THE COLOUR of the carnival has returned to the Gwaun Valley.
The 66th annual carnival and sports day was held at Llwyn Celyn field by the kind permission of Mr Gwynne Davies on Bank Holiday Monday, August 26.
The carnival and sports drew a large crowd of spectators and a credible amount of contestants in each class.
The carnival judges for this year, Mr and Mrs Aled Rees, Penparc, and Mr Rhidian Evans Cardigan, were welcomed by compere and Chairman of the committee Mr Gwynfor James, while secretary Ruth Evans and Treasurer Gwenno Eynon made sure that the day ran smoothly.
The organisers gave thanks to the caterers Siop Carla and Darren Horgan and also to Ysgol Llanychllwydog, Fishguard YFC, Catz bouncy castles and Rhocesi’r fro for their support.
They also thanked Johny Morris for taking the photographs on the day.
Many locals had been busy throughout the summer selling raffle tickets and the committee members are grateful to them for their hard work.
Credit is also due to the stewards, gate attendants and sports starters for their good teamwork and organisation.
A spokesman for the organisers said: "This year we welcomed Keith and Janice John as our St John’s ambulance representatives for the day. We hope that you enjoyed your day with us."
"The hard work and support of the local people and people from further afield who support the carnival year after year ensured that the sums of £250 each was donated to The Fire Fighters Charity and Paul Sartori."
