We thought we would bring the internet community together for Community Pubs Week which ran again this year in February.

Have you ever wondered how a Zulu would say cheers (it's oggy wawa) or the same in Azerbaihjan (afiyæt oslun)?

After an extensive search across the internet we can bring you the boozers lexicon of cheers or words to that effect!

If you have any you can add then do so by This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it or adding an account (we don't like spam either so your email address will be safe with us) to submit comments, web links or your own joke or news items and events, or pop down to the Blue Bell Inn, Halkyn to share them, enjoy great company and have a good time.

Its aim is to help existing and new woodland businesses to make best use of woodlands in rural Denbighshire and rural Flintshire in North East Wales. It will do this by providing a test-bed and showcase for new ways of using the woodlands and marketing wood products, which will help protect the woodlands for the future.

The project will focus on ancient semi-natural woodlands and ancient woodland sites. In doing so it will raise awareness of the economic, natural, cultural and historic importance of these woodlands.

The Story of Halkyn Mountain is now available in PDF format from here.

The leaflet provides a great map painted from arial photogaphs and annotated with lots of interesting facts, a time-line so you can see what happened up here over the many thousands of years Halkyn Mountain has been inhabited and a view of the underground works that have made this place so strategically important since roman times.

We've also got a pictorial poster based on the central painting in our notice board and within the pub in PDF format here. This poster will give you a good view of what to expect to find on the mountain.
