On Reflection
As we enter 2026, BRAG looks back it the year the group was started. What better way than to look at the very first Newsletter All the News letter are on the BRAG website and can be found here:
https://brynporttalbot.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2009.pdf

The newsletter highlighted some of the early actions undertaken by BRAG. Many of these set a theme that 16 years on continue to be progressed by the BRAG members. What probably has changed is that in the early days, we would have Bryn Residents filling the community centre at BRAG meetings and pledging their support to the activities undertaken. It is understood that many people now use social media to express their views, but it would be good to have more residents in the BRAG meetings. BRAG will be scheduling another meeting early in the New Year to plan the activities for the village through 2026. Residents can also provide feedback through the website. Items posted in Facebook groups are very prominent at the time of posting, but quickly get lost in the deluge of new material posted in groups.
