New luncheon club for the Gwendraeth Valley

Carmarthenshire 50+ Forum and Age Cymru Sir Gâr are joining forces to establish a new luncheon club in the Gwendraeth Valley.
Gwendraeth Luncheon Club for the Over 50’s will meet at the Square & Compass, Pontyates, weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1pm–2:30pm. The first luncheon club meeting will take place on Tuesday June 12.
The luncheon club is being jointly organised by 50+ Forum Steering Group member Charlie Bull and Age Cymru Sir Gâr’s West Wales Befriending Links Project Coordinator Peter Morgan.
The menu, from £5.50, includes a carvery, fish dinner with parsley sauce, faggots & peas, Chicken Supreme, vegetarian and more, along with pudding such as jam roly-poly, rice pudding or trifle.
Charlie Bull said: “We badly need something of this in Pontyates. It is a village of 3-4,000 people including Meinciau and Cynheidre and there is just nothing for older people at all.
“We are looking forward to the launch of the Gwendraeth Luncheon Club. Come and join us for lunch a chat and make new friends.”
Transport can be arranged to the luncheon club. To register your interest and for further information contact: Charlie Bull on 01269 860700 or Peter Morgan on 01554 784080.
