Events etc

This page describes events and activities organised by Cymdeithas Y Dalar. For details of events sponsored by other organisations that may be of interest to members of CYD, please see the Other Events page.

Apart from the very good community spirit enjoyed by members of CYD as they work on their various allotment plots, the Committee arranges the occasional social get-together. A typical example of this is the parties that are held on the allotment site to celebrate the Summer and Autumn Solstice. These often involve some form of musical entertainment to accompany the eating and drinking.

Cymdeithas Y Dalar also supports the Llandeilo Show held each August, where they have the opportunity to mount an exhibition in one of the marquees to tell the local community all about the allotment project..

A representative of CYD serves on the Committee of the Llandeilo and District Gardening Club. Cymdeithas y Dalar is also represented on the Transition Town Llandeilo steering committee. These are yet other ways in which we encourage greater interest and participation by local people in the activities of CYD. This association with the Gardening Club has allowed one of our members to give a presentation at one of their meetings on the work of CYD and means that CYD members receive an invitation to attend the Gardening Club's annual open meeting.

As far as meetings away from the allotment site are concerned, the main event is the Annual General Meeting in October, when members are given the opportunity to air any concerns they may have and to hear of the Committee's plans for the coming year.
