At last the weather came up trumps for the Llanthony Valley and District Show Hedging Match and Stone Walling Competition which were held on 10th November 2007 at Trewysgoed, Fforest Coalpit, Near Abergavenny by kind permission of Mr B. Morgan and Mr R.D. Pickering.
Competitors and observers enjoyed beautiful winter sunshine at a superb location and all had a good day with hot soup and bacon rolls supplied by Mrs Diane Collins to keep the cold at bay.
