We began our Autumn programme yesterday, and what a good beginning! Popular local character Reg Williams spoke to a packed Church Hall about his long career as a local postman in a talk entitled “50 Years a Pembroke Postman”. Reg was in good form as he recounted his memories of leaving school at 14 and getting a temporary job as a telegram boy, a job for a fortnight in 1945 but which he actually left in 1995, 50 years later! As you can see from the photographs, we had a pretty full house!!
Well known local character Reg Williams will be talking to us at Monkton Church Hall on Friday 16th September. The talk is about his life as a postman"5o years a Pembroke Postman": his memories, anecdotes and photographs. Promises to be an entertaining evening - as always, we do not charge for entry and afterwards there will be refreshments and time for a chat. All welcome!
Friday saw us in Pembroke Town Hall participating in the Civic Trust Wales Open Doors 2011, an event shared with Pembroke Civic Trust and Dyfed Family History Society. We provided the refreshments and collected donations for the Mayor's Charity, Macmillan Cancer Support who also did their own fundraise at the event.
