Bancffosfelen & Crwbin
Leisure Club held its monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 11, at Bancffosfelen and Crwbin Hall. Dorothy Jones once again took the chair. The minutes were approved and apologies for absences noted. The venue for the Christmas dinner was decided upon to make further arrangements. The guest speaker was Eirwyn Bennett who gave a history of Priory Hospital. A farmers son from Llanarthne who took up a nursing career and after training, took a post in Priory until its closure in 1996. His talk was very informative with many amusing anecdotes. A note
of thanks was given by Dorothy. The meeting concluded with light refreshments. The next meeting is on Tuesday, November 8, at 2pm when we will host a quiz.
