Goytre Village Hall (GVH)

Address
Newtown Road, Penperlleni
Pontypool, NP4 0AW United Kingdom Get Directions

Goytre Village Hall (GVH) is our base during the winter for our Thursday evening talks. There is ample free parking. You can arrive after 7:40pm for talks that usually begin at 8.00pm and last about an hour. We ask you to vacate the hall by 9.45pm please.

Goytre Sports and Social Club (GSSC), situated in the same building but independent of the village hall, has a bar where drinks can be purchased at favourable prices. We are very welcome in the GSSC and our arrangement with them is that gwentmc members should purchase annual membership of GSSC for a nominal sum (£5) prior to using the facilities each winter.
