Cyta Poray was an important part of our community and we all miss her. All in the community extend sympathy to her family. Here are some of the things people said about her
If anyone would be willing to write Cyta’s story I would like to include it in the next copy of Clychau’r Cwm.
We are already in the Autumn season of our calendar year. Summer with its’ holidays, and this year in particular, with its hot spells, has passed, and prior to the recognised children’s holidays in August, will be remembered for a long time. But what of the children’s holidays? Well! I am sure that they didn’t mind a few cloudy days. It is lovely to see everyone home safe, some having been visiting other parts of the world.
The Raft Race
We are very grateful to the organisers of this event for promoting such a wonderful day in aid of charity. Also to the participants a great thank you, because without the strong entry again it would not have been such a great occasion, which brought a huge crowd of spectators to support this year’s special charity.
The Chapel Harvest
The Annual Festival of the Congregational Chapels was held this year at Abergorlech. We did not only see everyone in their ‘Sunday Best’, but we saw the Chapel looking really nice in its ‘New Suit’. As we say in Welsh ‘Ar ei newydd wedd’. There are some passages in Welsh which, translated into English do not convey the same feeling, especially from a spectators point. A job well done. Mae y Capel yn edrych yn hyfryd, hyfryd oedd clywed y plant yn gwneud eu rhan, a’r canu wel! Hyfryd oedd bod yn rhan o gynulleidfa ag oedd yn mwynhau prynhawn hyfryd o Haf yn canu emynau o ddiolch in creawdwr.
Church Festival
The Church Festival was this year held at Llansawel Church where the churches of our communities got together to sing praises through the medium of hymns especially selected for all churches and chapels over a vast area. Thanks to all our churches for making sure that the children played their part, with great sincerity. Hyfryd bob amser i glywed y plant, mae’r gymanfa yn ran neilltuol o galendar yr Eglwys oherwydd dyna ddyfodol ein gyrfa ni, wrth geisio diolch. Ie, diolch yn fawr i blant ein Eglwysi ni fe wnaethoch yn dda eleni. Cadwch at i.
Harvest Festivals
At this time our Chapel and Church thanksgiving services have already been held. The Chapel service on September 27th, when the visiting preacher was Carys Winn from Cardiganshire, and on September 29th at the Church when the visiting preacher was Rev. L. Richardson, Vicar of Abergwili. It would be wonderful if many more took advantage of these services just to say ‘Thank You’. See you next year then.

We had to say good by to Roger Crissy and Alfie Clun Gwernogle last month who have moved to Cambridge to live, They had lived in the village for over 30 years and the children Jason, Lucy and Alfie had attended Brechfa and Carmarthen schools and had made many friends in the area. We wish them all the best in the future and we shall miss them very much.

Cwrs Menter Course
The Diocese of St Davids has created a course in Christian discipleship called Menter. What does that mean – it is a course that tells us about what Christians believe and helps us to think about how we should live. The course is to help two sorts of people (1) those who already come to church to learn more about our faith and (2) those who don’t come to church but are interested in Christianity to find out what it is about.
The course begins at 6:30pm on Wednesday 1st November. The reason for the early start is that we will begin with a bring and share meal.
Please come if you can. The course is open to everyone, church, chapel or just interested. I would particularly like some Welsh speakers to come so that we can think about running the course in Welsh.
