Forty players turned-up for the Welsh Air Ambulance Charity Golf Day at Llanwern Golf Club, on a pleasant early Autumn day. Teams from the choir, the Nomads Golf Society and friends from the former Dewstow Golf Club and one of the pubs in Caldicot, made it a memorable day, raising about £400 for the charity.
Here are the results of the day:

Thirteen walkers turned-up at the Coach and Horses in Caerwent for the latest walk, this time to the Silurian Hill Fort at Llanmelin. Walking past Caerwent’s roman ruins before crossing the A48 and heading towards Llanfair Discoed, turning off to the hidden valley of the Cwm. Noticing a Queen Victoria post box, some beautiful houses before the steep climb up towards Shirenewton, turning into the woods and eventually finding the hill fort.
Not much to see especially at this time of year, very overgrown but the outlines could be clearly made out. The return journey was via the same route, with a number of walkers enjoying a drink and Sunday lunch at the Coach and Horses.
