Alwyn Ifans

 Having just learned from 'The Otter' that Alwyn has retired , I felt obliged on behalf of myself & Sue to post a few words of thanks to this lovely guy: we have visited Cors Dyfi since it opened and always received a warm and cheery welcome from him-the perfect man to welcome all visitors( and sometimes deal with the odd awkward customers!!!). I'm delighted to hear that he will still pop in to volunteer sometimes , so we need not be too sad!

We wish you all the very best Alwyn and still hope to have a word now and then.

Take care and enjoy.

Kev& Sue.

    I totally agree Kev. Alwyn and I have had many long chats over the years, and he has provided many excellent records for the county. All the best Alwyn!
