Strawberry Cream Teas: The Memorial Hall Annual Strawberry Cream Teas will be tomorrow (Saturday), 3 - 5 pm. With delicious locally grown strawberries, freshly baked scones with jam and cream and a freshly brewed cup of tea (or coffee). Plus, you'll be able to try your luck with the raffle or buy some homemade cakes and enjoy the company of neighbours and friends. The only other extra ingredient needed to make it a really good afternoon is some sunshine, but unfortunately that one we can't control! Tickets (£3) are available from committee members prior to event. First World War Centenary Exhibition: To mark the centenary of the First World War, an exhibition is being organised at the Whitland Memorial Hall in November this year.

The Whitland 2420 (Whitland and District) Squadron Air Training Corps, will convene at the Whitland Memorial Hall at 11.30 am to salute the Armed Forces Day flags and hold a parade through the town, which will end with an Open Day and BBQ at ATC Squadron Headquarters (next to the Fire Station).
