Forthcoming events:

We have been looking out for Welsh-themed items in the Fringe, but with no hits so far. If you spot any items likely to be of interest, I’d like to hear and pass on to our members – secretary@edinburghwelshsociety.org.

Friday 8 September. Croeso. Mortonhall Golf Club at 7.30pm.

Our opening social will be held at Mortonhall Golf Club, at 231 Braid Rd, Edinburgh, EH10 6PB. There will be a tasty supper and entertainments. A good chance to meet and catch up with all our news. My next EWSNEWS will have all the details.

Sunday 8 October. Harvest thanksgiving service. Reid Memorial Church at 3.00pm.

Our harvest service will be held in the large hall of the Reid Memorial Church, West Savile Terrace, Edinburgh, EH9 3HY.  All are welcome. A cuppa and chat to follow the service.

In other news …

Do you fancy a trip to Patagonia? Participants are being sought for this adventure, 13–27 November at just £2,500 each. Let me know if you are keen.


I look forward to seeing you very soon.
