tyddynmon.co.uk Tyddyn Môn Open Day On the 31st March we held our first ever open day giving members of the public, stakeholders, providers and service users the opportunity to see the new developments on our farm and the range of activities we can offer those with a learning disability. The open day was the culmination of a grant awarded to us as part of the Intermediate Care Fund which enabled us to host a number of new and exciting activities, all of which were showcased on the day including Samba drumming, Zumba dancing, music therapy, jewellery making, mosaics, fitness, orienteering and more. The highlight of the day was the ‘Great Tyddyn Môn Cook Off Competition’ with three teams, one from the farm, one from our houses in Menai Bridge and one from the Holyhead houses, going head to head against each other in a cooking competition. The challenge was to prepare a 2 course meal for 5 people for a celebratory birthday dinner. All three teams rose to the occasion creating restaurant quality meals, which showed the hours of preparation and planning that had been put in by everyone. The competition was judged by Rhun ap Iorwerth the Assembly member for Anglesey, Barbara Williams from Anglesey County Council’s Social Services department, Amanda Lynch of the Woburn Hotel and Bethan Jukes from Medrwn Môn all of whom had the difficult job of choosing the winner. After much deliberation the winner was chosen as the team from Holyhead, with their lamb dish with locally sourced meat winning over the judges. Tyddyn Môn Newsletter 3 Issue 8 - Winter 2017
