The new academic year sees the onset with a whole range of classes from the Crickhowell Resource & Information Centre from which to choose. The events calendar on the website remains full of interesting exhibitions, concerts and events. It is also well worth keeping an eye on CRiC's Facebook page to keep you up to date with what is on offer in the area.

 With the Spring Bank Holiday fast approaching, the Crickhowell Resource and Information Centre is once again a hive of activity. The art trail of Open Studios and Galleries promises to be a great success while showing off the area to its glorious best. Do pick up a free guide if you haven’t seen one yet. It is the last chance to see the exceptional sculptures by local artist Catharine Marr Johnson before the exhibition in the oriel cric gallery changes at the end of the month.

The festive season is upon us again. At the same time that mr Grenfell and his team will be finalising Crickhowell’s Christmas decorations with their usual flair, CRiC will be hosting yet another wonderful Christmas exhibition in the oriel cric gallery.  The Crickhowell Resource & Information Centre will also be the venue for different advice sessions, which are being offered free of charge. The first in a series of 4 home and business energy advice surgeries will take place on 14 November. A free seminar to raise awareness among local trades-people of the dangers, solutions and legislation associated with asbestos will be offered on 19 November.  Please read the articles below for details of all these events, as well as a local community litter pick during the coming weekend.  Visit the news pages of our newly revamped website for further local news.

This edition of the Crickhowell Community Times has a distinctly autumnal flavour. For a further taste of local events, please visit the calendar pages of the What’s On section of the website or pay a visit to CRiC to view notice boards and collect a few leaflets to help you enjoy Crickhowell and area.
