Clwb Silyn
 Following the success of the trip to see the musical "Carousel" at
the North Wales Theatre, Llandudno a new group called
Clwb Silyn has been set up. The group have been meeting
once a month for a cup of tea and a biscuit and to gather
ideas on what everyone would like to do. The group have
already had a flower arranging session with Mrs Elisabeth
Woodford showing everyone the wonderful arrangements
that she produces with different flowers and plants.
Everyone is welcome to join the group, which meets up
on the second Monday of every month at the Talysarn Community
Centre. Posters will be put in the noticeboards to inform

Dyffryn Nantlle Football Team
At the beginning of April, the Nantlle Vale under 10
and 11 football team visited the Crewe Alexandra Football
Centre. The youngsters thoroughly enjoyed themselves
by playing 2 games against boys who had been chosen by
Crewe to play for their academy. To see professional
managers going about their work and the discipline that
they had to keep was an inspiration to all. After they’d
had their lunch at the centre, they then went on to see
a professional match being played between Crewe Alexandra
and Rotherham United.

Cruisers
 Resident Artist, Bryce Davies who has been appointed
to work with the children and young people of Talysarn

of June, Bryce was at the Community Centre for a week
working with the youngsters to enable him to see their
ideas and to show them how he will be working on the
graffiti. The children and young people had tremendous
fun every day in learning to draw and also they had a
chance to go with Bryce on the skatepark at dinner times.
