On a very changeable day in July, the Penhow Fete and Craft competitions went ahead, despite some misgivings about the weather forecast. It was a brilliant day, and a big thank you goes from the organisers to all those brave souls who turned up to support the event, and to help with the running of the various stalls. Also, a thank you goes to Councillor Simon Lane who generously donated £500 from his community fund to go towards the cost of holding the event. Unfortunately, no profit was made on the event this year, but we are not deterred and would ask that you keep your eyes out for signs that will indicate when we will be holding car boot sales on Parc Seymour playing field to help raise some more money.

Other events are also planned for later this year, so watch this space for more details!

Residents of Parc Seymour will hopefully have noticed that phase one of the park re-development has already begun. This is thanks to the fundraising efforts of Penhow Community Events and generous donations from Asda, Penhow Community Council, Community First Magazine fund, and the money raised through the hard work of Penhow WI and Penhow Churches Together from their stalls at the Fete. We are very grateful indeed for all of the support we have received in getting this far.

Weather permitting the Park will be home to a triple-level junior playdeck, a large cradle wing, and an infant's playdeck within the next couple of weeks.  Penhow Communityy Events will be organising an official opening ceremony shortly afterwards and all will be welcome.  We still have a long way to go before we can complete all three phases of the Park, but we know that with the continuing support of the Community we will get there very soon.
