Carmarthenshire meet up anyone? 6th June 2pm
« on: May 03, 2013, 09:55:38 am »
Hi all.

I have been prompted to see if there is any interest in a meet up for any smallholders / TAS people in the Carmarthen area.   

I need to know who is interested, and what times of year/day  they would like to meet.  On one suggestion was that later in year autumn/winter is better ... but I wonder if those with lots of stock would find this difficult.?   Please get in touch..

Linda

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

I think I prompted the suggestion and I only suggested later in the year because people tend to be busy with stuff in summer evenings whilst once the nights start to draw in people may be more likely to come along.

But I'm up for it if I'm around.

Ooh! count me in.  :thumbsup:


I must admit at this time of year with long eve's (and dry weather  :excited: )[size=78%] I'm finding there's so must to do that I don't know wether I'm coming or going, but I would take and afternoon / evening off to meet up with everyone.[/size]

How you folks find the time to keep up with TAS AND run a smallholding I don't know.

Ok sounds like an afternoon meet up then ......   how would a Thursday pm suit?   Early pm (say 2pm) so you can go back to do things ... or later maybe 3.30 so most jobs done first  .... and looking at locations we are still looking at close to Carmarthen as a central location.

I'm about 40 mins away from Carmarthen town (I'm in Caerphilly), but I'd love to join in. Could wangle an afternoon meeting; evenings might be more difficult. Keep me posted!

6th June works for me. How about the place that Henchard mentioned at Nantgaredig (may have got the spelling wrong there)

I'm hoping to get along. I only suggested Wright's for a handful of people. Not sure they would have space for 10/15 people.

If I have time I'll nip round and ask them but I'm off to Ireland tomorrow.

6th June 2pm it is then.   We'll just see if Henchard manages to get us that venue  .... looks like about 6-8  of us so far.
