The Old Codgers or Gardners were founded way back in time at the New House Inn and are renowned for their weekly mix of song, banter and camaraderie which has survived for many years. Meetings used to be held every Wednesday, however, these are now held every Tuesday with a special entry into the fold for new comers.

They really began during the times of the 'Old Horse Box' era at the Inn (Glyn Edwards era) and later incorporating some members of the South Wales Burma Star Choir who began using the hostelry to lubricate their vocal cords after choir practice sessions.

The Old Codgers Corner is located near to the fireplace in the Bar (This area was originally where the Old Horse Box used to be) - regular vegetable produce is often on show every week and it has been customary to hold an annual autumn vegetable show with all produce being auctioned off and all monies donated to a local charity.

Every Christmas a special carol service is held in the bar on Old Codgers night, the Tuesday of Christmas week - this is usually an open-house affair with all welcome. View Photos of 2006 Christmas Carols
