* A donation of £100 has been made to the Wales Air Ambulance made up of the “very modest”

proceeds of Apple Day, and also in lieu of a thank you gift for Kath, at Kath's request.

* Cymdeithas welcomed Adam to the meeting.

* Bike Show and Music Event - Pete was happy with the numbers attending considering the bad

weather and raised £1150 for LATCH.

Discussion continued with the need for more structured coordination between Cymdeithas and

event organisers. The Business Group will look at a tariff of charges to hire out different parts of

the village facilities e.g. kitchen, bar, bar staff.

* Apple Day - another very successful event in glorious weather. Thank you to all volunteers - Pat,

Bryn, John Celia, Kate, Philip and Judy. The N.T. have indicated that they would like to be more

involved with future events. Thank you to Paul for his informative talk and a request will be passed

on to him for a “ Practical Pruning “ day. Also thank you to Margaret for a donation from the sale of

her jams and chutneys.

Figures have been received from Edith up until the end of August. Turnover in the Bar and Shop

have increased year on year but this is balanced out with increasing costs. Cymdeithas account

is satisfactory and we will be able to invest in more and better electric cables for events. Adam will

price up cables, lights and anti-slip UV strips for the bridge ready for future events. After many years

looking after the website Kath will be handing over to Adam and Bryn who hope to have a social

website and a more business focussed website with links between the two. Shop - Volunteers are
