The Members Night that was and wasn't?

 


A Report on the Members’ Night of Resolfen History Society held on Monday 13th December in the Church Hall

When the history of the pandemic is written, the changing of a geographical location to describe a mutated virus for a Greek letter will certainly feature highly in the geopolitics of the situation. It will come as no surprise to anyone, that the meeting had to be postponed at the last minute owing to unwelcome appearance of the omicron variant which along with television appearances by both the Prime and First Ministers, put paid to any chance of getting a crowd. Nevertheless the Committee miraculously had its first full attendance in a very long time, and it was decided that our Christmas meeting would be transmogrified into a St David’s Night in March, when the content programmed for the Christmas event would be used. This did not stop the Committee members having a prolonged meeting, in which festive food and mulled wine was consumed, though this must be stressed was an extension of their normal duties not a party, as you will of course concur.

The Society will now take a short break until March ,when everyone in Resolfen and beyond is invited to attend the revamped Members’ evening, though tea and Welsh-cakes will be on offer, not the mulled wine  which would probably have gone cold in its vacuum flask. There will then be two other meetings to finish this rather strange year, and normal service will be resumed in September when the Society will begin its 40th Anniversary year.

Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.
