Community day in the valley
Residents in the Ceiriog Valley recently enjoyed a community day.
Funded by a community inclusion grant from Wrexham Council and with other grants from North Wales Police and Glyn Ceiriog, the day included a bike pump track and pumpkin carving.
It also included prize giving for the Glyn Ceiriog Community Council Garden Competition with winners, Bev Buckley, Roy Evans, Eric Jones and Denise Hughes.
Simon Baynes MP, Member of Parliament for Clwyd South, visited the event at the Canolfan Ceiriog community centre.
County Councillor Trevor Bates said: “I was pleased that so many families turned out to enjoy the entertainment on offer. I would like to thank all the volunteers who helped to stage the event.
"Their commitment demonstrates why the Ceiriog Valley is a special place to live. Covid has had a devastating effect on the many community groups and return to normal is a slow process. We cannot underestimate the effect on mental health either. So it is pleasing to see our MP, Simon Baynes, taking the time to come and meet our residents and hear their concerns first-hand”
Mr Baynes said: “The Ceiriog Valley Community Open Day was an excellent opportunity for everyone to come together, something that we were all deprived of for many months due to the COVID restrictions. It was a pleasure to attend and I would like to thank everyone involved in this event as a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to put together events such as this. It was great to see the Ceiriog Valley community continuing to come together and enjoying such a special day.”
