We were lucky with the weather when we went for an guided walk around Windsor (19th September).

We managed to time the visit with the changing of the (Welsh) Guard.

It was our good fortune to enjoy a dry and mild day for our Annual Golf event at Oakland Park Golf Club on 13th September. 

A perfect day for golf, though the same adjective would not accurately describe the golf played.

On Sunday 7th July, Ralph and Margaret Broomby kindly lent us their garden to host our Summer Lunch.

Alan and Diane Longshaw lent us their gazebos, and the weather supplied a downpour.

We held our 24th AGM on 10th May in Coleshill, and we were incredibly lucky to have pursuaded Lloyd Jones to speak about his years of service in Special Branch!

 

On Thursday 25th April, Gwyndaf and Janet John led our Spring Walk around The Lee, one of the prettiest villages in The Chilterns.

We were very fortunate in being able to see around the 13th Century church there as well as finishing up in the The Cock and Rabbit pub for lunch. The report is here.

 

On 20th March a group of us went to the National Theatre to see Martin Sheen as Aneurin Bevan in ‘Nye’. Here is a report of the trip.

 

 

This year we were lucky enough to have a harpist at our St David’s Day Dinner.  The food was excellent and the company and the singing made the evening a memorable one.

Thanks to Gwyn Owen for his report of the evening.

 

Our first event of the year was the annual Quiz Night. 

Colin Picton bravely took on the role of Quizmaster and set questions with a very Welsh theme, but not so difficult that our English contingent couldn’t answer them.

The report of the evening can be found here.

 

 

This year President Ann Evans hosted our Christmas Drinks party at her home in Chesham Bois.

Here is a report of the day.

 

 

 

On 6th September about a dozen of us set off for Oxford to visit the Welsh College, Jesus, and Christ Church Cathedral.

A full report of the day can be seen here.

On Friday 25th August about 20 of us gathered at Oakland Park Golf Course for our annual competition.
Gwyndaf had arranged a Texas scramble, which is a fun arrangement where team members all play from the best shot. Thanks to Colin Thomas for his report and to Gwyndaf and Rob Britton for organising the event.
