40 Years to Remember
We are proud to have reached our 40th year, and we would like you to join us on 21st January 2017, at Mecure Cardiff Holland House Hotel and Spa, as we celebrate in style at our Gala Dinner.
For the past 40 years Amici Val Ceno Galles has been organising events for the Welsh-Italian community, ensuring our heritage is kept alive for future generations. As a non-profit organisation, all funds raised at AVC events are donated to charity, with hundreds of causes benefiting over the years. The Gala Dinner will serve as a way of celebrating the generosity of the Welsh-Italian community, past and present, with special recognition to the founding members of the AVC.
Celebrate with Us
The evening will begin with a prosecco reception, guests will have the opportunity to meet committee members, get to know our chosen charities, and catch up with friends and family.
From there we will take our seats for a three course meal, and an evening of reminiscing, fundraising, and live entertainment. Don’t be concerned if this is your first event – this is an evening dedicated to the past 40 years of the AVC and is the perfect opportunity to find out what we’re all about.
Our Chosen Charities
As with all AVC events the Gala Dinner will be fundraising for specifically nominated charities. The three charties chosen on this occasion has special significance to committee member(s) or their friends and family, they are; Ty Hafan, Pancreatic Cancer UK, Assistenza Pubblica Bardi.

Assistenza Pubblica, Croce Blu, Bardi
In the late 1970’s, a group of Bardi residents proposed to fellow Bardigiani an association which would transport the sick and injured to and from hospital. The Assistenza Pubblica, Croce Blu, Bardi was born, made up of around 40 volunteers whose services relied on public donations.
Today the number of volunteers has grown to around 200 individuals, all of whom selflessly give their time to support their local community.
