Welfare Committee Meeting
Minutes
We will be publishing the
Committee Meeting Minutes on a regular basis on the
News Letter page
Welsh Language version of
the minutes are to be found on the
Cylchlythyr page
It has been announced in
 that
Some Ceredigion Beaches have lost their Blue Flag Status for 2008:
"THREE
local beaches have failed the water quality tests needed to keep their
coveted Blue Flag status for 2008, it was confirmed on 20th November.
Aberporth, Llangrannog and Tresaith have all failed the European guideline
standards, which are an essential requirement for the Blue Flag. But Poppit,
which was also on the borderline, passed its final test and has met the
guideline requirement.
The guideline standard was achieved by both New Quay beaches and
Newport
north.
Only the
basic European mandatory standards were achieved by Aberporth, Tresaith and
Llangranog. All three are thought to have failed the more stringent Blue
Flag test because of last summer's heavy rainfall, which caused unusually
high amounts of run-off into local streams."
Little Art School
On 5th September six Sculptured Ceramic
Pictures were unveiled by Julia (Patio Cafe) and is the latest work
carried out by the children of the Little Art School in Llangrannog,
under the expert guidance of Helena Boyesen. The pictures are located on
both sides of the "Shelter", opposite the "Beach Hut Cafe".

The information
below appeared in
TivySide
online on 9th June and is the latest
development in the future of Capel Crannog.
Chapel
gift to village
A
DISUSED chapel in Llangrannog is being given to the village so that it can
be used for the benefit of the whole community.
Capel
Crannog, built in about 1893, has been closed to the public since the last
service there two years ago. But on Sunday it will be the venue for an open
afternoon where locals can discuss ideas for the future of the building.
The
property is currently in the process of being transferred from the ownership
of the Annibynnwr Chapel trustees to the newly created Capel Crannog
Charitable Trust, which has been set up by local county councillor Ian ap
Dewi and others to explore the various potential uses.

St. Caranog
Plans are being discussed to commission a life size bronze statue of St
Caranog to be placed on Pen Rhip headland. The statue will depict St Caranog
looking out to sea. Planning permission has now been granted for
this which will also include a Celtic base and a stone seating area. The
sculpture will be designed and built by the Internationally Renowned
sculptor Sebastien
Boyesen, who lives
in Llangrannog. Fund raising activities are planned.
Seafront Mosaic
A mosaic
has been made and setup on one of the end walls of the "Shelter" on the
sea front. This was done by the pupils of Pontgarreg Primary School,
under the expert guidance of Helena Boyesen and is a credit to both the
pupils of the school and the village. The "Shelter" or "Shanty" as it is
known locally is now owned by Welsh Water and has recently been tidied
up and repainted, a big improvement on the "eyesore" of recent years. A
photograph of the Mosaic is to be found in
Photo Gallery 3.
New Book (Story of Llangrannog)
The original book written by Mervyn Davies has been
updated and is available. The new
publication has been organised by Llangrannog Welfare Committee and
funds have been raised to cover costs.
From each book sold £1
will be donated to "The Friends of St Caranog's" Church appeal, raising
funds to prevent closure of the church.
Details of how to obtain
the new book, together with it's price can be found in the New
Book page on the website.
Car Park
at the top of the
village has been re-instated after completion of the water treatment
works. Llangrannog Welfare Committee will place an honesty box for
parking fees, monies from this collection will be used to fund projects
within the village. A toilet block is also located within this car park.
Ship Inn Car Park
is located next to the beach and is a private Car Park.
Parking Fees vary according to season and payment is either via an
Honesty box, or to a car park assistant. There is one fee for all day
parking.
Other Parking
There is some Car Parking towards the sea front, but
during the summer season this is officially limited to a one hour stay.
Beaches
have more sand on
them than for several years and now that only clean water is
discharged into the bay, will mean that the quality of the water is
perfect for bathing.
Cilborth
Beach can
only be accessed from Llangrannog Beach at low water, but there is a
steep, but safe cliff path
to Llangrannog.
Third Bay and
beyond can only be accessed from Cilborth at very low tides, or by boat.
These beaches are completely covered with water at High Tide.
Billis Beach
has plenty of sand and can be accessed by boat or via a
cliff path from Lochtyn Headland. Lochtyn Beach
has plenty of sand and can be accessed via a steep cliff
path, or by boat.
Dolphins
can be seen on most days
in the Bay during the
Summer season.
Welfare Gardens
upper level
was replanted in the Spring and should be a display of colour for the
season. The mosaic on the lower level garden has been completed
by Little Art School and these gardens are tranquil and a
credit to the village of Llangrannog.
Mobile Phone reception in the village is variable. Orange has little or no
signal below Brynhoffnant, Vodafone has some reception near the
Lime Kiln or on Penrhip, whilst T Mobile or One2One has
good reception throughout the village. We have no information on other
networks, but if you e-mail us at
Carregbica@aol.com ,
the information will be included.
Contact can be made via e-mail to
and your notices will
be published.
