The G.V.H.S. will be at the above Party in the Park on Saturday the 29th June. We look forward to meeting anyone who is interested in the history of the area. There will be some early photographs of the valley on display, please call by and have a chat. We hope to use this opportunity to gather information and artefacts for a forthcoming exhibition about the First World War.

Hello, me again.
I just thought I would tell you all about the great day we all had at the 'Party in the park at Braichycymmer. Well the weather was perfect, and despite the overnight rain the ground was dry. We set up our stall with photographs of the area dating back to 1899, we had a lot of interest from local people, some who came with old photo's and lots of interesting stories about Pontyrhyl, which added to our knowledge of the area. All in all it was felt the day was a huge success. The G.V.H.S. would like to thank the fete organisers for all their efforts in putting on the show, and look forward to our invite for 2014.
Our next outing will be at an event in Pontycymmer on the 27th of July at the Garw Valley Railway shed (Leisure Centre Car park). Come along, we look forward to seeing you there.
