Cardiff Water Aid Supporters would like to invite you to a wine tasting event with Majestic Wine Cardiff Bay at St Saviours Church, Splott.

Wine experts from Majestic will be on hand to talk you through a range of red and white wines, there'll also be an opportunity to match food with wine to find out which foods complement which wines.

In addition to learning about and enjoying the wine, matching with food and socialising with like minded people you'll be contributing to WaterAid!

Tickets are £12 (plus online booking fee of £1.37) - it promises to be a great night!

As little as £15 is enough for WaterAid to enable one person to gain access to a lasting supply of safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.

Cardiff Bay Coastalong 2011 photos

Saturday was a brilliant day out, about a 100 people embarked from the Norwegian Church at 2pm including babies, children, a tap, walking groups, families, friends and of course the Cardiff WaterAid supporters.

The rain stayed away all afternoon, we even had a few spots of sunshine- and no one got lost either! It was a pleasure to meet and talk to people en route, but was still a relief to get back to the Norwegian Church and mission accomplished.

The route is 6 miles long, and took us about 2.5 hours- did you know that women and children in some of the world's poorest countries walk on average 6km to often unprotected water sources such as rivers or muddy dugouts, and that the average weight carried is 20kg?

So thank you for your fundraising efforts- it really does make a difference.

We've put together a gallery of photos from the day, if you have anymore that we could add please send them to wateraidcardiff@gmail.com

Finally, we'd love to hear what you think about the event- did you enjoy it? Leave your comments below.

Coastalong Saturday 10th September

We're all set for Saturday, final arrangements in place- so if you're taking part in this year's Coastalong on the Cardiff Bay Trail, Cardiff WaterAid Supporter's group will be there (in our Coastalong T-Shirts!) to answer any questions you have and to help you along the way.

The walk will start at 2pm, and should take roughly 2 hours to do the circular walk. You won't be able to miss our WaterAid banners and flags by the Norwegian Church. There will be stewards along the way to guide you on the right track as well.

If you haven't done this particular walk before, you're in for a treat as you'll pass many historic points, and of course the views over Penarth Head and the Bristol Channel.

In fact you'll be near water throughout the walk- but did you know that 1 in 8 of the world's population don't have access to safe water, so good luck with your sponsorship efforts on behalf of WaterAid.

Water is one thing we in Wales have in abundance but can you imagine life without it...?
