President’s Message

When I was asked to be Show President, I felt honoured, nostalgic and thrilled:

Honoured, but also humbled, by the prospect of being included in the list of past presidents: those wonderful, talented and energetic people who have given so much to local life, starting with my uncle, Bill Richards, in 1986.

Nostalgic, of course, because I have been visiting here all my life. I have many lovely memories of working at Bwlch Y Rhiw in school holidays and later bringing our two sons here too – the derelict tank on the old firing range was a great attraction! And then our five grandchildren became frequent visitors. Nostalgic, as well, because the invitation came at the same time as I was stepping down from membership of the Rhydycroesau Village Hall Committee after more than twenty-five years — quite a few of them as Treasurer. I specially remember the project to extend the Hall - it was a great privilege to have played a part!

Thrilled because it gives me the opportunity to say “thank you” to all the people who have welcomed my husband, Graham, and me to this stunning part of the country since we moved here permanently from Buckinghamshire in the late 1990s.

I hope you enjoy the show and that the sun shines.
