Clwb Cinio

THE cream tea in August was very successful and the club raised £1,000 after all expenses were paid.

Very generous donations came from Lyndon Lloyd and the community council (£100) and Bont Christmas Fair Committee (£250).

Next month’s lunch will be in the bowls club on Wednesday, 25 October.

The Christmas shopping trip will be to Trostre on Thursday, 16 November. The coach will leave the square at 10am.

The lunch on 27 September at Y Talbot was attended by 41 members who welcomed Diana Jones as a new member.

Birthday wishes were given to Lyn Gealy (80 on 26 September), Elizabeth Cameron (25 September) and in August, Eirwen Rees (90) and Kathleen Jenkins (80).

Good wishes for a speedy recovery were sent to two members.

The club offered its condolences to the family of Thomas Frances who died in July.

Excellent entertainment was provided from Ysgol Henry Richard Campws Uwchradd’s Years 8-11.

Miss Lewis accompanied soloists Amy (flute), Lavinia (violin) and solo singers Siwan and Zara. There were also piano solos by Elin Mai and Hedd Dafydd (jazz). The afternoon was enjoyed by all.

Clwb Cerdded

THE next walk is scheduled for 14 October, organised by Rod Turner (01974 298237), is entitled The Legend of Carreg Bica, Llan­grannog.

This is a varied circular walk (including some steep paths and steps) taking in a wooded section of the Hoffnant valley, a cliff walk to Llangrannog beach area for lunch, overviews of Carreg Bica and Ynys Lochtyn and a return to the starting point via Pigeonsford.

According to local legend, Carreg Bica is one of the devil’s teeth, ripped out in anger owing to toothache and thrown to its current landing place.

The walk starts from outside Y Talbot at 9am and is to last approximately four hours.

It is graded a moderate walk which covers six-and-a-half miles with an ascent of 1,700ft.

WI

THE September meeting was arranged at the last minute because the speaker was unable to come.

However, Ivor Thomas, who had spent all of his life working as a projectionist, stepped in valiantly and showed members three vintage films from his collection.

The first two, Country Women and Summer on the Farm, had been produced by the Ministry of Information in 1942.

The former outlined the history of the WI movement and highlighted their contribution to the war effort, while the second showed hay making and food production on farms in the Manchester area.

A Letter from Wales was introduced by a very young-looking Donald Houston who talked about the beauty of the country and the railway line which brought visitors to Wales.

Altogether, it was an enjoyable and enlightening evening.

The speaker at the next meeting, Julie Lancaster, will introduce the group to ‘Zumba from a chair’. It will be held at the Memorial Hall on Wednesday, 11 October, at 7.30pm.

The group always offers a warm welcome to new members.
