This Friday sees our annual Match-a-Didge evening against Rhondda and Vale. This year it is hosted by Vale at their community centre clubhouse behind the White Lion in Ystradowen.Kick off is at 7.30pm and you can be assured of a fun filled evening where the clubs try to match photographs projected by the others to score points. (Points can also be gained by making amusing comments from the floor or pointing out matches that the judge has missed).Vale are always excellent hosts and it is always one of the best evenings of the year. Warning: Do not park in the White Lion car park. They don't take kindly to it and your car could find itself wearing a large yellow boot. There is plenty of parking in the proper car park behind the pub car park and elsewhere.

In order to avoid misunderstandings between entrants and judges, we have henceforward decided to issue remits with the set subjects. These remits will be given to the judge of each competition. Please click on 'read more' below for full detals.
