- The Greyhound Llangunllo 2026
Sunday 22 March 2026
Radnorshire CAMRA went to the Greyhound at Llangunllo on Saturday 14th March . Chris (Chair) and Dave Gill (Secretary) were there first followed by Dave Drew. Graham and Terry walked from the station with the dog. Paul had got a good fire going before we got there like last year. Beers were not the more common Wye Valley or Ludlow Breweries which was good to see. The beers available were Butcombe original 4% a normal beer. Wetfebruary, slightly hoppy from Dancing Duck brewery and Mobberley pale, 4%. There was also Henry Westons cider. Baskets of sandwiches were shared and along with some excellent beers. James D. arrived later on his vintage motor bike.
As part of the discussions we decided to meet on the third Saturday each month from now on as David Strachan cannot make the second Saturday due to other committments.
Next get together/meeting is Saturday 18th April at the Radnorshire Arms in Presteigne. Public transport is available via Kington with arrival at approx. 12.30. Chris and Dave G expect to be there about 1.00pm.
- Llangunllo meeting 2026
Saturday 21 February 2026
For the 2026 Radnorshire CAMRA Branch AGM there was just a quorum (Chris, Terry, Graham, myself and Colin) for the AGM on Saturday 14th February at the Fforest Inn.
The pub reserved their new room which was perfect, with ten seats around a large table. I ordered two bowls of Cheesy chips, but no-one wanted them so Chris and myself had a bowl each.
It was decided to try meeting on the Second Saturday each month, as Chris. constantly gets called to CAMRA HO. meetings on the first Saturday of the month.
It was suggested that the branch nominate a Pub of the year, POTY, Cider pub of the year CPOY and Club of the year COTY for 2026. Must be in Radnorshire. Send your nominations to Chris. by 8th March. moc.liamg@elpparaep.sirhC
Next meeting is Saturday 14th March at the Greyhound in Llangunnlo. Train departs Llandrindod about 1300. Jackie is offering a ride from Llangunnlo station to the pub, see below. Return leaves about 1700. Important for you to check for times changes. Hi Dave, That would be fine. Jackie would be happy to pick up and drop anybody back to the station who didn't want to walk down. If you could give us an idea of numbers nearer the time that would be great. Sorry I don't know the train times they seem to change all the time. Looking forward to seeing you all again. Regards Paul

- Radnorshire CAMRA branch visit to Aberedw 2025
Saturday 6 December 2025
On Saturday December 6th the branch went to the Seven Stars at Aberedw.
It is without a bus link so we had a few shared cars this time.
The place was empty at 1.00pm, so we got a table near the fire. There was Chris, Myself, Terry, Dave D, David S and Graham. Beer was Wye Vally HPA or Butty Bach. All in good condition.
Also Peter a local CAMRA member came to say "Hello" He pointed out a framed picture of a British fighter jet. Given to the pub by the RAF as a "Thank you" for returning parts of a plane that crashed nearby in 1989 while on a training exercise. The pilot died. His mother donated some seating looking towards where the accident happened.
The pub was well laid out for Christmas. Very clean throughout. Many of us enjoyed some good hot food as well as the cask ales of course.
Our next CAMRA branch visit t is at the Llanerch Inn, in Llandrindod Wells on Saturday 3rd January 2026 at 1.00pm. We hope to see you there.
