Supper & Shanties

What a wonderful evening we had on Sunday  and raised a magnificent £400 to send to the RNLI.  A fascinating quiz expertly compered by Peter stretched the brain cells, the fish pies and the alternative veggie lasagna were yummy and the lemon tarts and special brownies absolutely delicious, and then we had a great singalong of sea shanties with Bygonz

Local walk to explore historic Lydart Farm and enjoy Diana’s scones

A beautiful day for a walk and thoroughly enjoyed by those who walked up and those who met them at Lydart Farm.  Thank you so much to Diana and David Price for their hospitality.

Well that was a soggy day, wasn’t it!  But the horrible weather could not dampen the enthusiasm of our wonderful volunteers as they set up the tents, stalls and games nor diminish the wonderful aroma of the Hot Dogs sizzling on the BBQ.  Those who braved the elements seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves, joining in the dog show and the fun and games.  And the VPA Show was another resounding success with beautiful displays of flowers and produce, cakes and preserves and, of course, the children’s entries.

Our next Coffi Troddi will have a display of crafts from all around the world.

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.

There 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.

Advance Notice

The Village Lunch, using the Queen’s Official 90th birthday as an excuse for a get together, will be held on Sunday June 12th at 12:30.  We suggest bringing food to share and your own drink.  We’re hoping for some music as well.
