As the result of a considerable amount of hard work, the Friends of Pantycelyn continued to go from strength to strength during 2006 and I am sure continue in 2007.

We will need willing volunteers to help attend a car park in a shift system during the day and night for this year’s Network Q Rally.
This always raises a considerable amount of money for the school.
