Coffi Troddi Local Paths on June 18th

Posted on by

Last month Coffi Troddi had a display about the wonderful walking in our beautiful local landscape, with fabulous views and the first snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells.

We explored our maps of the footpaths, bridleways and byways in Mitchel Troy Community Council area and of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and  leafed through our leaflets and discovered the wealth of info available online.

 

IMG_0569There will be a guided walk up to Lydart Farm’s historic building on Saturday September 10th.  The walk will start at 2pm at St Michaels, with a view to arriving at Lydart Farm at about 3pm.  Anyone who does not want to do the walk could meet us at the Farm at 3pm to enjoy one of Diana’s wonderful teas.  Walkers would then aim to get back to St Michaels at about 4:30pm.

Come and join us at our

Mitchel Troy Village Lunch

We are using the Queen’s Official Birthday as an excuse to get together

Rather than going up to The Mall in London for the Patron’s Lunch (at £150 a go!) or organising a Big Lunch street party, we thought we would have a Village Lunch.  It’s on Sunday 12 June starting at 12:30.

The idea is that you bring food to share & your own drinks and we’ll supply the crockery, cutlery and glasses.

It really was a very enjoyable event with a wonderful array of food that was shared by all – perhaps we could encourage some of you to organise another one later in the year????!!!

MTVH AGM notice

The Village Hall AGM is on Wednesday 4th May (yes, the day before the Assembly Election) at 8pm.  Refreshments will be provided and we look forward to seeing everyone who has enjoyed the Hall and wants to know how it is progressing.  We have had a busy year and are progressing well with our next project – a defibrillator for the Village.

We really want to hear your views on how the Hall is used and also want to ask for as much help of all kinds as you can offer.  The Hall is volunteer run for the benefit of Mitchel Troy and surrounding area and more hands would make much lighter work.

Following our AGM, we welcome Kevin Hall, who has been appointed as our fifth Trustee and David Llewellyn, who has joined us on the Committee.  After a round up of the projects and events of the past year, progress on the defibrillator project was brought up to date.  An application has been made to the British Heart Foundation for funding and this has been approved by the Welsh Ambulance Service, so we are now just waiting to hear from the BHF.

Would you like to know how to use a defibrillator?  Des Hughes, from NHS Wales,

Weds, 9 March, 7.30pm

Our plans to install an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) at the Hall are going well.  Please help us fund raise by either:

  • Personal donation or
  • Buying Rotary Club Prize Draw 2016 tickets.  All Prize Draw ticket sales, via Mitchel Troy Village Hall, will go towards our defibrillator.

Total cost is expected to be approx. £1000.  The Community Council has already committed £250 from the 2016/17 precept and with donations from generous residents and the Bridge Club, we are well on our way towards the target.

Everyone welcome
