Thank you Wyn James for a fascinating talk about Patagonia - bringing to life the challenges the emigrants faced on arrival and the reasons for them travelling so far from home . Our next evening talk is with Iain Tweedale the former manager of Caldey and is the co-founder of the Lay Cistercians of Caldey. This illustrated talk gives a unique insight into life on the island two miles offshore from Tenby that is home to a community of monks and islanders visited each year by 50,000 people from all over the world.

Our Easter Egg Hunt takes place on 1st April at Hyb yr Eglwys Newydd Whitchurch Hub from 10:30am -12pm.

Just £1 per family, with plenty of fun and lots of opportunities for children to dash around the park hunting for clues.

Don’t miss out. It’s always a great morning for families.

The Library Tree

In Winter, how sad I am to see
Prunus Umeniko, the Library tree,
Confined within its wooden box,
Like a child outgrowing their shoes and socks.

But now, in Spring, what do we see?
Our thriving, joyful Library Tree.
