The FRIENDS of Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod
will begin their annual fundraising for the 2019 event with a coffee morning at
Llangollen Memorial Hall today, Tuesday March 26.
All are welcome and entry is just £1 between 9.30am and
midday.
You can go along and enjoy a tea or coffee and treat yourself to something from our
cake stall, try your luck on the tombola or pick up a bargain in our
bric-a-brac sale.
The FRIENDS organisation is a separate charity from the
Eisteddfod and has been supporting the event for almost 45 years raising over
£500,000 in this time.
Members of FRIENDS come from all over the world and play
an important role is spreading the Eisteddfod’s message and appeal.
Members
also benefit from priority booking, news and updates throughout the year and
have their own hospitality area on the Eisteddfod field during the week, which
is a great place to meet new and old friends.
Chair of FRIENDS Barrie Potter said “We are delighted to
begin our annual series of coffee mornings and all proceeds will be going
towards the Eisteddfod Bursary fund. This fund offers financial assistance to
international visitors coming to Llangollen such as the wonderful Mother Touch
children’s group from Zimbabwe who charmed the crowds both on and off the field
with their performances last year."
