The story so far:

Friday 7 March 2025. Cinio Gwyl Dewi. Mortonhall Golf Club at 7.00 for 7.30pm.

We were 32 members and guests for our Cinio Gwyl Dewi. After Grace said by Margaret Brandie a very pleasant meal was followed by a delightful round the world trip conducted by Idwal and Bethanne Williams based on mementoes on their kitchen mantelpiece. Clewdyn Thomas gave the vote of thanks and Huw Thomas led us in a few choruses to round off the evening.

Sunday 9 March. Gymanfa ganu. Reid Memorial large hall at 3.00pm.

With Huw Thomas at the piano and Janet in front of a large map of Wales we sang our way around the country based on hymn tunes that shared a name with a town, village or farm. We started in Warrington, Janet’s home town and just on the edge of the map, and finished in Aberystwyth.

I recommend a visit to our webpage for more details and photographs of these and other events. Many thanks to Martin Tarr for keeping it up to date and full of interest.

Wednesday 19 March. Funeral of Eirwen Stillie at West Lothian Crematorium.

The society was represented by seven members, and a donation of £75 in Eirwen’s memory was sent to Alzheimers Scotland.

Forthcoming events:

Tuesday 29 April. Annual General Meeting at 7.30pm.

Our AGM will be held in the comfort of your own homes via Zoom. The log-in details have already been sent to members and friends by email … if you haven’t received them, please email me at secretary@edinburghwelshsociety.org.

After a brief report on the activities and finances of the Society during 2024–25, we invite suggestions for future events and welcome new and old to join the committee or serve in a more informal capacity.

I look forward to seeing you very soon.
