MEMBERS met at Ysgol y Dderi on 10 November, with Janet Farrow presiding.

An interesting afternoon was spent in the company of Jennifer Cairns who has a vast knowledge of local history.

Her talk was about the Rebecca Riots, a movement centred on the mid nineteenth century and their activities in this area, although most of the toll-gates have now disappeared completely but few names remain in the county.

Members vague memories where stirred when facts were remembered from history lessons in the distant past.

The guest speaker was warmly thanked by Raymond Farrow for a very informative and interesting talk and for stepping into the breach at such short notice.

The tea hostesses were Sally Davies and Gill Smith.

Raffle winners were Morina Davies, Gwen Lewis, Janet Courtney, Sally Davies, Alunda Jones, Gill Smith, Mair Spate and Maureen Williams.

The next meeting will be on 1 December, at Ysgol y Dderi at 2pm.

The guest speaker will be from the Mulberry Bush.

Warm welcome to new members.
