Llanelli Festival
Saturday 21st August 2010
Selwyn Samuel Centre — Bowls Hall
11.00 am to 4 pm
Entry is Free
Arrangements for the Llanelli Festival, designed to promote the positive aspects of the town and celebrate Llanelli Historical Society's 10th anniversary, are proceeding well. 2010 is also the 150th anniversary for the Army Cadets, the 20th anniversary for the Writers’ Circle and the 20th anniversary of the twinning of Llanelli with Agen, so there is a lot to celebrate.
More than 50 organisations have booked floor space. The perimeter of the hall is fully booked and only the central area is available.
The event has the full backing of the County, Town and Rural Councils.
Posters to promote the event are available in Welsh and English. Please display them in a prominent place as we need as much publicity as possible. Contact the Event Organiser for more information.

Terry Griffiths has kindly agreed to be our celebrity for the event.
Fund-raising: Major Evans of the Army Cadets has kindly agreed to donate a large teddy bear for the ‘Name the Teddy’ competition. Other organisations have agreed to donate raffle prizes to help raise funds.
It is proposed to organise events throughout the day to entertain visitors and participants and show the diverse and colourful culture the town has. A number of groups have said they are interested in performing on the day.
If you know of any groups that would be interested in taking part or performing on the day please contact Benita at benitaafan@aol.com or telephone 01554 775320.
Attendance for both participants and visitors will be Free.
Local businesses have been approached regarding sponsorship.
It will not be possible to provide everyone with a table or chairs so every participant will be responsible for providing their own table, visual aids, display boards, chairs, etc. Most groups have been allocated a space of 3m by 3m but if you require more space please let me know.
The Army Cadets have agreed to act as marshals on the day, helping participants and visitors. Their help is greatly appreciated.
Each participating group will be responsible for their own area, keeping tidy, clean etc., and removing any rubbish or waste at the end of the day.
Arrangements have been made for the hall to be opened the evening before from 6.00 pm until 8.00 pm for displays and tables to be set up to avoid a crush on the day.
The centre will open at 9.30 a.m. to allow setting up of tables etc. The event will start at 11.00 a.m. and finish around 4.00 p.m.
The Selwyn Samuel Caterers, S and J Catering, will be able to offer refreshments for participants and visitors throughout the day.
If you have any ideas please let me know. This is your day let us make it the best ever.
