a raffle prize, thanks
to Liz and Mareth who had been organising the day for
some weeks beforehand.
The following Saturday was the day of the Panto. The
bus left Talysarn quite early in order for those who
wanted to have a bit of Christmas shopping. Everyone
thought that the pantomime was wonderful.
