We raised £955! Particular credit goes to Peter Gardner, who once again nurtured choice sweet-pea seedlings of named varieties and sold them, individually potted, at a table in the middle of the hall. I only secured one, a dark blue, but it’s now six feet tall and flowering profusely in a pot by my front door. We catch the scent as we go in and out. Joy Neal provided some extremely choice houseplants, most of which were snapped up in minutes. Divided chunks of good garden perennials and new seedling veg and flowers also sold very well. Jan Eldridge provided us with a really professional banner: attached to the railings at the Penparcau roundabout for two weeks prior to the sale, this increased our visibility to the public, who queued eagerly till the doors opened. Before the doors opened The summer excursions run by John and Sue Wildig have also been well subscribed and offered a varied and fascinating range of experiences.

This review is part of the programme of reviews being conducted under the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013, and follows the principles contained in the Commission’s Policy and Practice document. The issue of fairness is at the heart of the Commission’s statutory responsibilities. The Commission’s objective has been to make recommendations that provide for effective and convenient local government, and which respect, as far as possible, local community ties. The recommendations are aimed at improving electoral parity, so that the vote of an individual elector has as equal a value to those of other electors throughout the County, so far as it is possible to achieve. The Commission is grateful to the Members and Officers of Ceredigion County Council for their assistance in its work, to the Community and Town Councils for their valuable contributions, and to all who have made representations throughout the process.

  • Lampeter, 2015
    THE 162 ND SUMMER MEETING LAMPETER, 2015 The 162 nd Summer Meeting was based in Lampeter, and we lodged and dined on the Lampeter Campus of what is now the University of Trinity St Davids. We were ably served by the fleet of large and small coaches from the local firm, G & M coaches. The Meeting was organized by Heather James who would particularly like to thank Professor David Austin for much help before and during the meeting, over and above his Presidential duties. She would also like to thank our many speakers: David Austin, Professor Martin O’Kane, Dr John Hammond, Revd Bill Fillery, Jen Jones, Gerald Morgan, Dr Jeff Davies, Professor Barry Burnham, Dr Toby Driver, Peter Hopkins and Sarah Jones, Dr D Huw Owen, Roger Clive-Powell, Thomas Lloyd, Glen Johnson and Richard Suggett. MONDAY 6 th JULY Members assembled at the base of the still substantial motte of Lampeter’s medieval castle now surrounded by college buildings, walls and access ways. Built probably by Stephen, the constable of Cardigan in the late 11 th or early 12 th century, it, like others in Ceredigion, marked Norman attempts to control the Welsh lordly centres of power in the cwmwdau – in this case Mebwynion. Although encouraged by the then College Principal to excavate the motte in his early days of setting up the new Archaeology Department in the 1970s, David Austin recalled that little medieval was found but that there was plenty of evidence for a college gazebo on the top of the motte and a wine cellar carved out within its side.

To the east of the house are two walled gardens and a splendid farm complex. Type of siteTYPE OF SITE Picturesque parkland; wooded pleasure grounds with walks and lake; kitchen garden Main phases of construction MAIN PHASES OF CONSTRUCTION The present landscape was probably completed by 1803. There have been minor alterations since that time. Site description Llanerchaeron house is set within the wide, misfit valley of the river Aeron some three km to the south-east of Aberaeron. The house is surrounded by pleasure grounds and, to the south-west, parkland bordered by trees. To the north, beyond the river Aeron, the slopes of the valley are covered by mature and semi-mature trees. Llanerchaeron is described by Suggett (1995) as a ‘box villa’ and it incorporated the stone extension to the hall house which was added by either Llewellyn or John Parry sometime before 1690. The house is a two-storeyed, hipped slate roof, rendered block with a recessed entrance portico to the front (south-east) side.
