Gwyn Thomas

Newyddion Trist / Sad News

Unfortunately in the last hour , Mr Gwyn Thomas President of the History Society has passed away peacefully.

I have no further details, but extend our deepest sympathy to Gwyn's family. His contribution to the Society as President, Chairman and committee member was immense and we will all miss him greatly.

Update: The Chairman has spoken to Gwyn's daughter and it is hoped that a memorial service will be arranged in Gwyn's memory once the current restrictions have eased.

Update: The funeral will be on Saturday 25th April and the cortege will leave the family home in Rugby Road at 11 am. Unfortunately, owing to the lockdown only 10 people are allowed to attend the funeral itself. However, the family have expressed a wish, that if people would like to pay their respects, then they can line the pavements as the funeral party leaves.

If you wish to do so you are more than welcome.
