Don Llewellyn Photograph Competition At the beginning of January, the Admin of the Pentyrch Community Page on Facebook ran a second photo competition to replace the Group photograph on the Community page and the Pentyrch and Creigiau Hub page. We had some beautiful pictures of the village and surrounding countryside entered by children and adults. The competition was open for a week and was voted on by points awarded for the number of likes and hearts. It was quite close between most popular pictures, but the eventual winner was Richard Lloyd with his picture “Top of the Garth – Perfect Sunrise. This is now the Group Picture on the Community Page. Second place went to Craig Macdonald with his picture “The Garth – Frosty Heart”, which is now the Group Picture on the Hub page. It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing recently of Don Llewellyn and our condolences go to his wife Avril and his children Ceri and Gwynfor. Don has been a great friend to the Community Council over many years. He was always the one to whom the Council would turn with any matters of History. He regularly contributed to the Community Link and it was Don who wrote almost all of the Centenary Link we published to mark the 100 years of the Council as well as providing nearly all the photos. The museum in our offices was inspired by Don. Last year the Council were delighted to confer him as an Honorary Freeman of Pentyrch. All the photographs that were entered can be viewed on Don will be missed by our staff and Councillors who Pentyrch Community Page by clicking on the magnifying always welcomed his visits to the Council office.
