Llangrannog is a small village in which a lot happens, and the village
community is one which tries to look after the wellbeing of its members.
There are now several organisations and clubs working towards the general
welfare of the village or towards specific targets, and it is hoped that
this Newsletter will help to highlight some of their ambitions and
achievements.

The Welfare Committee
After some 60
years, the Welfare Committee is still going strong and in recent years has
given birth to two sub-committees, the Fireworks Committee and the
Millennium Fund.
Most villagers
know about the more obvious things that the Welfare Committee does, like
looking after the village gardens, arranging events on the beach and
in local venues, arranging public meetings when important issues arise, and
supporting other village organisations. What is less well known is all the
behind-the-scenes work that the committee does, especially in putting
pressure on local councils and utility companies to act in our best
interests
