An excellent Coffee Morning

The coffee morning last Sunday was a resounding success!

The weather was good and 3 large gazebos provided shaded areas for seating and serving. Approximately 40 people attended in all, a few staying only a short time whilst the majority stayed from start to finish. It was great to see everyone and so many new faces too.

The recently redecorated hall interior drew many favourable comments, and so many people were intrigued with the pictures depicting village history and its people.

A total of £134.40 was raised - £80 from the raffle, £7 as donations for the Picture Project and £47.40 as donations for tea, coffee, cake etc.

An excellent social event with good weather. A big thank you to everyone who helped in any way and thank you too, for attending and making it a success. Let's hope it's the start of other things to come.

Drive On assessment for older drivers

Drive On is a free assessment drive being offered by Powys County Council's Road Safety Unit for people aged over 65 years who hold a full driving licence. The free, one hour driving assessment scheme is aimed at helping older drivers in the county to drive with more confidence and safety.

Assessments are carried out by Approved Driving Instructors and can be taken in your own vehicle. Driving is so important to maintain independence but the risk of a collision increases with age - especially in those over the age of 75. The Road Safety Unit is keen to keep people driving safely for longer.

For more information, contact the Road Safety Department on 01686 611586 (not Fridays) or email road.safety@powys.gov.uk
