There is Ceredigion smallhoders. www.smallholder.co.uk. Basically a diary of events and a marketplace. Worth having a look.

By the way, where are we all in Wales. I'm in Penrhiwllan, Llandysul, Ceredigion. Perhaps we are quite close to one another.

Hi all. Firstly my apologies for giving you wrong detailsThe web address is www.members.aol.com.

Rustyme, you are close. Yes the bee sale is still held at Coed-Y-Bryn. Next one is 10 May.

Blinkers, I assume you are moving to Blaenwaun, if so we will be the closest to where you will be.

HI Dandanns......hmmmm......so what does Sut wyt ti mean? and how do you pronounce it? ???

Hi Ray - I'm still not sure about that website address........are you sure ? ??? ??? ???

Had to call the vet out this afternoon.....groan.....another story and I'll put it under the Sheep heading........but small world. The young chap who came out used to work for the vets in St.Clears before moving to West Sussex.....can you believe it ::) :o So he's given us the name of Market Hall vets to register with.....Anyone use it?
