The Cambrian News 21.12.2016


We were so pleased that The Cambrian News photographer turned up and saved the day! Aislinn had volunteered to take photos, but usually chops heads and legs off etc. and her camera isn't very good! Thank you Simon at Cambrian News for publishing the following report in this week's paper 21.12.2016:
"Aberystwyth Friendship Group members enjoyed their Christmas lunch at Harry's Hotel today along with VIP guests Mark Williams MP and Councillor Catherine Hughes, Older People's Champion for Ceredigion. AFG’s Committee Suzanne Edwards, Aislinn Knight, Anne England and Sue Bennett worked together to organise the event, and each member of the group who attended donated a wrapped gift for the raffle. Aberystwyth Friendship Group is growing at an incredible rate, their popularity reflecting there is a real need for a local community group offering friendship and support to combat loneliness and isolation in Ceredigion. Since their launch at the end of April 2016 membership has grown to an impressive100 with new members applying on a regular basis. The group have enjoyed monthly meetings with interesting speakers, numerous outings and events with many more planned for the future. At their next meeting in Morlan Centre on 5th January 2017 Harry Durnall will be talking about his life and Louche Theatre - All welcome."

AFG members enjoyed their Christmas lunch at Harry's today with VIP guests Mark Williams MP and Councillor Catherine Hughes, Older People's Champion for Ceredigion. Special thanks to Suzanne Edwards, Sue Bennett and Anne England for organising the event, and thanks to AFG members who each donated a wrapped gift to the raffle. Also a big thank you to the staff at Harry's who work so hard and look after us really well when we get together for lunch, what a team! Look forward to seeing you all again soon, but for now hope you have a lovely Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Aislinn xx
