The Golden Jubilee celebrations seem to have been over for a long time - it's surprising how quickly the time rolls on. The day of activities that we had on the playing field went really well. We tried to put on something for everyone and I think we were successful at that. We were lucky that the sun came outjust in time for Wally to organise the sports afternoon for the youngsters - it was a close call! The picnic tea went down very well, so many people donated plates of food that in the end there was plenty for everyone - with several adults benefitting as well! The tea dance in the hall was lovely - not too many dancers, but several people enjoyed the music and the well remembered songs, they also enjoyed a couple of glasses of sherry and yet more cakes. Then it all ended up with the Rock 'n' Roll dance in the evening, which allowed everyone to kick their heels up - those that had the energy left to do it! Very many thanks to all the people who contributed their time and energy to make the day such a success, to those who contributed food, and to our sponsors who made financial contributions. We couldn't have done it without you: Caerwent Community Council Caerwent Garage Caerwent Post Office Coach & Horses Inn Consultkt Photography DCM Contractors Evans & Clarke (Caldicot Tuesday market) Neil Williams (Painter & Decorator) Northgate Inn Whitewall Kennels At the last Playing Fields Committee meeting it was agreed that we put the profit made on the dance towards purchasing two sets of mini football strips (Under 8's and Under 10's) at a cost of around £400 - to help encourage potential World Cup winners of the future. Caerwent CD - Bryan Morgan has very kindly produced a CD for us - "A hundred years of Caerwent through the Camera" which, as the name suggests, is compiled of several generations of photographs of people and places in both Caerwent and Llanfair - lots of old school photos. The CD is available at just £2.99 and would make an ideal gift. If you would like to buy one, please contact me. We are still looking for good quality unwanted items for our car boot stalls - the next Car Boot Sale will be on Saturday 29 June and the following one on Saturday 27 July, if you have any items that you would like to donate (proceeds to the village hall) please contact me. Our thoughts are now turning towards the Show on 7 September (note that date in your diary, it's too good a day to miss). Because of the increase we now have in helpers, this year we are looking at putting on more stalls of our own - such as abottle stall, tins, books, toys, cakes, plants and bric-a-brac. We will definitely be able to make use of the unwanted Christmas gifts that you haven't known what to do with - pass them on to us! If you are able to make donations towards any of these stalls, pleae contact Toni Prangley on 424262. There are two things I must remind you of while I'm thinking of them:-
