December Meeting

The meeting was opened by our new President, Ida Davies with new secretary, Ruth Hide taking the minutes. Ida introduced the Officers, Committee, co-opted members and Press correspondent to the members.

Our Birthday Party in February was discussed and members agreed they would like it to be in the Wye Lounge as usual. The various resolutions for 2012 were discussed and our results sent into County. A letter of thanks has been received from Denman College for our donation for “Do it for Denman”. Sylvia and Shirley had given a workshop for the County and the entertainment group had performed at the recent County Carol Concert. The raffle was won by Jane Narborough.

Jane and Sylvia gave a very humorous dialogue called “Hints from Delia”. It had everyone in “hoots” of laughter. Our own “Rhayader Bees” gave a wonderful performance of the entertainment they had given at the Federation Christmas Concert at Dolau and the Wye Lounge was fairly “buzzing”. Heulwen gave two recitations which had us howling with laughter. This was followed by Carol Singing led by Jane Micah. Everyone had a Christmas Present from the “bran tub” and a wonderful supper was provided by all the members and thoroughly enjoyed. Sylvia had arranged a raffle with five prizes.   Ida thanked Sylvia and Jane for their “duo”, the wonderful Rhayader Bees for their performance, Heulwen for the recitations and the hostesses all their hard work in the kitchen. She finished by wishing everyone a “Happy Christmas” and a “Peaceful New Year”.
