The LAMBS Group was formed in the summer of 1999 after a meeting of the people of Llansannor to discuss how our community should celebrate the Millennium.


LAMBS Projects

book cover
Llansannor Booklet 1999
The booklet captures and describes elements of the local environment and social development that are some of the 'essential ingredients' of Llansannor, helping to explain the way it developed and the way it is now. The account is not just of local interest but highlights issues of wider relevance to an understanding of rural communities in general and the features and events that give them their character. The booklet is now out of print.

Isycoed Farm
Treasures of Llansannor
The Treasures project involved a complete re-survey of the heritage of the Vale of Glamorgan, undertaken through engaging and training volunteers from each of the 27 community areas in the Vale. The results of the survey have been entered into a database and will be used for the production of educational materials for schools. LAMBS was given responsibility for selecting Llansannor entries for the database.
Information Board
Llansannor information board
LAMBS has produced an attractive information board about Llansannor for installation in the near future outside the Community Hall.  The project was partly funded by a Celebrating the Millennium in Wales award.


Book cover
Booklet to celebrate the opening of the new hall 2006
A booklet issued to celebrate the opening of the new Community Hall in October 2006 was produced by a LAMBS writing team. Free copies of the booklet were presented to every household in Llansannor and to all guests attending the Opening Ceremony. Additional copies are available from the LCHA at a cost of £5.
