    Well done to the winning team, “The Three Amigos”

    A well deserved drink!

  • Raising Money Madness

    This coming year, we would like to raise money to continue to work of the Association. So far, the suggestions are a pub quiz, curry night, treasure hut and stalls at local events such as the Ponty Summer festival. We also hope to make and sell items like promotional shopping bags with our Twinning Logo on. If you have any brilliant ideas or would like to help out, come along to one of our monthly meetings which are held in the Cefn Llan Community Centre on the last Thursday of every  month at 7:30 pm. Refreshments provided.

  • St Davids Day Celebration

    Nearly 50 members came together to celebrate St. David’s Day and raise money for the Association. Lynne and Clive made a fantastic cawl, with an army of supporters providing delicious cakes, French and Welsh cheeses and other tasty treats.

    Trevor provided a challenging pub quiz of all things Welsh which was hotly contested, but in the end was won by Lynne and Clive by the tie break question by correctly guessing how many likes our Facebook page has.

    The prize was a welsh rugby ball, signed by rugby star, Shane Williams. All in all, it was a great night, with excitement rising about seeing our friends from Locmine in a couple of months.

  • Join us for a perfect “staycation”

    If you love Wales and would like the opportunity to show others what makes this country so special, join the Twinning Association of Pontardawe and host a visitor from Brittany in July.

    We warmly invite the young and young at heart, singles, couples, students and families with children to get involved and celebrate all things Celtic with a full programme of events, busy day trips and brilliant evening entertainment.
