The long-running St. Madoc's charity, which raises funds for Llanbadoc church, will be having its next sale of clothing, books, china, bric-a-brac and household items on Tuesday Febr uary 5, from 10.30am to 4pm. Now that the charity no longer has a shop outlet, the sale takes place each month at the village hall. Known to locals as the Red Shed', although it is painted green, the hall is near Usk Rugby Club on the Llanbadoc/Caerleo n road.

Donations to the charity are also welcom e at the hall on Wednesday mornings from 10am to 1pm.
