To mark the completion of a 2 year renovation programme Y Talbot held a series of Open Evenings this week. Community groups, clubs and societies, local suppliers and accommodation providers enjoyed a short presentation about the business from owner Mick Taylor and were then given a tour of the building by members of staff, followed by canapés and refreshments.
The renovated building now comprises 13 ensuite bedrooms, historic pub, restaurant and function room. Landscaping of the rear garden has created new guest parking and terraced beer garden with attractive views towards Tregaron and Cwm Berwyn.

Hello networkers, firstly apologies for the long silence from us. Our website is, I am pleased to say, up and running again after being rather seriously hacked a while back. Thanks to our great webmaster Steve, things are now functioning again at

And there is a crop of new articles awaiting you – plus a whole new section: The Fringe is the page where all the 'Edge' stuff goes. Some of you will recognise this term from the Permaculture principle which exhorts us to value the marginal. Edges are where the greatest biodiversity occurs and, as in nature, so in ideas and information sharing. Visit The Fringe for a dose of mind expansion from time to time!

BBC One's ever popular Sunday evening programme Antiques Roadshow will be filming for its 36th series in the grounds of Gregynog Hall, near Newtown on Thursday, July 4th. The doors open at 9.30am and close at 4.30pm. Entry to the show is free.
Presenter Fiona Bruce says, "This will be my sixth year on the Antiques Roadshow and I still feel so lucky to be presenting the programme. Every week is different, a new location and thousands of new visitors. The only constant is the pleasure of the unexpected; we never know what will turn up, from the most fabulous Fabergé to the most humble object with a riveting story."
Some of Britain's leading antiques and fine arts specialists will be on hand to offer free advice and valuations to visitors, who are invited to raid their attics and bring along their family heirlooms, household treasures and car boot bargains for inspection by the experts.

The speaker at the final Science Cafe of the spring season is Michael Pawlyn, Director of Exploration Architecture Ltd.
Michael was part of the core team of architects that designed the Eden Project and is the author of a recently published book titled 'Biomimicry in Architecture'. In a talk entitled 'Biomimicry and the ecological age' he will describe how this rapidly emerging source of sustainable innovation can help address some of the key challenges facing humanity: achieving radical increases in resource efficiency, shifting from a fossil fuel economy to a solar economy and transforming from a linear, wasteful and polluting way of using resources to a completely closed loop model in which all resources are stewarded in cycles and nothing is lost as waste. Join Michael at Aberystwyth Science Cafe at 7:30pm on 27th May in the Theatre Bar of the Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
