A new community events magazine, Dod Diary, has been launched in Llandrindod Wells in February 2010.

Dod Diary is produced every month and delivered to every household in the town. Llandrindod Wells has many local businesses providing for our needs and a host of events taking place on a daily basis to provide fun and entertainment of all types for all ages.

Dod Diary brings these together in one place to promote community spirit and encourage local residents to: attend local classes, events, clubs, coffee morning, fairs, discos etc; use local traders and businesses; shop locally.

Dod Diary is exactly that, a diary of events for the coming month: a page per week split 50/50 between events and low cost business advertising.

Why and how benefit Llandrindod Wells and surrounding area?
Foot and Mouth demonstrated the need for shorter supply lines and for the rural community to support itself.
The economic benefits are clear, with some 450 Farmers Markets in the UK, producing £55 million per year. That money goes back into the rural economy in all sorts of ways: farmers buy chiller cabinets, vans, bags, scales, signs, baking equipment, apple presses and so forth. They also hire people and give business to butchers and abattoirs. It filters back into the whole rural community.

Llandrindod benefits by the creation of what is essentially an extra attraction. A regular 1000 extra visitors that this Market attracts boost the Town’s economy.

Llandrindod is the venue or host to many events throughout the calendar year.
