Alison Fennell - Welsh Artist

Thank you to Alison Fennell for your incredibly generous donation of 20 wonderful watercolour prints and also a selection of greetings cards to sell in the home and garden emporium on June 30th.  They are absolutely fantastic.

Alison is a Welsh artist working in Ynysybwl, just outside Pontypridd in the South Wales Valleys.

Over the last three years Alison's work has featured in many UK and USA home décor magazines and been published by several UK card and print companies including Paperlink UK and Beechwood Publications with her work selling nationwide in WH Smiths, John Lewis etc.

Previously Alison's originals have been shown in the Royal Cambrian Academy's "Young Wales" show judged by the late Sir Kyffin Williams, South Wales Art Society Centenary exhibition and The Rhondda Heritage Park Annual Open Day.

Alison's future plans include learning to cartoon!

Update

Firstly, I would like to thank Michael Mort, Business Development Manager at the Snowdonia Cheese company for his company's generous support for the Noah's Ark fundraiser event. We really are very grateful. 

It has been a really busy week with meetings about the event.  The seating plans are currently a work in progress - it is no easy task to seat so many people, but we are almost there!

Please remember to bring your spare change to take part in the games during the afternoon.  All proceeds will be going to the Appeal.  We will have some great things going on over the course of the day before the evening jazz!

There will be a prosecco bar in the marketplace & a bar will be operating during the day and evening...but please feel free to bring bottles of wine with you if you wish. All profits from the bar will be going to the Appeal.

With regards to parking, the venue does have its own car park to the rear.  Can I ask that you please don't park in the pub car park which you will have to pass through.  There will be a few people in charge of parking on the day and when our car park is full, they will direct you to the best place to park your cars.

Lastly, I was given two absolutely brilliant Welsh rugby prizes on Monday.  As they are very special, these will be auctioned separately at the event.  More details coming very soon.
