Monthly Farmers' Markets

5/12/2019

One of many aspects of Llangynidr Agricultural Show that we are very proud of is the farmers’ and producers’ market marquee. It is always full of interesting stalls and is a real hive of activity. Over 10 years ago, the committee built on that success to run a monthly market. The next market is on Sunday December 15th, from 10-1 in the Village Hall. The December market is always popular with lots of Christmas gift ideas. In fact, we’ve heard that Santa Claus enjoyed his visit last year so much that he will be calling in again this year. Please drop in and take a look around.

However…December 2019 is currently the last market we have planned (other than on show day in August). We no longer have anybody available to organise the monthly markets, so until we can find someone to take this on, we are unable to continue. January and February are always quiet months for the market anyway, but it would be great to see this back up and running by March or April ready for Easter.

If any individuals or groups would like to get involved, or to find out more, please contact Brian Cope on 07976 884594 or at llangynidrshow@gmail.com (or use our contact page). Please don’t let this market die. We are open to any and all ideas for changes to further improve the success of the markets, so don’t feel constrained by current arrangements. Please talk to us about your ideas and how you can help.

In the meantime, we would like to thank all of our market traders and customers for all their support to date and we sincerely hope to be able to get back to running regular markets as soon as possible.

There is NO CHANGE to our plans for show day markets and we very much look forward to having the usual excellent mix of stalls filling the marquee on 30 August 2020.

New Blood

19/11/2018

We are out for blood!!
Each year a group of farmers and villagers pull together in a very
special way to put on Llangynidr Agricultural Show. They have done
this for the last twelve years – and now they are out for blood!
‘New blood’ is needed to help with the organisation of the Show and
to keep it up to date. We are not talking about putting up tents and
gazebos for Show Day but the planning, running/organising and
logistics of the Show itself.
If you have hidden talents or skills of modern life and would like to
help then come along to the AGM on 21 January at 7.30pm in the
Village Hall (or contact us, as below). Make yourself known to us!
We are aware that there are many ‘newcomers’ to the village (and
some longer residents) who might be ready to take a more active role
in the village. Here is your chance!
For further details please contact us
Diolch yn fawr Thank you.

Wales Air Ambulance

18/9/2018

We are very proud to have been able to support Wales Air Ambulance this year. We all appreciate the essential service this charity provides. By a combination of our own efforts, including a sheep being led around the showground by her owner Louise with a bucket for contributions, and the fundraising team from Wales Air Ambulance on site raising awareness and selling their charity merchandise, we managed to raise £200 on show day.

We were very pleased to be able to present Annie Lawrie, representing Wales Air Ambulance, with a cheque for £200 yesterday evening. Thanks to Annie for all her efforts supporting the show and for coming along to meet us yesterday. We send Wales Air Ambulance our very best wishes and hope to be able to support them again in the future.
