At the AGM it was decided that the Laugharne
Festival in 2012 will go back to how it was in the beginning
and stage a production of Under Mik Wood for three nights.
The next meeting of the Festival Committee will
be on Ash Wednesday, 9th March at 7.00pm (Fern Hill Orchard)
It is sad regret that we mention Miss Gleed who
has died. Miss Gleed was one of the founders of Laugharne Festival
and for many years a valued trustee. When the committee took over
custodianship of the Cors Playing Field, it was full of stones,
but local children cleared them and Miss Gleed provided the reward
in the shape of a large jar of sweets. In recent years, Miss Gleed
was unable to take an active part, but was full of encouragement,
which included allowing the committee to decorate the window, formerly
Gleed the Butchers, to promote the festival and events. The final
request was that any donations to be made to Laugharne Festival
for the upkeep of the Cors Playing Field.
The next Laugharne Festival will take place
in 2012, but each year the committee like to offer something interesting,
but on a smaller scale for the residents and visitors.
Many thanks to all our supporters in 2010 who turned
out in force for a wonder performance of Burton by Rhodri Miles,
special thanks to all the committee members who worked so hard to
the make the occasion a success, thanks to Elinor and Rob for stepping
in to sort out the technical problems with sound and lighting. A
special mention for Martha who worked so hard getting raffle prizes
and selling tickets.

Review:
Wolf Tales was brilliant, it was set backstage whilst he was waiting
for his cue to go on in the Tale of Little Red Riding Hood, the
Wolf pitched his story so well that both adults and children were
rolling with laughter, throughout the performance, there was clever
use of puppetry, the special effects on the T.V. using shadow puppets
to tell the story of the six Billygoats was exceptional, tears were
running down cheeks, he ended up with us all joining in and singing
My Way, all the parents and children thought it was wonderful, though
we weren´t quite convinced that he blew down the pig´s
house made of straw because he suffered from hayfever and the straw
caused him to sneeze.
