Sunday Lunch at The Rising Sun
Seven of us had a great meal and chat. Lin decided to get an extra sweet to take to Shelley who is unable to attend right now.
Walk along Neyland Pill
Seven of us met at Neyland Marina Cafe (Manilla's) including two husbands. We had a pleasant walk through the nature reserve along the route of the old railway, returning to the cafe after about an hour and a half for lunch. We were joined for lunch by two other members, Cheryl and Kathy.
Coach trip to Abergavenny
Six of us plus a friend had a very comfortable coach trip to Abergavenny along the recently opened Heads of the Valleys road. At Abergavenny we enjoyed shopping in the market and the charity shop opposite, with lunch at the pub next door. After shopping again we had a relaxing tea at the back of the market before the trip home.

Sunday lunch at Lamphey Hall
Nine of us enjoyed the carvery at Lamphay Hall.
Sunday lunch at Kenny's
Decent turnout. Decend food. A slight amount of confusion because we changed the date to 18th May, due to the originally-advertised date being a bank holiday.
Board Games
Not everyone wanted to play board games on 14th May, and that's OK. But some of us enjoyed learning and playing Rummikub
Walk at Colby Lodge
Half a dozen of us met at Colby Lodge. We decided to walk the 1/4 mile to Amroth for lunch, along the wooded path. After lunch we walked back. Apologies to Martin who arrived late and spend the afternoon in the cafe at the lodge.

Talk about marine wildlife around Skomer
We had nine people show up on 17th April at the Glen in Haverfordwest to hear a talk given by Mark Burton about the marine life around Skomer Island. The talk was extremely interesting and enlightening and covered all kinds of weird life ranging in size from microscopic plankton all the way up to dolphins and whales. The number of different habitats in such a small area is astounding, with some anemonies only growing on one particular shipwreck.
Quiz
We had a fun quiz at our lunchtime meeting on 16th April 2025. Questions were provided by Lin, who enjoyed watching us struggle to decipher clues about place names in Pembrokeshre. Answers ranged from obvious to obscure.
