Our last event

Croeso Cynnes Laugharne meets on the second Friday of every month, from 11 am to 2 pm,  at the Laugharne Memorial Hall. Our last meeting was held on Friday 12 April. 

This month we were treated to an entertaining, illuminating and fascinating talk from Janet Bradshaw, representing Laugharne Historical Society, sharing a few of the sad, thought-provoking and astonishing stories of some of Laugharne’s residents from earlier times who now rest peacefully in the churchyard at St Martin’s. You might have expected this to be maudlin or morose, but it was just the opposite. More than 40 guests were entranced by the stories flowing from beyond the gravestones, which included Italian immigrants, courageous sailors and families devastated by endemic disease, where characters were brought to life through extensive and compassionate research and narration. Grateful thanks to Janet for her time and contribution this month.

And grateful thanks too to Laugharne Township Community Council who  sponsored this April session.
