Notes from our Minutes.

January
At the Society’s January meeting we welcomed the guest speaker Richard Ireland, former lecturer at Aberystwyth University, who described to us the use of the 'Wooden Horse', a local form of punishment used in rural Wales, it was comparable to similar happenings in other parts of the country under different names, a way of shaming those who had committed a crime in the eyes of the community, e.g. adultery, wife beating etc. It was a very interesting lecture and there was several good questions from members. Then a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit, and some time to chat with friends.
Our next 'business' meeting will be on Monday 9th February at 7.30pm in Yr Hen Ysgol.
Before getting down to ‘business’ episode three of five of a film by the late Lance Cole will be shown, A warm welcome is extended to all. - - -

We thank members for their loyalty and look forward to your company again at our next meeting.
