FRIENDS OF THE POLISH HOME: In a recent AGM of the Friends of Polish Home Charity; it was decided to bring the charity to a close after 18 years of fundraising for the Polish Home Residents fund. This decision was mainly due to a dwindling number of committee members; and with no new volunteers coming forward to boost the numbers it was inevitable that the Friends could not carry on. However the present committee will continue to function until December 31,2016, as further events have been planned. For any information regarding this matter contact 01766-810075.
ANNUAL CAROL SERVICE:. On December 11 the Annual Trilingual Carol Service will be held at the Polish Home Church at 8pm. The conductor will be Mr G.Griffith, Llwyndyrus; accompanied by Miss Gillian Williams on the organ. The well known singers Ann & Simon will be present together with members of the Pwllheli Band.

Please note that this will be last Carol Service to be arranged by the Friends of Polish Home as the charity is to be disbanded at the end of the year.
