Outing May 28

On Wednesday May 28th 2008 our group went for a tour of the National Library in Aberystwyth, we were greeted by Mr Glyn Evans and after tea and coffee we started the tour. This time we went into the Summers Room and then through to the latest extension, alot of interesting questions where put to Mr Evans who gave us some wonderful details. After the tour it was down to the Pendinas Restaurant for dinner. We would like to thank Mr Evans and also the Porter who came round looking after some of our more disabled members for thier kindness. We would also like to point out that there are good accesses for the disabled and wonderful staff to help, below are a few of our members, sorry if you are not on there, but it was raining and my shinny head was getting very wet,

August 2 2008 Club Barbeque

The weather was good, the food was good and the company was good, what more could I say or ask for! The club would like to thank Bet and Glyn who staged this event and to Wyn who did most of the cooking. The smiles on peoples faces said it all, well done everyone.

The Making of our Banner

Last week 23 April 2008 we decided it would be nice to have our own Banner, made by our members, How should we go about this? Well why not get every member to come up with some sought of design, pick the best pieces, throw them into a pot and see what comes out. So over the next few weeks we will see if our democracy has worked.

Week 1

         

There we are, that's the end of week 1 and it looks as if someone prefers drinking tea rather than painting| Our thanks to the volunteers from University of Wales, Aberystwyth who come and help us, Sharron, Naomi and Anne thank you very much.

Here we are again, June 4th and it's our second go at making our Banner.

from top left we have the layout, then Martine is putting the

paint on the screen,next pressing the paint through the screen, then our first look, Barry

thinks it's ok so that's good enough for us. Fred has the important job of drying the paint,

after he did his hair! There we are the last picture with Fred and Martine holding up the partially completed Banner. All that remains now is to add some Fish a Dolphin and our Web Address.

June 11th 2008

There we are, that's our Banner.There's the Welsh Dragon rushing up Pen Dinas with the Monument on top, the blue of Cardigan Bay below with the Dolphins swimming about. This gives a pretty good picture of where we are, and then of course our Barry with his Bugle advertising our News letter, " the Pendinas Bugle", we hope you all like it.

June 18th 2008

On the left we are making use of our Banner for the first time, this was for the presentation of a cheque for £1600 from

'Awards for All Wales' this will go towards buying equipment for the group. On the right can be seen our Patron, Sister Jackie Quinn from the rehabilitation ward in Bronglais Hospital, also in the photo are Nancy and Dai.

Coffee Morning September 2008

Blue Island ceramics, and what a wonderful time we had. One of our members (John) had
