More than £7,000 was raised for Cylch Meithrin Pontrhydfendigaid and the village primary school when they held their very own Strictly Come Dancing fundraiser in the Marine Hotel in Aberystwyth.

Parents and locals from the village gave up their time for an intensive dance training schedule.

The event was extremely well supported and the Marine was full, a spokesperson said.

Jackie Vicary, leader of Cylch Meithrin Pontrhydfendigaid, thanked everyone who helped and said: ”This money will be used towards the continued development of our children.”
