Step back in time with Gerald Jarvis&#8217;s memories of the Garw carnivals, from joining a jazz band around 1967 to the incredible community-made floats, which included a life-size Moby Dick. Read about Alwyn Furley&#8217;s discovery of an ancient quern stone in the Garw river and the mystery of its origins. We also share the poignant history of the 1917 Duchy Colliery disaster, where a training exercise turned tragic due to faulty breathing equipment. Plus, get updates on our recent activities and save the dates for upcoming events like the Fun Palace on October&nbsp;4th&nbsp;and Santa&#8217;s visits in December.
