WOMEN\u2019S INSTITUTE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At our meeting on Thursday 4th June President Madeleine welcomed everyone especially friends from Barry Highlight Institute and our speaker Mrs Lynne Oliver. Members were thanked for their trust and faith in electing Madeleine as their president for another year. The ladies who attended the recent Link Meetings at Cadoxton and Dinas Powys had really enjoyed themselves and we are looking for-ward to the Pendoylan Link Meeting on June 16<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span>. Our recent Table Top Sale was very successful and we are making plans for our Centenary Afternoon Tea along with various events within the Glamorgan Federation, including skittles and a quiz in Pontyclun on October 5<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our speaker Mrs Lynne Oliver gave us a most in-formative talk about her search for details regarding her Great Uncle who was killed in World War I. We also learnt many interesting facts regarding the life of Lynne\u2019s grandmother Mrs J. Penny, a former mayoress of Stockport. A story connected with the Great War would not be complete without mention-ing the beautiful poppy. Lynne had very kindly brought along her three poppies from the Tower of London display, each handmade and individually boxed with a certificate. They were truly beautiful and so special. Lynne\u2019s talk appropriately finished with her reciting “In Flanders Field”.<\/p>\n

Our next meeting is on Thursday July 2nd when we welcome back again Viv Truran who will entertain us with her amusing holiday stories.<\/p>\n
