Diolch, Ian - I meant January 3, 2010. That NZ Sauvignon Blanc really is knockout stuff, isn't it? Just to confirm: my celebratory 60th birthday, Sunday January 3rd, 2010, The Boar's Head - all welcome/Croeso i bawb.

Hi, all you 19 members,
I would like to invite you to celebrate my SPECIAL super-dooper 60th birthday on January 3rd, 2009, in The Boar's Head, Tyle Garw (just 100 yards from the Llantrisant West level crossing.) Landlord Wayne Owen will serve up a scrumptious buffet, and you can partake of any of the eight stunning real ales he has on. Friends are coming from Australia, so don't leave it too late! Festivities should commence at 7pm approx. This being a Sunday, we might dine on the full Sunday blowout, but that hasn't been decided on yet - watch this space!

The Crown in Ynyswen. A red telephone box resides within as does a very large open fire and a wide selection of real ales.

The Prince of Wales Treorchy. Small village pub on High Street. Nothing special in the beer department but it was the place where Billy Scott collapsed into a snow drift one memorable Christmas and was marched home by a passing Salvation Army band.

The Fishguard Arms, I am reliably informed, was on Bridge Street close to the Golden Cross. It was demolished in the early 80's , and now forms part of the car park for the Marriott hotel

I should have pointed out that Hywel Williams, leaning on the bar, used to be 'Mine Host' of the 'Tafarn yr Hanner Ffordd'/'Half-Way' in Nantgaredig, near Caerfyrddin/Carmarthen. It was in that pub during the Eisteddfod of '74 that I got to speak to THE Carwyn James.

The landlady poured the beer from a barrel behind the bar into a jug from which she served a perfect pint measure.

I've a little more information on a pub I went to in West Wales after a drive up from Neyland. It was the Cressely Arms at Creswell Bay opposite the quay.
