Mair Norton

In what has been a very bad week for the Society, I have heard the sad news this morning that our life member and former long standing treasurer and committee member, Mair Norton, has died this morning. Mair attended meetings up until 2019 and will be very badly missed by All.

More updates to follow.

Update:

Mair's funeral is on Friday, May 1st . The cortege will leave the family home in Williams Avenue at 12:15, going via Heol Herbert to Neath Road and then via Tonna to Margam Crematorium. 

Trefor.

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. ( More details on Resolven and District News).
