Cefn Carol Singing Door To Door For Charity: For the 36th year Y Cefn Gwyrdd will be carol singing door to door in the village for charity, this Christmas for RABI, the UK’s biggest and oldest support charity for the farming community, on Friday, December 20.
Meet outside the newly re-opened community pub, the Three Horse Shoes at 6.30pm for the first carol. New and experienced carollers, young and old, are very welcome and if you can’t come along then please answer the door and listen to a superb Cefn Christmas tradition.
This year the carollers will be singing in the west of the village.
Christmas at the Wesleyan: Join the annual Christmas carol service at Cefn’s Wesleyan Church on Sunday, December 22 starting at 3pm, followed by tea in the vestry.
On Christmas Day a short family service will be held at 9am in the Church on the Common. A very warm welcome is given to all comers to the Wesleyan over Christmas and throughout the year.
Christmas Eve Service At Nebo: A Christmas Eve Service will be held at Nebo Chapel Tuesday, December 24 at 6pm, all welcome.
Free Christmas parking in Bridgend and Porthcawl.
Free parking will be available after 10am on every Saturday throughout December at the Hillsboro car park in Porthcawl and at the Rhiw multi-storey in Bridgend.
Christmas Refuse & Recycling Collections: There will be collections on Christmas Eve but there won’t be collections on Christmas Day or Boxing Day so everything will be picked up two days later than normal for the rest of the week up until Sunday, December 29.
Please recycle as much as possible so that only your left over bits and bobs end up in the bin.
Christmas cards and all food waste including your turkey carcass can be recycled, but wrapping paper cannot.
While residents are usually restricted to filling two bin bags each fortnight, each home will be permitted to put out an extra bin bag for their first refuse collection after Christmas Day to help accommodate all the additional rubbish accumulated over the festive season.
Real Christmas trees can be recycled at the community recycling centres in Tythegston, Brynmenyn and Maesteg. They can also be taken to the Waterton Depot in Bridgend from Monday, January 6 onwards.
