In April local estate agents Newland Rennie launched their Charitable Donation Promotion.

This meant that for every instruction received before September 30 the firm promised to donate £100 on completion of the sale to a local charity, school, club or society of the vendor’s choice.

The first completion during the promotion was the sale of Penlan by Sonia Hughes. Her choice of charity was the Abergavenny Blind Club as it had links with Sonia’s mum Jean Bradley who was a member for many years.

Newland Rennie contacted club secretary Michael Prys-Williams and he was presented with a cheque for £100 by Mr Keith Spencer, one of the firm’s partners, at their offices in Lion Street.

The club, which has volunteer drivers for transport, meets once every two weeks on a Monday for two hours, where refreshments are provided. If you would like to get in touch please contact Mr Prys-Williams on 01873 85086.
