THERE was a real community spirit in Bettws this weekend as the annual Bettws Big Picnic returned for another year.
Organised by Bettws councillors Kevin Whitehead, Janet Cleverly and Jason Jordan, this year’s event was held in support of Women’s Aid, raising around £400.
The Big Picnic has been a staple of the Bettws community for the past four years.
The event endeavours to bring the community together and support those members who are less well-off, each year supporting a different charity.
