A Roaring 80th Birthday: Many happy returns to Bridgend Lions Club President Tony Gates who attained his 80th Birthday on August 15. He is a very enthusiastic, smart gentleman and has commenced his second year as President. Lots of Love and Best Wishes are sent from wife Pauline, all family and many friends.
Condolences: Sincere condolences to Lawrence, Tim and Jason, the three sons of Marjorie Whitham whose funeral took place on Tuesday, August 6 at Coychurch Crematorium.
Marjorie and her twin sister Phyllis, who passed away a few years ago, both resided in separate bungalows at Heol y Bardd for many years.
They were always seen together and enjoyed keep-fit at Pam’s League of Health and Beauty Classes at Bridgend Recreation Centre now known as Bridgend Life Centre.
Marjorie was a few days from her 93rd birthday and will be sorely missed by all.
Laleston Gardening Club: The chairman and committee are pleased to remind members and the public that the club’s 49th Annual Horticultural Show and Barbecue takes place on Saturday, September 7 at Cliff Cottage in Laleston.
Show schedules have been available for some time and it is hoped that members will support the show.
With an abundance of entries on the show benches the show secretaries Pauline Sloan and Joyce Pegg, supported by the committee will work hard to make the necessary preparations.
The show can only be a success if it is supported by the clubs members.
There are currently 185 members of Laleston Gardening Club, which is the highest for 10 years, so it is hoped there will be a bumper entry.
All exhibitors should be members of the club, but its important to note that anyone can join on the day and this will entitle them to submit their entries.
There will be classes for: vegetables, flowers, flower arranging, baking and preserves, arts and crafts, photography, children and families.
The Children and Families section has been given extra publicity in the hope it will attract more entries this year.
Exhibits can be staged on the Friday evening and before 12 noon on Saturday, September 7. Judging starts at 12.15pm and the show opens at 2pm.
There will be a barbecue, refreshments, tombola, craft stalls and the customary auction of produce at the end of the afternoon when the show secretary, Pauline Sloan, will provide the entertainment with her own brand of humour!
The show is the occasion when annual membership is renewed, and the new membership card will give details of the forthcoming lecture programme.
