The reopening of a local community hall was a huge success with the venue being refurbished and free from damage.

Last Tuesday (August 6), Bro Ryan Hall in Glanamman opened its doors to the public from 10am to 2pm almost two years after the facility was destroyed by a leak.

The relaunch was organised by Age Cymru Dyfed, and the event saw several locals attend.

"This will hopefully be the beginning of a second lease of life for the hall. As this is vital to the residents of Bro Ryan - somewhere they can socialise again, especially when winter comes and the nights are long. Preparations are already underway for more events. 

"I would like to add a massive thank you to Age Cymru Dyfed for all their work in making this event better than I anticipated and a huge thank you to all that came to offer help and support to the residents."
