Tea and Chat

Do you want to learn how to shop online? Would you like to talk to family on the computer? Does switching a computer on feel impossible? Would you like to be able to help the kids with homework? Do you want advice on getting a computer or on the internet?

Come along to the Solva Football Clubhouse on Wednesday 16 December 10.00 – 11.30am and find out about help getting online and using Computer Technology!

Everyone young and old welcome but due to current restrictions we can only have 15 people in at a time, so come early to make sure you get a space!

Christmas cards, Markets and Solva Christmas shopping

Christmas cards, Markets and Solva Christmas shopping

RNLI and Shalom Christmas cards are for sale at Oriel y Parc with Shalom cards also at their shop and Mathias Hardware.
There will be four December “pop up” markets of local crafts, out of doors, in Oriel y Parc courtyard on the 5,6, 12 & 13 Dec from 10am – 1pm.                                                                                                                                                                  Solva Christmas Shopping
Christmas Shopping Evening Thursday 3 December. Window on Wales will open 5pm to 7pm. Sadly, due to the masks, we can’t offer mulled wine, but we will have special offers and money back vouchers. Forward planning is a bit tricky, but we may well have local stalls to add to the festive feel. Solva businesses really appreciate your support, thank you.

Toys and Tins and Things

Toys and Tins and Things

The success of Tinny Tuesday is spreading! Mumbles in the Gower started Food Hub Friday inspired by Solva’s efforts. As we run up to Christmas we are also hoping to include toys and advent calendars in the food parcels that are delivered out of
St Davids to the surrounding area including Solva. If you would like to donate toys with your tins then either leave them out on Tuesday before 5.00 pm or put them in the box located in the Memorial Hall doorway. We hope to gather toys, and perhaps jigsaws or things more suitable for teenagers, so if you have any spare please donate them so that the younger members of the north peninsula community will get a pleasant surprise this Christmas. Thank you to everyone who has supported Tinny Tuesday this year; it has provided invaluable support to those in need, and thanks to those who have donated advent calendars.

Solva Advent Calendar Windows

Solva Advent Calendar Windows

On Thursday 17 December, from 5-7pm – weather permitting – you can take a Christmassy walk around Solva and spot the Advent windows.  Stop off at Parc Y Capel for a mince pie and some mulled wine.  Remember to bring a torch and wear warm clothes!

If it’s raining, the event will move to Friday 18, Saturday 19 or Sunday 20 December.  Please ring Lena on 07805 717556 to check!

The new bridge over the River Solfach

The new bridge over the River Solfach

Additional safety precautions have been put in place on the bridge with wooden battens affixed along its length at knee level. This will, hopefully, ensure excitable youngsters (possible playing Pooh sticks) don’t fall through the railings and have an early bath! Many thanks go to our local Park Ranger Ian Meopham for organising and carrying out the installation.

In need of a bit of exercise?

In need of a bit of exercise?

Table Tennis has restarted in Solva Memorial Hall and for 2 hours you can ping and pong to your heart’s content. Social distancing is not a problem as a standard table tennis table is 9ft in length, and the Hall has two of them! Meetings take place in the Hall on a Tuesday afternoon from 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm.
