Living in a largely rural area sets challenges when it comes to pursuing enthusiasms; travel is to be expected and so, in catering for the whole Principality we have tried to find a venue which is easily accessible from all points of the compass. Our regular meeting-place is conveniently on the A40 which at its rural busiest is never intrusive. Trecastle, near the Brecon Beacons, boasts two excellent Antiques Centres with ample parking next to, and opposite our Hall, which is set in its own grounds for al fresco lunches in good weather. Inside, the acoustic is clear and pleasing and the facilities excellent.

The SRP playing year runs from 1 Sep to 31 Aug; during this 'term' Wales branch offers 9 full-day, conducted meetings, including a Pastoral Visit with an SRP visiting conductor
