The West Wales Centre of The Caravan Club held a Social Evening at the Gowerton Conservative Club last Saturday and presentations were made to two charities from fundraising events held during the year. Funds were raised by various means including holding a Charity Rally where there were many stalls run by members and a Charity Auction. Two members, John Bennett and Carl Burridge, also undertook a Sponsored Walk up Mt. Kilimanjaro. The charities to benefit from the efforts of the centre were the ‘Halycon Training Foundation’ who support people with Autism and their families and the Ty Olwen Trust. Sadly one of their members, Noel Lloyd, died just twelve months ago in the care of Ty Olwen and although only an inpatient for a few days his wife Hilary spoke on the evening of the wonderful care that Noel had received and the love and care given to her and her family. Both charities received a cheque for £1080.
