Dyffryn and Talybont Funday

Coed y Bachau Fields, Dyffryn Ardudwy

     Sun 26th July 2009   

11am til Late

Thanks to everyone who attended and helped make last years funday one of the best ever, the scorching sun persuaded a few people to go to the beach but those of us who stayed with the funday certainly had a great day...even if your webmaster suffered with horrible sunburn after forgetting the sun cream. 

This years funday promises to be bigger and better keep checking back here for details and most of all remember to be there or be very unfashionable indeedy.

Some of the activities to be found at the funday.

Batala Bermo bring a salsa flavour, make sure you bring your sense of rhythm for when they get started.

The whole field comes to a stand still when the samba rhythm starts to sway.

A fantastic range of home made refreshments are usually available and they prove very popular with young and old alike, the baking ability of the local ladies is unbeatable and all are very generous with their time.

Bouncy castles to tire out the children

Jan our face painter loves Spiderman

Ever popular with kids and mothers alike is the local fire service 

The vintage vehicles are always magnificently turned out

Local artist Alan Gayden encourages you to have-a-go yourself

Although landscape painting while hang gliding isn't an option this year for Mike!

Our bouncers might look small but they get the best training available thanks to Petros.

The mini fairground rides are a big hit with the kids.

Talking of big hits any arguments are sorted out in a peaceful manner.

Entertainment in the Marquee Bar is live, here Racket and Ratz Alley belt out some classics. Liquid refreshment is always at hand for performers and audience alike!

If the music gets a bit much we have a beer garden which is perfect to take advantage of the summer evenings.

Our resident DJ certainly knows how to get the party started.

As you can see the evening disco is very popular with advantage being taken of the staging as well.

Occasionally people can get out of hand but our excellent relations with the local police force mean things are soon in hand.....even if it's our Funday secretary making an arresting sight.

Our friendly smiling stewards are always pleased to greet you and write on you with fluorescent pens given half a chance, eh Bill?
