While passing through Tregaron last October I was fortunately was able to visit the centre. It was most interesting and informative display. I particularly enjoyed the information video on the Red Kite and practising my halting welsh on the friendly volunteers there. I can also recommend the Welsh cakes - they were yum!

My grandfather was a head master at the school - Philip W Rees - and his second wife Lizzie Evans had been a teacher in the scool. Several great uncles were pupil teachers at the school and also my mother. I have some photos of staff and pupils from about 1900 to 1930.
