Mach Maethlon

EDIBLE Mach Maethlon used their Wednesday session, on June 19, to distribute their exciting new Edible Town leaflets in shops and cafes around the town, to help people discover and interact with all 14 of the group’s wonderful edible sites.

However, the edible beds were not forgotten as they were checked and tidied during the afternoon.

Many thanks to Ian Clewett of Formation Creative for his excellent work in designing the leaflets, and to the National Lottery Awards for All Wales scheme for providing the funds.
