Welcome to the Llanynys and Rhewl Community web site
Youth Club
The County Youth Bus has been to the Playing Field for a 6 week trial period which ended on Thursday night(16/5/2013) , and which was aimed at seeing if there was any support for a Youth Club in the village. The take up over the 6 weeks was good so we are now looking to see if we can get a Youth Club set up in the pavilion from the autumn onwards.
We will need to recruit at least 2 voluntary leaders, and preferably more if we can get them, so we will be putting up posters and advertising for these shortly. If we get anyone they will then be trained and supported by the County Youth Service. The Playing Field Committee intend to meet again in mid July to see if they are able to progress this and, if so, aim to start the youth club in September.

Football
Brynhyfryd School Under 18 Football team, once again, reached a Welsh Schools National Final -3rd time in three years- they were unfortunate to lose on a penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 drawn game at TNS, Oswestry on Saturday 11th May. Their opponents were Ysgol yr Olchfa from the Swansea area with 1860 pupils and 460 students in the sixth form – the two schools also met in the under 14 final with the South Walian school winning 2-1 on that occasion. In the Under 18 match Brynhyfryd were the better team but conceded a late goal to take the game into a penalty shoot-out. Two local lads who played were Bryn Jones and Steven Willsdon and a third Ifan Hafal comes from good Rhewl stock being the the grandson of Megan and Gwynedd Jones, previously of Gwynlys.

FUN DAY
The sun shone on Rhewl when we finally had our Funday following the cancellation of the planned event in June due to terrible weather. It was heartening to see so many people and their children on the Playing field and enjoying themselves.
The Presidents of the day were Gwynfor and Betty Evans who have recently moved from Bryn Afon to Ruthin and of course they are the parents of Rhian – the hard working Secretary of the Playing Field’s Fund raising Committee.
Bet and Gwynfor
The Sixties night in the Pavilion was a disappointment with numbers down on previous similar events – the Fund raising Committee would like to hear your opinion on this and any ideas on other fund raising ideas.
