Christmas Extravaganza—Friends only LINK

Christmas 2009

The ‘Friends of Erwood Station’ celebrated 2009 with a relaxed evening at Erwood Station Craft Centre, with a performance from the wonderful Welsh artist Loraine King.

The evening was packed out with over 60 people, so get your reservations for this Christmas in for the next one. (To become a friend see the friends page)

Lorraine King, singer / songwriter performed in the Rhondda on the evening of the 18th. But agreed to come along to our Christmas gathering on her way and sing a couple of songs from her new CD.  (She is the artist performing on the Erwood Craft Day 'You Tube' video singing, 'Lovespoon') We are pleased she agreed and we had a great 'early evening'.

It was a great chance to meet all the ‘Friends of Erwood Station’ in an informal way.

Wine and light bites were provided and a mulled apple juice and cinnamon drink for the drivers, with many people helping with light bites and their own cocktails, the evening really went down a storm.

This was also a chance for us to celebrate that as a group of friends we successfully sought out and acquired grant funding from ‘Glasu’, from the welsh assembly government and the European economic community, we raised enough money to offset the grant funding of £20,000, and also to keep the volunteers and involved businesses with free tea / coffee and cake supplied by ‘Erwood Station Craft Centre and Gallery’, there were over 2000 man hours put into the project on a voluntary basis, and we were then gearing up for the first stages of the interpretation panel creation. (now finished and in pride of place in the pic nic site.)

Mat Pan, Dave Perks and Ezra Gaster What a wonderful wet day

The project couldn't have gone ahead without support and interest from all the friends and over 30 volunteers and businesses involved.

Now that we have a basis to work from there are many project for the future, as a friend you are not required to attend meetings or volunteer but will always be invited.
