New Year Meet 2025/26. Based at Hafod y Gwynt 

SCertainly the Meet  turned out very well this year. Sadly Vicki and Rodney , through a health problem, did not make it as did two others, but we brought together 17 of our lot  on New Years Eve, with a very fine buffet and then lots of carols, games and a very testing  quiz from Stella. We had two excellent days of walks as the weather was kind, ALL of which added up to a load of fun and a very healthy gathering.
