When parking at home, always use your garage if you have one and lock both your vehicle and your garage. If you do not have a garage, try and park in a well-lit area. When parking outside, always try and park in an attended car park. Look for a public car park which is part of the police approved ‘Safer Parking Scheme’ and displays the Park Mark brand. Some car parks also have ‘Secure Car Park’ accreditation – look for the sign. Don’t leave anything on display. Even an old coat or plastic bag can be tempting for a thief.

Crime Prevention Advice Identity Theft Identity theft is when somebody steals your name and other personal information to commit fraud. In cases of identity theft, your financial information is often stolen and transactions and purchases are made in your name. Identity theft is a form of identity crime – where somebody uses a false identity to commit a crime. You may even be framed for a crime if you are a victim. Did you know identity fraud costs the UK economy an estimated £1.2bn a year? That’s £25 for every adult in Britain. Identity theft can be an upsetting experience for the victim. It can be months before the fraudsters actions are discovered and it can take several months more to sort out the problems created as a result. Always think before you give away your personal details. Ask yourself the following questions… Who exactly is asking for my details? What details are they asking for? Why do they need to know these details? Fraudsters will possibly go through your rubbish to find your details. Dispose of documents with any personal information on them securely. A shredder is one of the most effective ways. PCSO 54977 Steven Thomas Cowbridge Police Station, Westgate, Cowbridge, CF71 7AR 01656 869450 07805301418 December Newsletter
Llysworney News October 2009 IMPORTANT DATES FOR YOUR DIARY Sunday 18th October Wine Tasting in the Carne Arms from 7.30pm This is an opportunity to purchase some good wines for your Christmas celebrations. Committee Members will be coming around selling tickets for this event, but please ask for tickets in advance as this is a ‘limited numbers’ event. Ticket price is £15 which includes the wine tasting and some delicious nibbles provided by the Carne. Sunday 22nd November Village Tidy Up starting at 11am Some of you mat not know what a ‘Village Tidy Up’ involves. This is not just for a few committee members to get their hands dirty but an invitation to as many of you as possible to come out and tidy our village. For example there are a lot of weeds that need destroying outside most people’s properties and alongside kerbs. It is not only the pond area and play area that need attention but many other parts of the village too. A large skip will be provided outside the Churchyard so we hope that many of you will come and give a hand. The more people that help, the quicker the job gets done! Let’s be proud of our village! Sunday 20th December Children’s Christmas Party starting at 5.30pm Friday 18th December Village Christmas Dinner Tuesday 22nd December Carols Around Pond Saturday 23rd January Village Burns Night The Community Association is also organising a guided trip to St Fagan’s early next year and a St. David’s Day Village Dinner. More details will follow nearer the time. Harvest Meal Saturday 3rd October. We are following the usual custom of a shared meal, whereupon everyone brings a savoury dish or a dessert, but this year as we are trying to raise funds for the church project we are asking for a small donation of £5 per person in order to help the cause. Children under 10 yrs of age are free. There will also be a raffle (any prizes gladly received!) The Harvest meal will take place in the pool enclosure which is warm and comfortably seats 30-35 people. We will eat at 5.30pm, but people are invited from 4pm onwards to enjoy a swim in the heated pool if they so wish (optional) If you would like to attend, could you please ring Diane so she can co-ordinate the food and keep a tally of the number of people. Alternatively, there is a list on the font in the church which you can sign. The church is open on the Saturday morn (as it always is) so that people can bring Harvest gifts of fruit and veg to decorate the church for the Harvest Festival if they so wish. Little Fish Fun Club 1. Find an empty shoe box and cover it in Christmas wrapping paper. 2. Decide if your gift is for a girl or boy aged - either 2 to 4yrs, 5 to 9yrs, or 10 to 14yrs. The labels can be downloaded from www.samaritanspurse.uk.com. Stick the label on the shoebox. 3. Fill your box with gifts. Samaritan’s purse suggests – TOYS (something to love) soft toy, ball, finger puppet, trucks and cars, dolls etc. EDUCATIONAL SUPPLIES (something to do) pencils, pens, crayons, notepad etc. HYGIENE ITEMS (something to use) Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, wrapped soap, flannel etc. OTHER ITEMS (something to eat or wear) sweets (not chocolate) gloves, scarf, cap, hat, bangles etc. 4. Include a donation of £2 or more in a small envelope inside the box (or preferably pay online) to cover the cost of transport and secure the box with an elastic band. 5. Give your shoe box to either Diane Bluck (Tudor Lodge) or Helen Sloane (Orchard Cottage) who will take them to the nearest pick up point by the 20th NOVEMBER. Details about the appeal can be found on the website www.samaritanspurse.uk.com as well as a list of what Not to send. Colwinston & Llysworney WI Village Inventory Golf League Altogether there are twelve teams in the league. A reminder that all games are to be finished by 31st December 2009. Crime prevention advice How do I protect myself from bogus callers? If someone calls round at your home, it's best to take precautions: Put the chain on the door before answering it - if you rent your home and don't have a chain, ask your landlord to fit one for you. Ask to see identification. Check their identification isn't fake - ask which company they're from, then phone the company to check the caller is genuine. Look the company up in the phone book rather than using a number they give you. Ask a neighbour or friend to come round while the caller is there.

Llysworney News September 2009 The end of an era John was a true village man and a colourful local character who was liked by all who met him. In comparison with his long standing friends in the village I only knew John for a short period of time. However, I will still miss his wicked sense of humour and mischievous nature. My thoughts are with Owen, his son, and his mother Mary, another village stalwart, who is currently in The Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend. His passing is not only a huge loss to all his friends but also the village of Llysworney which already seems duller without him. Church Project Progress We are now in the process of putting together a business plan and beginning discussions with our specialist Architect. Village Coastal Walk with Guide 11th October Paul, our Guide is an expert on the heritage coast and these walks are always fascinating. The walk is not too arduous and will last approximately 2 hours and suitable for all ages. Don’t miss this special experience. There is no cost but a donation to the Heritage Coast organisation is always appreciated. Colwinston & LLysworney WI Terry Walton is a gardener specialising in allotment gardening and is a regular on the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2. His talk is funny informative with many interesting tips for all gardeners. Tickets will be £5.00 to include a buffet supper. There will be a bar. Tickets available from Hilary Sheldon, Little Paddock. 100 Club Winner Crime Prevention Advice However, make sure everyone in your home knows where the keys are kept in case of an emergency such as a fire. Doors and door and window frames should be strong and in good condition, so they can't be broken easily. You could also consider fitting:
If you live in rented accommodation and don't feel the property is sufficiently secure, ask your landlord to fit new or additional locks.

Congratulations October Newsletter
Llysworney News August 2009 Wet and Wonderful in the Paddock How many villages could claim a summer event with a built-in water feature? The water cascaded between the two tents but the food, the drinks, the great band and the atmosphere were all brilliant. Dancing in wellies should be compulsory at village events from now on. One extra excitement occurred when all the electrics to the band’s PA system suddenly stopped. No, it wasn’t the rain affecting them; it was the village’s oldest resident deciding she’d heard enough loudness and we should all go to bed, so she pulled out the extension lead plug. An ASBO is pending. Fortunately, the sun actually shone on Sunday for the Great Llysworney Treasure Hunt and thanks to Peter and Janette Cole and Maria Martin and Jo Thomas for baffling everyone (of all ages) so brilliantly. A final note that occurred by accident: the valiant team who met to disassemble and pack away the tents managed the task on the day that Nelson Mandela urged the world to spend 67 minutes (equivalent to his years struggling against apartheid) to do something for their community. So we did. A big thank you to all those people who worked so hard to make the evening a success, committee members and non-committee members.

His talk is funny informative with many interesting tips for all gardeners. Tickets will be £5.00 to include a buffet supper. There will be a bar. Tickets are available from Hilary Sheldon at Little Paddock. Llysworney Golf League The aim is to have teams of two people who will all play each other by the end of December on a “4 ball better ball” basis. Games will be played at the Bridgend 9 hole course on the A48. The number of games will obviously depend on the number of teams entering. Dates and times of play will be arranged between the teams. If individuals want to play but have no partner (like me!) please put your name down and I will organise a partner. The entry list will be posted in the Carne Arms from Saturday 1st August and will close on Saturday 15th August. The league results will be in the newsletter and in the Carne Arms. An enormous trophy and prizes will go to the winning team. Any queries then please contact me. A little reminder from your neighbourhood policing team Crime prevention advice Try not to leave valuable items in places where they can easily be seen from outside. You could also consider marking valuable items with an ultra-violet pen, so they can be identified if they are stolen. Take photographs of items that can't be marked such as jewellery or antiques. Think about what's outside

It also starts {and finishes} in The Paddock from 11.30am followed by impromptu barbecue. In other words, bring your own barbecue to enjoy and share. If you haven’t already been sold tickets for the Saturday evening event please contact any of the Committee Members. 100 Club Draw Colwinston & Llysworney WI CHURCH PROJECT - Progress Rev. Peter Leonard We are currently working on a draft business plan and exploring sources of potential funding. By the Autumn we hope to be in a position to make a presentation to the village. Your Neighbourhood Policing Team would like to invite you to… Just because we are having the meeting at Ewenny Village Hall doesn’t mean only people from that village can attend. The meeting is for anyone from the Llandow/ Ewenny ward. Hope to see you there. Crime prevention advice: Yard security: Don't keep ladders or other equipment in the yard that could be used to gain access to your home. Keep shrubs, bushes, hedges, and fences to a height of three feet or less. Solid fences can prevent neighbours from watching out for each other. Consider chain link or picket type fencing. Residential lighting should be used to light up home entry points. Motion detector lights are an inexpensive deterrent for areas where continuous lighting is unnecessary.

Llysworney News June 2009 Llandow Community Council News We raise matters concerning individuals and groups and generally attempt to keep the villages’ interests in front of the appropriate officers and Vale Councillors. It is voluntary, unpaid, and Llysworney has four local councillors: Stewart Murton, Steve Huish, Janette Shaw and Martyn Hurst. Apart from keeping a close watch on planning applications affecting the villages, current topics that are being actively pursued include lobbying for a speed limit on the Cowbridge-Llantwit Major road going past Pen yr Heol Terrace, the poor standard of grass cutting, improving the state of the triangle at the northern entrance to the village and, of course, the continuing problem of the traffic going through Llysworney. The Vale has a strangely ambiguous attitude towards the road issue: they acknowledge our road is inappropriate for heavy Goods traffic, yet they have a sign on the A48 at Pentre Meyrick directing lorries our way! A Llysworney Bypass has been in their Structure Plan ever since the “Vale” was created out of the old South Glamorgan Council, yet there is never any money to fund it. Rest assured, your LCC representatives never stop nagging! Colwinston & Llysworney WI Summer BBQThis year the Colwinston Playgroup are holding their summer BBQ on Saturday 6th June 2009 at Colwinston Village Hall between 4pm and 8.30pm. There will be live music from the “Jackdaws”, a bar, bouncy castle and BBQ. Family tickets cost £5. The ticket price excludes food and drink. Those interested should contact Julia on 01446 773137.

Heaven Sent Opportunity? - The Rector responds When I came to the parish in 1996 there was a scheme on the stocks and ready to be launched for the major refurbishment of the church. This included visible works and those equally necessary but invisible items – such as the electricity supply. That work was funded in large part by the proceeds of the sale of the old school house. That generation of churchgoers were fortunate in having a ready source of funding available. As I remember there was no need to find grant aid to do the work as the resources were available within the parish. The current generation of villagers is challenged to build on the work of our immediate forbears and move the building forward as a community resource and meeting place as well as a place of welcome for the visitor and an ongoing place of worship, taking sustenance from a millennium of Christian presence at the heart of our community. We are fortunate that the residue of the school house funds have been kept safe in the intervening years and could now form the basis for a new funding effort. I appreciate the reference in the report to the village AGM that the Church in Wales is not a wealthy organisation. That is indeed the case. When the Church in Wales was disestablished in 1920 most of its ancient endowments and assets were stripped from it. The history of the Church in Wales in the 20th century is one of trying to shake off the ‘poor cousin to the C of E’ condition that was the consequence of our impoverishment. It speaks volumes of the faithfulness and generosity of churchgoers that such a vital presence has been maintained the length and breadth of our country. The financial resources of the Church in Wales are largely deployed in maintaining clergy throughout Wales, paying them, housing them, and providing for them in retirement. It is a huge commitment but one that it honours. There are scant resources for looking after old buildings but such is the nature of Wales that it is the fact that many of the best listed buildings in the country are owned and looked after by the Church. It is therefore down to the current generation of worshippers to shoulder the burden of caring for our churches. I have laboured this point because time and again you hear the pejorative remark that ‘the Church has lots of money’. That is not the case as an examination of our published accounts will reveal. Our present lovely church building is, and should continue to be, a place of inspiration and a guardian of aspiration for our community. It is already available for use by the community and it is freely available. It is open every day during daylight hours and I hope people feel that they can use it for quiet contemplation. It is however limited in its use by its lack of facilities. Toilet facilities are a real need to make the building more usable. I therefore support this scheme to see what we can do with St Tydfil’s. It is at an early and tentative stage at the moment but holds great promise. I am delighted that leading members of our village community, not necessarily church-goers, have indicated a willingness to get involved in this exciting project. I particularly welcome the transparency with which these early stages are being explored. That should continue to be the case as the project advances. May I urge that the project should be a subject for the prayers of all those who value our village and our life together in community. Calling all treasure seekers You can decide on the day, but please let a committee member know if you are interested to help us plan for the right numbers. More information in July’s Newsletter.

Llysworney News May 2009 Thank you to the Neighbourhood policing team This was unexpected in our sleepy village, and is a salutary reminder that we need to be alert to the possibility that we are all at risk from opportunist thieves. As a result, and having heard of other recent instances of vandalism and theft in the village, we asked the neighbourhood policing team to visit, to highlight areas around the house that needed more protection. Advice included putting locks on all outhouses, additional locks with alarms on even the smallest of windows, upgrading door locks, upgrading the CCTV system, and most importantly being alert to, and suspicious of, unknown visitors to the village. Matt Woodman and Steve Thomas our PCSOs, made a thorough check around the house and gardens, and left us with a checklist of improvements to carry out. We were also given a property marking kit, so that if our valuables were stolen in the future, there would be a better chance of recovering them. With the Easter and Summer holidays approaching, I would encourage other residents to make use of our PCSOs and arrange to have your own Home Security check. Also be vigilant and take note of strangers in the village. Neighbourhood Policing Team Crime prevention advice; The smallest things can help prevent crime.

History Talk at Nash Manor The evening began with a welcoming glass of wine and a chance to soak in the atmosphere of the house and view the array of photographs and information on the various display stands. Local Historian, David Francis, then gave an interesting, selective 400yr history of the colourful Carne family and their many links with Llysworney and the local surrounding area. This was followed by a talk from Jennifer Williams, one of the present owners, who has recently completed a large restoration of part of the building. Jen described and illustrated, with the aid of a flip chart, how the Manor had been extended and developed since pre Tudor times to the present day. Although the November night was cold and wet outside, the warming wine and roaring fires, combined with the interesting talks of the two speakers made the evening a memorable one. The LCA wish to extend their thanks to both Mr David Francis and Jennifer Williams for their enthusiastic and informative talks and to both Eric and Jennifer for their warm hospitality.
