THE latest community news from Tregaron

Clwb Cinio

ON Wednesday, 25 April, 41 members had lunch at Y Talbot.

Aled Lewis, the watch manager of Tregaron Fire Station came to talk to members. He said that the fire service was there to offer free home fire safety checks, advice and help; that all smoke alarms should be checked weekly to ensure that they are functioning properly; and that most elderly people should have a carbon monoxide alarm.

He said that if you need to call for the First Responder ensure that you give clear instructions where you live with your post code and have exterior lighting on so they know where to stop.

To arrange a home visit call 0370 6060699 (in office hours) or 07769 934195 (Aled’s number available 24/7).

Next month there will be a talk by Eirlys Morgan.

MICK Tordoff from Llangeitho, spoke to the members at the April meeting.

He is a computer ‘whiz kid’ and was able to tell all attending lots of things that many of them didn’t know, including internet banking, online purchasing and generally about the day-to-day use and maintenance of computers, iPads and mobiles.

Mick is very involved with the community of Llangeitho. He has organised film evenings at the hall and has shown old photos, helping folks to identify neighbours and loved ones.

The vote of thanks was given by Gayle Jeffery.
