The summer holidays are here and so is our newsletter. Our new season will start in September and you can find the details about all our talks, proposed trips and dining club dates below. Also featured is our developing relationship with the National Trust at Llanerchaeron House.

Out with the old, in with the new. Our email address is changing!! What's happening? Old Father Time has finally caught up with Cymdeithas Aberaeron's old email address so we're sad to announce that post@cymdeithasaberaeron.org  will no longer be supported beyond the end of 2025 . In advance of this deadline we have already migrated to a new email address casaberaeron@gmail.com so the good news is that we have our audience covered, so to speak. Why are we changing? There's some techie stuff ... feel free to skip! Our old email address is hosted on a less feature-rich webmail-only platform with a paid subscription fee to retain the email address. As a charity we endeavour to make the most efficient use of our members' subscriptions; we also need to make it as easy as possible for our trustees to manage email traffic across both mobile and laptop/desktop devices. Hence the decision to move to a Gmail (AKA Googlemail) platform. It's free, installation is a breeze, it's integrated with Windows/Macs and Android/Apple tablets & phones. My mum uses it and she loves it; it just works. What's the timeline? The new email address casaberaeron@gmail.com is live and can be used immediately. The old email address post@cymdeithasaberaeron.org  will remain functional until the end of 2025 so we will still have visibility of email traffic in the interim. Throughout 2025 any emails sent will receive an auto-reply advising the sender to switch to the new email address casaberaeron@gmail.com  as soon as possible. Beyond 2025 the service will expire and any emails sent to this address will not be visible. What do people need to do? It's quite simple. Regardless of whether you are a member, in order to receive a swift response to your emails please use the new address casaberaeron@gmail.com   moving forward. If you don't send emails to Cymdeithas Aberaeron you can just sit back and relax :) What else will change? In order to reflect the email address change our website, membership forms, posters, etc will be updated. We will also communicate this change via social media, our newsletter and emails to members. Thanks in advance for your understanding. Please email us on casaberaeron@gmail.com  if you have any queries or concerns. Best regards, Steve Davies Website Manager

Thankfully not; and it's all thanks to Llanerchaeron . With the Library moving to Penmorfa in the coming months, we have been looking for a new home for our Display Cabinet and for our historic photographs. Llanerchaeron have kindly come to the rescue giving us space in their Billiard Room. This will allow both visitors and locals alike to view our changing displays. At the moment we have recreated the exhibit about Tanyfron surgery and now also our memorial to Dr Helen Herbert who sadly died earlier this year. Many of you have asked us to keep it over the summer so your families can see it when they visit and the medical theme ties in with materials currently displayed in the library of the main house too. Cymdeithas members will be able to visit the Billiard Room (only) for free through the back entrance of the house - a rope stops vehicular access but can be lifted for CAS members. It ’s such a pleasure to report that this is just one of many ways in which CAS and Llanerchaeron are working together to develop and strengthen the ties between the town and the National Trust property.

Trips Our Summer trip was a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of Llanerchaeron. We learned about the meticulous work to conserve the Grade II listed house and its collections from the two dedicated officers who do all the hard work. In response to our questionnaire, you told us your preference is for visits that are relatively local so that we avoid long travel times. We are currently looking at the following options: - National Wool Museum , Drefach Velindre. - Caws Teifi & distillery. - Rheidol Railway Museum , Aberystwyth. Our most recent trips have been to Ceredigion Museum in Aberystwyth and to the Rare Books library at Lampeter University. Not many came on these trips. Watch this space!
