For Members not involved in the Clwydian League, just to let you know that today the green will be in use by our Clwydian ‘B’ & ‘C’ Teams from approximately 9:00am to 6:00pm (if the green remains very dry). This year the league has included the occasional league match on a Friday as well as on a Tuesday due to the number of teams in each division. Do go along and give your support if you have some free time on your hands and the green will be available from 6:00pm onwards (possibly a bit earlier).

Sinners circa 17th Century had to do penance by standing beside the stone, dressed in white, beseeching the congregation for mercy as they entered and left the church. If you know a Sinner today who is prepared to stand on the stone to beg for mercy then you too can take a photo like the one that follows:-
