Remembrance: thousands of poppies and crosses in a Flanders field

The village defibrillator is in the old phone box at Village Green.

Situations Vacant

We urgently need a Treasurer, Caretaker and someone to check the fire alarm system in the Hall on a regular basis. The people who have undertaken these positions for many years have stepped down and these positions need to be urgently filled. If no-one takes on these important rôles, then the future of the village hall will become very uncertain.

the village craft group

The next date for our village craft group gathering is Tuesday 28th November, (the 4th Tuesday in the month) from1:30pm to 3:30pm in the Old School Hall. The cost is £2 plus £1 for unlimited refreshments with any profits going to charity. All are welcome to work on their crafts or just sit and chat over a cuppa or two - we even have a men’s table now!! 👍

We look forward to seeing you all.

Llandyssil Ladies Club

A new, varied and interesting programme has been arranged by Myra Hamer.

If you’d like to join the group or just pay a visit to a session that interests you (£3 to include refreshments), then please come along - we meet the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm in Llandyssil Old School Hall. If you want more information, please call Marilyn Pettit 668523 or Lynn Davies 668247.

Please come along and join us if you're interested in hearing from people in your community and you enjoy refreshments and a chat. An ideal place to make new friends!

MEG Free Bicycle Scheme

The scheme has been flourishing over the past year with over 520 refurbished bikes passed on free to delighted new owners after necessary work and refurbishment. We also carry out servicing to anyone’s bike to get them back on the road free of any labour charge - we just charge the cost-price of any parts used.

So, if you’re looking for a bike give Brett a ring on 01686 669730 and we should be able to help.

Getting on a bike not only gets you fitter but also saves CO2 - recycling a bike saves about ½ tonne of CO2 compared to making a new one.

Llandyssil Walking Group

There will be a full programme of monthly walks from the village on the 4th Wednesday of every month. We are also regularly invited to join the Montgomery group on the 2nd Wednesday of every month and the Berriew group, which offers two walks a month, but not on any fixed days.

A number of folk are regular walkers with their dogs. Sadly, there is an increasing problem of dog mess. Please ensure that every dog walker clears up thoroughly after their dog every time.

I wonder how many people have made use of the walk display on the end wall of the village bus shelter?

Keep walking and enjoy our beautiful countryside, but please remember the Country Code:

    ● be considerate of others living and working in the countryside

    ● leave all gates as you find them

    ● keep to the way-marked paths

    ● take all your litter home - if possible, take home a few extra pieces - there’s plenty of it about!

    ● keep your dog under close control at all times and pick up & properly dispose of any dog waste. Keep your dog on a short lead when around livestock - remember, a farmer is entitled to shoot any dog seen to be worrying or attacking their animals


Look out for details of up-coming walks and join us if you can to share the beautiful area in which we’re very fortunate to live. If you’d like more details, please contact me: Mike Membery at mikemem@phonecoop.coop or give me a call on 01686 668643.
