All courses will be over 5 days from 9.30 a.m. – 3.00 p.m. but if you have to arrive late/leave early to pick up kids/grandkids – that’s fine.

Some women have asked for an evening course and some for a course in Llanelli – we’re hoping to arrange these too or any other time/place that suits – let us know if you’re interested
It’s informal – there’s no pressure – you take it at your own pace. Me and Rachie Cool Duck Red have done this course and loved it
If you want to come but there are barriers preventing you – like transport or childcare or lack of confidence – let me know and I’ll see if I can help

Lets keep the power of today going xxx
A meeting took place today in the CAVS building in Carmarthen to build support for the continued provision of public toilets. Present were Simon Hart MP and Angela Burns AM (Conservative ), Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM and Jonathan Edwards MP (Plaid Cymru) and Nia Griffiths MP (Labour) along with representatives from a number of affected Community Councils.
MPs, AMs and Local Councils working together
Mike Evans and Les Jones from St Ishmael Community Council were there along with Delme Bowen Ferryside resident, Ferryside Village Forum member and organiser of the public petition opposing the closure of the toilets. The community council has recently rejected the latest offer from the County Council to take over the running of the toilets as it would impose a disproportionate financial burden on local people. Delme Bowen presented a 300+ name petition to Jonathan Edwards (MP) and Rhodri Glyn Thomas (AM )on behalf of the residents of Ferryside.
Their was unanimous agreement from the MPs, AMs, local councillors and residents to oppose the proposed action of Carmarthenshire County Council to close toilets unless they are taken over by community councils. A meeting with members of the executive board is sought as a matter of urgency to encourage them to withdraw the proposal from a forthcoming budget package. MPs and AMs all promised their full support.
Everyone present was urged to petition their County Councillors to oppose closure and to encourage them to vote against the proposal at executive board and in full council.
Our local County Councillor is Councillor Mair Stephens (Independent) Email: LMStephens@carmarth enshire.gov.uk Telephone; 01267 267428. Mair is a member of the influential executive board.
