RR81 Ball

20th March 2026
Vale Resort, Hensol

FINAL COUNTDOWN

 

With just over 2 weeks to go before the Ball planning is complete and its just the final preparations being done now.

Auction, Silent Auction and Raffle prize lists are being updated and circulated, but it’s not too late if you have any contacts or ideas; this is our most important fundraising event of the cycle.

Raffle tickets are being sold by many of the trustees, if you can’t make the night itself.

With the usual wheelbarrow generously donated by B&Q Bridgend filling up, please could I ask that if you can bring a bottle, no matter how random to add to the collection it would be greatly appreciated.

The night will include the customary game of Heads and Tails so a £1 would help.

Timings:

The Event starts at 6:30pm please with the meal being served from 7:15pm.

We have a full evening of entertainments planned so need to make a prompt start.

Unfortunately the bar closes at 1am, which heralds the end of the event for 2026.

We look forward to seeing you there… follow this page for more updates.

Pen Y Fan @The Ten Y Fan

10 Years – 10 climbs

Saturday 11th to Sunday 12th July

2026

This will mark exactly 10 years since we lost Rhys… he loved the Brecon Beacons, particularly Pen-Y-Fan. As such my aim is to complete one ascent for each year within a 24 hour period. I shall start at midday on Saturday and hope to complete 10 ascents by midday on Sunday 12th July. 

I imagine that closer to the time we shall ramp up the fundraising for this, although we haven’t decided how.

What I do know is that if you’re about and have the time over the weekend, I would appreciate the company on one or more of the efforts…

 

I’ll be somewhere on Pen Y Fan and wont be hard to see…
