On Friday 18th September we carried out the Asedion draw for August 2020. We decided to draw the balls in PLANED's new conference room, Unit 9 in Narberth.

We have a new winner of the £100.00 first prize and the lucky gentleman is Mr Michael Bossom in Glogue, Pembrokeshire. The second prize of £30 went to Mrs Dailwen Vaughan of Blaenffos. Well done to both of you!

Now if you are one of our followers and often think how lucky it must be to win the 1st prize of £100.00 in the Asedion lottery draw, imagine what the odds would be for winning the first prize twice in consecutive months! Well there is one man who defied those odds and knows exactly what that feels like.

Iwan Thomas, CEO of PLANED in Narberth pocketed the 1st prize of £100.00 in June 2020 and again in July 2020. Lady luck really must have been with Iwan on these occasions! I'm sure the staff at PLANED will all be treated to a lavish Chistmas party at the end of the year?

Well done Iwan and i...

Congratulations to Melony Richards of Hermon who picked up £100 for the 1st prize in the Asedion lottery draw for May 2020. The second prize of £30.00 went to Michelle Fletcher of Llwyndrain. As lock down restrictions were easing, Cris Tomos was able to get this photo from Melony.

Hello all,

What a strange six months many of us have experienced. Personally my lockdown experience has consisted of looking after my two children whilst my wife continued to work in the NHS - quite a challenge if I'm honest! But it wasn't all tantrums and tears as it did provide me with an opportunity to slow down and appreciate the things I have around me. Being put on the government furlough scheme meant that there was more time available to do those all important jobs around the house and enjoy the extra play time with my girls. We also adopted our second retired greyhound so time has bee...

Good evening all.

I would firstly like to start by saying that things are certainly a bit different for everyone at the moment and it is imperative that we are all reducing our social contact and following the advice given to us by our government in order to stay fit and well. Stay at home wherever possible, only shop for necessities, don't panic buy, continue to talk to your friends, work colleagues and family members by electronic means and from a safe distance of at least 2 meters. We ALL need to be socially distancing ourselves and this WILL pass.

So moving onto other news, before we all...

On Wednesday 11th March 2020 at Pembrokeshire College a fantastic event took place that really celebrated the power of community cohesion and how small groups of like minded individuals can come together to achieve great things. There is no questionning the togetherness of the Solva Community!

We had the pleasure of hearing from members of Solva Care, who are one of our beneficiaries, along with some inspirational monologues from a local farmer and fisherman. We heard some great poetry and were able to watch a video on all things Solva. They even fed us! The cawl was delicous.

On Monday 10th February 2020 Cllr Cris Tomos visited Cwmrhydneuadd Golf Club near Llangrannog to carry out the January 2020 Asedion lottery draw. He was attending the monthly meeting at Hoelion Wyth Pentregat giving a talk on community assets.

On Monday 17th February 2020 we will be at Canolfan Hermon from 2.00pm delivering our next Promoters Event. As with all of the events, the aim is to promote the scheme to the local community and hopefully get more promoters on board so that more notable good causes can benefit from additional funding.

The event will explain how the scheme is funded, why it was set up, where the money goes and what type of beneficiaries YOU can select to give your 50% donation too.

We hope to see many of you there.

Jason. Project Assistant.
