For all those that attended the Offa's Dyke Celebrations last week, a great big thank you for the support and we hope you enjoyed the party as much as we did!! A big thumbs up to the Drill hall for providing the bar, a huge cheer for Shootin' the Crow (what a fab band!!), a massive belly rumble for the Afon Gwy for providing the biggest banquet the world has ever seen and a lovely pat on the back for all the lovely people who made it happen!!
