The Officers and committee are pleased to announce that the Society has been awarded £338.22 from the Cash for Your Community scheme run by the “Evening Post” and Western Power.
We would like to thank all members and friends who collected the tokens from the “Evening Post” on our behalf.
We were fortunate to have a sunny day for our visit to Sudeley Castle so we were able to make the most of the beautiful gardens and grounds.
A Lottery funded visit
It was a sunny day at last for our visit to Wells Cathedral. We were fortunate that a children’s choir from New Hampshire, USA was giving a free concert in the Cathedral prior to our guided tour. We were divided into three groups for the tour which was excellent.
A Big Lottey Funded visit
At the AGM held on Monday, 3rd March, Life Membership was conferred on Mr. H.C.J. Havard in recognition of his many years of service to the Society.
Mr. Havard is a Founder Member of the Society, and from 1997 to 2012 held offices in the Society as Vice Chairman, Chairman, Committeee Member, and was editor/publisher of our magazine “Hanes”; he continues to produce and print the annual programme for the Society.
The whole Society offers its congratulations to Mr. Havard.
The Society was delighted to receive an invitation from St. John’s Church to decorate a Christmas Tree as part of their Christmas Tree Festival. The theme this year was a carol or Christmas song, and the Committee chose “The Tweleve Days of Christmas” as our theme. You can see the results in the photo gallery below.
Here are some of the trees decorated by other organisations – can you guess the themes of any? Remember they are carols or Christmas songs.
The trees can be viewed during service times on 15th December and from 10am to 4pm on the 16th and 17th December.
The Society is very grateful to Mrs. Lynette Drake for making the decorations on the Twelve Days of Christmas theme, and to her husband Mr. Phil Drake for making the wonderful Patridge.
Happy Christmas.
