On a somewhat cold and damp day, the volunteers assembled in three locations. The first group dealt with overhanging trees south of Trebanos Locks, the second painted the railings at Coed Gwilym Park (sorry, no photos) and the third sold craft items in the Co-Op, Clydach.
The Society was recently nominated for the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, so the main business of the day was to welcome Jane Clayton, Deputy Lieutenant of West Glamorgan, who was visiting us to find out more about the Society as part of the QAVS assessment process. Jane spent several hours with us, chatting with many of the volunteers and in the process walking all the way from Trebanos to Clydach, occasionally in the rain. We certainly enjoyed her visit and hope she did too.
