Our first Golf Society meeting took place at Clyne Golf Club on 2nd September. Unfortunately a number of the members were unavailable, but we enjoyed a fine morning, and some good golf. It was great to see Emil Jones playing again after some major surgery and it was his team, together with Nick and Jimmy Lamb who took the spoils. In fact the other team of John Rickard, Wally Carey and Ed Parton were not even a close second!
We travelled to Haverfordwest on Saturday 3rd September to sing at the wedding of Amy Quant at St Mary’s Church. It was a dreadful day, with persistent rain, but we sang well and Amy’s mother, Hazel, told us after that we were ‘amazing’. On the way back we stopped at The Fox and Hounds in Bancyfelin, for food and a few beers, and we sang some items. There were a number of visitors there who enjoyed our renditions and one of the families has posted a message of thanks on our ‘Guestbook’.
A social evening, organised by the Ladies section, was held on Monday, September 12fed in the form of a ‘curry night’, which took place at the Mumbai Restaurant in Blackpill. There were in excess of 60 choristers and guests present and a great time was had by all. The food was excellent and many thanks went to Mo and the staff at the Mumbai. Our President, Geoff Wheel, came along and donated a number of prizes for the raffle. A total of £200 was raised for choir funds.
