7/26/2019 Festival Programme 2016
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/festival-programme-2016 1/2
WELCOME / CROESOIt is a great pleasure to welcome you to the second
Whitchurch and Tongwynlais Festival!
For the past 37 years there has been a summer festival fortnight in
Whitchurch, chaired until 2013 by my late grandfather Winston Grifths,
and in recognising the close relationship between Whitchurch and
Tongwynlais we have brought two village events together for a second
year.
Having undertaken the role as Chairman of the Festival and also of the
Whitchurch Community Centre I want to say a big thank you to all those
who have worked incredibly hard yet again to make this festival fortnight
a success, in particular: Sheila Williams, Wayne Brewer, Nicola Callan,Mike Jones-Pritchard, Linda Morgan, Keith Moger, Shirley Platts, Julie
Woods, Caroline Lunn, Ann Perry, Steve Finch and all our friends at the
Rotary Club of Cardiff Breakfast. Again this year I would like to thank the
Rotary Club who are organising the grand rafe.
There are many organisations and individuals throughout Whitchurch
and Tongwynlais who support us including our churches, businesses,
local shops, the schools, our pubs and charities. I am as ever grateful to
them for the community spirit and their sense of fun in being in involved
in our festival, contributing to events and providing sponsorship. In
particular I want to thank the Jenkins Suzuki and Mitsubishi dealership
who are our main festival sponsors this year.
Finally, as we rely on the support of volunteers to deliver the Whitchurch
and Tongwynlais Festival it would be terric if you would get involved
in helping us to organise our festival for next year. It does take a lot of
organising which is made easier if we had more people to help.
I hope that you join in and enjoy the
many activities that have been arranged
across the two weeks and in doing so
celebrate what both villages have to
offer.
