Lovely Christmas celebration yesterday. Brilliant team work to make a delicious meal, fabulous table decorations, lovely singing from Lewis, Lynne and Mike, funny quiz with Rose and Randall and the company of good friends. We toasted friends near and far, sent our prayers for those who’ve recently passed away and thanked every one for their hard work yesterday and to the committee for their dedication over the year. Martin was voted in as Chair person unanimously and all other positions stayed the same with Kathy as vice-chair, Lynfa and Trevor Lewis’ are joint hosting officers, Malcom as treasurer, the Evans’ manage the 100 club. The position of Youth Ambassador was created for Lewis, with his mandate to find new younger members!
A great night out and positive plans for the future.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all at Pontardawe!
