Mrs Julie Thomas from Abercynon has just finished her term of office as Divisonal Commissioner for the Cynon Valley Guiding Association. She has had a life time in Guiding.

She said “I was a Brownie, a Guide and gained my Queens Guide Award, a Young Leader, and then I became a Guider at the age of 18 and took over 1st Abercynon Guide unit.
I have been involved in guiding in the county continuously since becoming a guider – Outdoor activities adviser, International Adviser for Cynon Valley Guiding. I have been district commissioner for Mountain ash, International Adviser for Central Glamorgan, also Outdoor Activities Adviser for Central Glamorgan. I have been Divisional Commissioner for Cynon Valley for 5 years. Now I have been lucky to hand the post to the very capable and enthusiastic Guider Mrs. Stephanie Martin.”

One of Aberdare’s oldest Chapel is now on the market for sale.

Ebenezer Chapel in Trecynon – originally built in 1811 – is now on the market for sale.

The property comprises a large detached two storey Grade II listed Chapel Chapel constructed in the 19th century, with graveyard at the side.

The last burial at the premises was over 50 years ago, therefore, the graves may be exhumed, subject to necessary approval.

The sellers are asking for offers in excess of £30,000.
