MAY TRIP UPDATE

Delma giving advice on colours

A wide range of items to paint

Tuesday 28th May saw the group go on our Mystery Trip. We left Llanarth school car park at 5:45pm and headed south. Going through Synod Inn we carried on the road towards Cardigan. However when we came to Gwenlli, we took a right turn at the crossroads and headed towards Cwmtydu, going through the village of Caerwedros, finally stopping at the end of the village by the green tin shed that was formally know as Derw Stores and which is now

Denise working on her flowers

know as the "Pea Pod Junction".

Margaret W in deep concentration

The Pea Pod is a lovely vintage shop selling hand made soaps, brooches and quirky gifts. To the rear of the shop is a pottery studio where you can choose an item from a vast selection on display and paint it yourself - the possibilities are endless and there were plenty of ideas to inspire us in our painting. We all found it very relaxing and hugely satisfying. When our chosen pots, tiles or dishes had been painted they were left for glazing and firing. We were all given friendly help and advice from Delma their experienced potter.

Now that's what I call a Pavlova!!

 At the end of two enjoyable hours we were ready for our bar meal. It was just a short car ride down to New Quay and the Wellington Inn, where we had more than our fill of delicious food - a few of us even managed to have a desert!
 Melda won the competition of guessing the mileage to the first destination and a wonderful night was had by all.

NEW AGE KURLING WITH ABEREAERON WI

On Wednesday 15th May, two of our members, Margaret V and Dianne joined Aberaeron WI for an evening of 'New Age Kurling'. Neither had done it before and didn't know what to expect, but after a wonderful evening of fun and excitement, they both have said they'll be doing new age kurling again.

Everyone had training for an hour on how to move the 'Kurling Stones' either by hand or by stick and then a knockout tournament was played out and Dianne got through to the semi final. 
Tea, coffee and biscuits were provided and a great evening was had by all. Roll on for the next New Age Kurling event.
