What is there to do in Radyr & Morganstown – an update
There are a lot of regular classes and club meetings etc in R&M. Most can be found through the Directory section of this website, but we realise it is difficult to work out what happens when. To simplify things, we have introduced a new facility showing all regular events – see the charts which we have compiled from current Directory entries and there is also a link at the bottom of the Coming Events column on this page. We have now dropped the ‘Regular Events‘ section of the diary. See the new Regular Events for more information.
