Nonagenarian Birthday Greetings

Hugh - the day before his 90th Birthday

27/4/07

Many happy returns to Hugh James of Arfryn who celebrates his 90th Birthday on 28th April 2007.

Hugh comes from an old Crunwere family and was himself born and bred in Llanteg: growing up just over the road at Blackheath.

Hugh has been most helpful to the History Sociey over the years; from telling us stories of old inhabitants to helping indentify photographs.

Hugh's support and encouragement of our efforts has been most gratifying.

We hope you have a very Happy Birthday Hugh.

Stile Opposite Mountain Chapel

This is one of the two stiles that were built to cross 'Llanteg Mountain' - a quick way for the children to cross over to get to Crunwere School before its closure in 1946 (now Seabreeze).


We are hoping to get the two stiles tidied up over the summer.

30 April - I've cleaned up the one near the old Council Houses - it seems fine - it was just covered in ivy and is in great condition.

Crunwere Church - Unsafe

John Lewis-Tunster and Mick Day will be taping around the church this week to prevent people getting within 3 metres of the building in case of accidents.

Update on Llanteg Mountain Garden

Just popped in to see what it was like.
Pleased to say the gate now opens very easily thanks to the Community Council.
Went inside the garden area and only about four little weeds poking through the slate chippings -  which I've removed.
Once the planters are fastened in place we can get them planted up and organise an unveiling after the plaque is made.
