IT IS with sadness that we read the fate of Brynglas House in your report of September 3. It is a house that has served the community and beyond well over many decades and helped to encourage learning locally.

Mr Deans goes on to report on the relocation of two groups. The nearby church mentioned is ours and we are delighted to have the Brynglas/Bryn Bevan Seniors Group use our hall. Unfortunately we cannot cater for the thriving youth group that is now set to close due to a lack of accommodation.

Should any other group desire a venueplease do not hesitate to contact us.
