The Toposcope was designed by Ian Moody<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/span> and thanks are extended to him for his time and design.<\/p>\n Many thanks to Dickon Oliver<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span> who led the walk up from the village and Jonathan Bird<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span> for organising and lighting the Beacon.<\/p>\n An outdoor service was held in the church grounds on Friday with picnics and games galore.

Thank you to Kelly Stevenson<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0for organising the competition prizes<\/p>\n The exhibition in the hall on Wenvoe Past was a great success. We were so pleased that so many people shared their memories and mementoes of past Jubilees and general Wenvoe and Twyn yr Odyn history for everyone to enjoy. The cakes and biscuits from the competition were enjoyed by all along with a cup of tea and a natter!<\/p>\n The exhibition was the culmination of many hours of collating photos, clothes, toys which were then displayed on tables and on the boards in the hall. Huge thanks to Glenys and Mike Tucker<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>, as not only did they collect all of exhibition material, but they also decorated the hall and indeed the village in the runup to the Jubilee weekend. They also had the mammoth task of making sure that everything was returned to its rightful owners.<\/p>\n Many thanks to George Burke<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0for his input with the flyers and his enthusiasm in making sure that as many people as possible knew about the planned events.<\/p>\n Another big thank you to Abby Gaughan,<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0Hazel Crockford<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>, Annette Patterson<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>, George Burke<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>, and his granddaughter Esther<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>, for helping us with setting up the exhibition in the Hall and for helping to clear up afterwards.<\/p>\n Lastly but by no means least the \u2018tea\u2019 ladies Heulwen Davies<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span> and Carol Wyllie<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0for making sure that the refreshments flowed freely \u2013 nattering is thirsty work!<\/p>\n I would also like to extend our gratitude to Wenvoe Community Council for funding the street and hall decorations, the Commemorative flag, the prizes and the tea and coffee in the hall<\/p>\n Finally, on behalf of myself, Rhian Sexton<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0, and the Jubilee Committee we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended the events and we hope that you enjoyed them as much as we did!<\/p>\n For everything!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n THANK YOU MA\u2019AM!
