Upcoming Events
Mynydd Gwyn July Revel
17 July 2010
St Samson's Hall, Pentre Gardens, Grangetown, Cardiff, CF11 6QJ
From 14:00 until late.
As Ffair Rhaglen is drawing near this month's revel will have an A&S theme, giving us a chance to get together and work on pieces of garb or items for the A&S competition, all in the company of the warm, friendly shire that is Mynydd Gwyn.
Food will be pot-luck with some games and dancing to occur after dinner.
Site fee will be approximately ten pounds, although the more people who show up the less the fee is!
Email the Chatelaine for further details: chronicler@mynydd-gwyn.org.
