Felinfoel Party Evening

Felinfoel Senior Citizens teamed up with the Felinfoel Walking Group for a party evening, held at the Tirynys complex last Friday.

The highlight of the evening was a superb performance by cover singer Chris Caine. Chris performed covers of songs by a range of artists from Neil Diamond to Duffy.

Everyone brought a bottle and a plate for the buffet, which added up to a delicious selection of nibbles.

Of course, this being an event organised by Felinfoel Senior Citizens, the chance to start off the evening with a few games of bingo couldn't be resisted! Luckily, not too much wine had been drunk at that stage, so everyone could still concentrate on the numbers.

Great music, lovely food and good company made a thoroughly enjoyable evening for all.

Here are some photos taken by group members using Carmarthenshire Connect's mobile phone camera:

Felinfoel Walking Group

It was February when we last had photos from the Felinfoel Walking Group on this blog, so we thought it was about time we caught up with the group again.

The group is going stronger than ever as the number of members has increased during the year.

Felinfoel Walking Group meets every Tuesday morning at 10.30 next to the bus stop by Felinfoel Brewery. This week the group took a woodland walk to Furnace Pond.

After the walk it's usually back to the Tirynys Complex for tea and biscuits, but as this week was a special walk in celebration of Gill Rees' 70th birthday, a pub lunch was in order.

Third Birthday Party

My, my how time flies. Would you believe it, Felinfoel Senior Citizens Group is three years old. So in true tradition, we are having a celebration on Wednesday, 26th March between the hours of 2.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m. at Tirwnys Complex, Felinfoel. All invited. But what can you expect? A buffet will be provided - free of charge of course - plus hot and cold drinks. We promise not to bore you with too many speeches but we are sure there will be something to make your visit worthwhile. Do come along!

Felinfoel Tortoises Walk to Parc Howard

The Felinfoel Walking Group is made up of two sub-groups - the Hares (a more brisk hour's walk) and the Tortoises (a relaxed half hour). The group meets every Tuesday at the bus stop next to Felinfoel Brewery - the Hares set off at 10.30 and the Tortoises at 11. Both then meet at the Tirynys Complex for coffee at 11.30.

Carmarthenshire Connect had previously been out with the Hares back in December. See the post that some of the walkers published as part of their Silver Surfers class by clicking on the Felinfoel Walking Group tag under Categories.

This week was the turn of the Tortoises to use Carmarthenshire Connect's mobile phones to take some pictures of their walk. The Tortoises are a smaller group than the Hares, with two members enjoying a walk this week. June and Sheila chose Parc Howard as the loaction to take the photos below. With those impressive trees and the rolling grass, you can see why!

Best Foot Forward - Swiss Valley Cycle Path

Tuesday 11th December, 11 intrepid members of the Felinfoel Walkers Group made thier pre Christmas foray into the wilds of Swiss Valley. It was a bright sunny and crisp morning which helped to put a spring into our step, and made the one hour seem like a few moments.

Despite the criteria of being over fifty to be a member of the group we allowed the youngster Ran Foster-Mason of Carmarthenshire Connect to try to keep up with us on condition that he acted as our professional photographer. On a non-fee basis obviously!!

He did a brilliant job using his mobile phone camera and the actual snapshots are shown below.
