The Management Committee of Llangors Community Centre is very grateful to BBNP for a grant of £2245.95 to cover the cost of replacing the boiler control panel with 3 Hive Thermostat controls as well as more LED lights.

The kettle has been working overtime at our Thursday Coffee Mornings recently as we gathered to celebrate two truly remarkable birthdays!

Josie Griffiths: In January, we raised a cup to Josie Griffiths, who celebrated becoming 101 years young. Josie has long been an inspiration to our community and it was a joy to mark this incredible milestone with her.

Doreen Tranter: The celebrations continued into February as Doreen Tranter reached her 100th birthday. Doreen is a familiar face to many, having regularly attended our weekly gatherings for years. 

Both ladies remain active members of village life, frequently joining us for our weekly coffee mornings and the monthly Luncheon Club. 

A highlight of the festivities was a heartwarming visit from the children of Llangors Church in Wales Primary School. The pupils performed a selection of special songs for Doreen—a fitting tribute to a lady who spent many years volunteering at the school to hear children read, until the pandemic paused her visits. 

We wish both Josie and Doreen many more years of health and happiness. We look forward to many more Thursdays spent in their wonderful company!

WINNERS:   

Men – The Castle Team

Women – The Red Lion Team

Happy New Year!

Record crowds braved the frosty but sunny weather to watch the annual Tug of War contest between the two hostelries in Llangors – The Red Lion and The Castle.
The event was hailed in by the chiming of the bells in St Paulinus Church, Llangors, by a group of local bell ringers.
The Tug of War contest commenced at noon with “pulls” across the Cui Bridge in the centre of the village.
The Castle team, competently led by Izaak Duffy, convincingly won the men’s event after 2 pulls. This was followed by a much closer fought contest between the women’s teams with The Red Lion team proving slightly stronger and after three pulls won the contest.
Cups were presented to the Captains of both teams, Izaak Duffy and Freya Morgan, by Melrose East, Chair Llangors Community Centre.
Sweets were given out to all the children who participated in a fun contest at the end.
Everyone retired to the two pubs to enjoy the New Year’s Day celebrations.
Thanks go to Colin Preece, Lawrence Duffy, Robert East and Paul Exton who stewarded
