November 2006. The late Malcolm Evans-"Mr Caerphilly "
We have just experienced the best firework display ever.
Set over the imposing castle and with atmospheric music and lighting
it is a must see.
The late Malcolm Evans would of been very proud as this event was one of his .He will be greatly missed as he was the life and soul of the Town Council, the town and many other groups and organisation he supported.
Malcolm was not only our town Clerk , he was a friend of the retail partnership, "Mr Caerphilly" as he was effectionately known will be an impossible act to follow.
We wish his family strength and courage at this sad time, he will be missed by many
