Newcastle Emlyn Town Council KING GEORGE V PLAYING FIELDThe Playing Field was gifted to the town of Newcastle Emlyn along with many others nationally after the death of King George V in 1936 Although the town via the Town Council has been responsible for the upkeep of the land in the past it was felt that its interests would be best served by a separately run committee. The King George V Playing Field Association which has been in existence for almost three decades is a registered charity and meets regularly in Newcastle Emlyn to discuss and plan fundraising events and the maintenance of the grounds. The playground is funded entirely by charitable donation though the Association also applies for regularly for other funding over recent years we have been successful in attracting a number of small grants. In 2008 we raised over 90000 in external funding including a National Lottery award of 50000 which enabled us to completely refurbish the park withnew play equipment.
