We were delighted to host part of the FH Club's reunion tour in Rhayader over the weekend. They have been meeting for 52 years and this year, chose Rhayader as a base for their annual event. They loved TimeScape Rhayader ending with a round of applause for their bespoke tour. The museum really is 'the indoor gem in the outdoor capital of Wales'. They discovered our community's stories, held their AGM in CARAD's Theatre space and booked a local mini bus to to explore the fantastic Elan Valley landscape. They came from all over the UK and found Rhayader to be a perfect place for their two night stay, with great food. They also found a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome during their thorough exploration of local hostelries!!! We will look forward to individual members coming back and we're always happy to offer multi activity visits as part of our mid Wales cultural tourism offer.

We had a lovely relaxed time meeting up for Crafternoons today. Some of us made Kokeshi inspired dolls with tiny boats for them to travel in, some made glass jar lanterns and some had a go at die-cut bookmarks. It was very enjoyable to see everyone and have a chat and a cuppa. Next month's Crafternoon on the 7th July will be the last one until we start up again after the summer.

We have just had a visit from David Lewis Brown, author of the excellent 'Elan Valley Clearance'. He came with family from England and Australia and left us a lovely review. We took his photo along with Emmeline Thrower and volunteer Sandra Betty. Saturday is a 'Pay what you can day' so come along and see why they loved it - and go home with his book!
