CHildren In Need

This year for children in need, we are planning a very exciting way of raising money. We are looking for 40 staff members to take part in the first ever Yr Styg Challenge at Cerygydriddion. We will be taking the names of staff who are willing to pay the minimal starting donation of £10, and if there are over forty people who are interested, who ever is willing to donate more to Children in Need, will be taken along.

What is Yr Styg challenge?

The most charitable people will have a place in the Cerygydriddion go kart circuit, where, they will have a 10 lap warm up, to get used to the track, after that, the action starts. Yr Styg ™ will be given the head start and everyone will be let loose shortly after him. And if he laps you, or should I say WHEN he laps you, you’re out! Or if you can survive 10 laps with him on your tail and you are in the top 5 racers, you go through to the next round. The fastest racers from across the day will compete to be the last racer standing! The day will be split into 20 racers in the morning, of which 5 will go through after 3 heats and 5 from the afternoon group of 20, of which another 5 will go into the Grande Finale!

The event is intended as a staff “thank you” and are first choice for this charity shindig, so put your names forward to your line manager as soon as you can. Transport will have to be arranged off your own backs, and be sure to bring your cameras for this fun day out. We are also looking for one budding video camera operator – volunteers please – free place, lunch and tea and coffee provided. All names to your line manager by 24th October 2010.

Remember everyone, this is a charity event so please be generous in your donations and lets raise all the money we can.

Arts Festival


Well, its off to a fantastic start, even if I say so myself. Everyone who attended really seemed to enjoy the sparkly, canapes, the art work and performances. Rachel Hall was fantastic and as for Coastal voices, they were a revelation - what an unexpected event - the acoustics really seemed to work as well. Many thanks to Jon and Rosemary, our Chair, for her hard work and patience over the year; really hope she can sit back and enjoy the weekend.
