THROUGH the letters page I should like to thank Denise, Clive Goode and Mark and Ellie Stevens. Who from Monday, August 19, have retired from The Buffs, These four people who run the public house will be sorely missed by it’s regulars.

The four mentioned built up a reputation of running a decent public house alongside the Talisman In Brynmawr.

May I wish Justin Cross the new landlord all the very best, and I hope he makes a success of It as did the former proprietors.
