PROGRAMME OF EVENTS, 2008/092008
Thursday July 17 - Coffee Morning hosted by the President of the Society.
Friday September 12, at 7.30 pm "Memories are made of this"
Members and visitors are invited to bring along something that sparks off a memory of Wales - it could be a photo, a letter, a book, an ornament, a piece of jewellery etc that has associations with Wales. It could be a family heirloom, or an item acquired on a visit. Come and share what memories it brings back for you!
Friday October 10, at 7.30 pm - Harvest Supper
This year, we're going to bring in a fish and chip supper and serve it with a glass of cider. There will be entertainment as well.
Friday November 14 - Lunch party
We've decided that the November meeting should be in the middle of the day - to avoid the inclement evenings this time of year. A number of venues are being considered; check back for news nearer the date.
Friday December 12, at 7.30 - Christmas Celebration
We are looking forward to continuing our tradition of seasonal readings and songs - probably with mince pies and mulled wine!

Back to our usual evening slot for our annual Noson Lawen. Come with a poem, recitation, story, song, musical performance - or even a dance! Perfection is not expected! Just join in, in the spirit of "an evening of fun, like used to take place round the piano, or in the parlour"
