The committee wish to
thank everybody who has helped throughout the week,
to all our sponsors and a special thanks to all our
loyal supporters, not forgetting those local people
who were unable to come to the activities but who have
been so generous in their support from year to year.
Even the weather was kind this year!!
Open garden
An additional event formed this year's May Festival, when, over the weekend
of the 24th and 25th March in early spring sunshine,
Mr and
Mrs Black opened their gardens at Gwernoer Nantlle
(see the photographs below).
The Committee wish to thank everyone who came to support
us and especially Reg and Megan for their kindness.
