Leisure Group Update

LEISURE GROUP UPDATE


Leisure Group recommences on Sept 7th at our new venue ,the Community Hall. Leisure Group was first formed in the 1980s,in the Village Hall and was for both men and women, who met for a chat and some light entertainment. Over the years it has become ladies only and the age group now is 50 plus.


We still meet weekly and have a variety of speakers, we have the occasional quiz or game of bingo afternoon teas and celebrate special events. Members pay an annual fee of £6 and a weekly subscription of £1.


To celebrate our move to our new venue,and the start of our Autumn session, we are holding a musical afternoon Members of the Cardiff Live Music Club will be coming to entertain us on their keyboards.


So ladies,why not come along on Sept 7th and enjoy the music,meet with friends, and learn what our forthcoming Autumn programme has in store. We welcome visitors and new members.

The River Severn

At what point does the River Severn become the Bristol Channel? Mr Peter Finch gave us the answers on June 22nd in an interesting talk on the Severn estuary and its surrounding coastline. We learnt of many facts we were unaware of and how he was stopped by security guards when attempting to walk the South Wales coastal path

On the 29th June Polly Davies, an American lady, now a Welsh resident, gave us an insight into the life of Calamity Jane. She formed a comparison between her and Annie Oakley, who was a real lady, whereas Calamity was completely opposite with a dubious reputation. We enjoyed a strawberries and cream afternoon on July 6th, followed by a few games of Bingo

A regular visitor to us, Mr Clive Sims, brought along his lovely piano recordings on July 13th.This time the composers he spoke of were Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, and Felix Mendelssohn. We listened to his recordings of their best known melodies and also tunes made famous by Paul Robeson

There will be no meetings during August and we will restart on Sept 7th at our new venue, the Community Hall

Leisure Group

On April 20th, Mr. Philip Davies, who has had a lifelong experience in Amateur Dramatics, gave us an interesting talk on the many things that go wrong on stage, such as lights that don’t switch on, and props not where they should be, and the way the actors have coped with the situations.

Margaret called Bingo for us again on the 27th, and on May 4th, Mr. Anthony Walton, talked to us about "The Birds in our Gardens".We saw slides of many of our native birds, some of which are, sadly, in decline.

This was followed on May 11th with a Beetle Drive, which was won by Shirley. We have quite a busy June programme, commencing on the 1st with a return visit by Pam and Cled Lewis, who will recall their holiday in Namibia. This is followed on June 8th by a talk, with slides, by Mr. Alan Salisbury about "The Durango & Silverton Railroad in the Rockies.
