May 2022
On 4th May 9 of us met at Martha's Kitchen (Cosheston Garden Centre) for coffee and a chin-wag. Glenys distributed paper copies of our newsletter including planned events up to and including July, and brought along our book of outings and events for people to express interest.
April 2022
We had an excellent Sunday Lunch at the Lawrenny Arms. At the meeting at Milford Haven Golf Club on Tuesday 19th April, we had the bar to ourselves. The food was decent and Andrew was elected as chairman.
March 2022
We had lunch at Honeyborough Garden Centre on 8th March, and a meeting at Milford Haven Golf Club on 22nd March.
On 30th March, eight of us visited the bowling alley in Milford Haven and had a fun game followed by good food. We want to arrange another visit later this year.
February 2022
A smaller than usual group met for Sunday lunch at Bramleys (St. Florence Garden Centre). A very decent meal.
Our AGM was on Friday 25th February at South Pembs Golf Club. Election of the committee and some lively discussion about the club's future.
Martha's Kitchen Jan 2022
On 12th of January we visited Martha's Kitchen for luch.
November and December 2021
For various reasons, all our meetings in November ended up cancelled. In December we had lunch at the Lost Coins in Haverfordwest and Christmas Dinner at the Lawrenny Arms. The dinner, subsidised by the club, was delicious and we also had a raffle and distributed our Secret Santa presents.
Lunch at the Ferry House Inn
We went on 13th October. Graham reports: Because of covid and staff shortage they could only cope with few customers at a time. There were seven of us but we were only eating from the bar menu so that was fine. I must say the food was very good. I had spicy chicken sandwiches . We sat overlooking the bay and on a sunny day we could have been in Italy.
Lunch at Milford Haven Golf Club
Eight of us turned up for lunch. It would have been more but for illnesses. The room is quiet enough that we can hold events there. The food choice was extremely limited and if you didn't want bacon rolls you were out of luck.
Sunday Lunch at the Bush, Robeston Wathen
On 26th September around 12 of us turned up a the Bush for Sunday Lunch. We ended up on two tables. The company was good and the food was decent enough, but in a reverse of the recent trend, this is a venue that used to do a carvery but no longer does. We think they had waited to serve us all at once and the first two or three meals had cooled off by the time they brought them and had to be reheated.
Lunch at Honeyborough Garden Centre
On 8th September we visited Honeyborough Garden Centre near Neyland. The menu is similar to Martha's Kitchen though the eating area is smaller and cosier.
Lunch at Bramleys, St. Florence
On Wednesday 25th August we visited Bramley's tea rooms at Grandiflora garden center in St. Florence. There was a bit of a wait to be served (partly because a miscommunication meant the staff didn't realise we had all arrived) but when the food arrived it was well worth the wait!
Sunday Lunch at Lamphey Hall
A dozen of us enjoyed the delicious carvery at Lamphey Hall on 15th August.
Lunch at Martha's Kitchen
On 11th August, Fourteen of us enjoyed lunch at Martha's Kitchen. And thanks to the easing of restrictions we could all sit at the same long table!
Lunch at Martha's Kitchen
On 28th July twelve of us met at Martha's Kitchen for lunch. We managed to fill two tables. A good meal and chatter.
The Great Gatsby, Carew Castle
On 27th July Carew Castle put on an open-air play based on the famous novel, with 1920's jazz interludes. Five club members attended and had a good time.
Sunday Lunch, The Harp, Letterston
Twelve of us braved the heat to visit the Harp. They have had a bit of a renovation during the Covid shutdowns, but the food was as good as ever.
Lunch at Martha's Kitchen
Fourteen of us turned up for a lunch and natter on 7th July. It was good fun even if we had to sit on three separate tables.
Sunday Lunch, Milford Haven Golf Club
Ten of us had a very good meal. Unfortunately some of us had to cancel when it was revealed that their marquee was not in use.
Lunch at Coco's, Milford Haven
They had an outside enclosure with canvas roof, near the bowling alley. Some of us had issues with the service, and some of us had an enjoyable meal.
What we’ve been up to in past years:
Canal Trip
On the 30th of August, seven of the club members boarded Richards Bros coach very early in the morning. On the way to the canal boarding point, we passed through Aberystwyth and onward past Bala Lake, stopping to see the windswept waters, some people were able to consume large ice creams. Going inland the scenery was spectacular if very windy. Joining the barge we were told not to rock the boat as the aqueduct was built in 1791 and the barge will hit the bottom! The bridge was a wonder of its day and still is. Two hours later we were in Lllanggollen for the trip back home. We stopped in Aberaeron for food, getting back for some of us at 11.30 so so tired, bed without my cocoa.
Dog Walk at Fresh East
On Thursday 5th September, 8 of our members met at Freshwater East beach to walk their dogs together. Afterwards they retired to The Long House for tea & cake!
Chinese Meal
On Saturday 7th September, 10 of us enjoyed a meal at our favourite Chinese Restaurant in Pentlepoir. Thanks to Cheryl for organising!
Afternoon Tea
In August, instead of going out to our usual Sunday lunch we all descended on Graham and June for their annual 'Strawberry tea'. We all took a bit of savoury food along, sandwiches, bulgur wheat and veggie surprise (which was delicious) sausage rolls etc. June made her famous scones to go along with the strawberries and cream. Not forgetting her status as 'Lemon Drizzle Queen' she duly obliged with yet another mouthwatering cake. Wine, tea and coffee flowed! The weather was kind to us again, the sun shone all afternoon - but the wasps led us a merry dance hungry for the strawberry jam! Graham supplied a good wasp swatter and we all had a good laugh trying to kill the little beggars!
Dinner at the Jolly Sailor, Burton
On Tuesday 10th September the club subsidised an evening meal at the Jolly Sailor in Burton. There was a large menu with something for everyone, all very well received.
Blackadder II at Carew Castle
A small (but select) group went to Carew Castle on Thursday 16th August to see an open air production of Blackadder II. All agreed it was hilarious and well worth the trip.
