Stackpole Revisited

We took part in the Stackpole Revisited event held in the Stackpole Centre today. After yesterday's storm the weather turned out brilliant and the event was very well attended.

Quiz Night

Friday's torrential rain and floods (see pic of flooded East End at the top) did not augur well for a successful Quiz Night yesterday evening. But we need not have worried - many braved the elements and we had a super night. Pauline as always proved a brilliant Quizmaster and the buffet was superb - far more than we could eat! Good Raffle prizes too (organised by Rachel).

Quiz Night at Monkton Priory Church Hall on Friday 10th

Pauline has arranged a Quiz Night on Friday - there is to be a buffet and it promises to be an enjoyable night out with Pauline calling the shots!
Proceeds are to be shared with Monkton Priory Church.

September 4th Meeting

After a break for the summer we started our Coffee Mornings again on Saturday and will be holding them on the first Saturday of the Month at Monkton Church Hall from now on. We will try to do something new each time. This time,as a special feature, we were able to screen "Pembrokeshire My County", the film made by ESSO in 1959 as a tribute to Pembrokeshire after they plonked their oil refinery on our previously unspoilt shores. Of special interest to us, there is a clip of the Pageant of Pembroke with Roy Haggar magnificent as Henry VII - wouldn't it be wonderful if we could get more footage of this? And also a clip of the Kathleen and May at the North Quay being unloaded by Annie the Mill. Great stuff!! Thanks to Vikki (Haggar)Dyer and Mr Len Mullins of PCC for obtaining it for us to show,

Had a good attendance again raising enough money to carpet our office! Jacky and her coffee team were worked very hard - their efforts are very much appreciated. Our events are free so it is important that we raise money with our coffee sales and raffle: venue hire and preparing exhibitions cost money. We are extremely grateful to WCVA Communities Trust Fund for funding our equipment and PAVS for funding our Display Boards. Now we no longer have to rush around borrowing other people's equipment!

Great Deals at Pembroke Castle

Did you know that you can buy an annual OAP season ticket for Pembroke Castle for only £5? Bargain price and I'm making the most of mine. Apart from the Shakespeare the season ticket includes the events too and this summer we have seen the Sealed Knot, Black Mountains Falconry, Company of Chivalry and the Mediaeval Heritage Society. There's a good cafe too - worth popping in for!

Prehistoric Excursion

On Friday we met up in Newport for a walk up Carn Ingli (phew!!), once a hillfort and extinct volcano. Hard going but the views were amazing. Also visited the cromlech down below in Newport.

At the Monkton Horticultural Show

Yesterday we set up our stall at the Monkton Horticultural Fayre. Rachel organised a bric a brac stall to help raise funds and Mutley helped. Stuart and myself were also present, and I
was pleased to win 1st prize in the photography competition!!
