Wednesday 21:   Mr Wil Morus Jones – Walks in Pontypridd.

Mr Jones, now retired from his position as headmaster of Ysgol Evan James sent this message…..

‘Pontypridd is a town with a unique historical past, not only a story within its boundaries but a story that relates to the story of our nation and beyond. I’ll take you on a pictorial walk around town without having to move from your seats’

‘Mae Pontypridd yn dref â gorffenol hanesyddol unigryw, nid yn unig stori o fewn ei ffiniau ond stori sy’n ymwneud â stori ein cenedl a thu hwnt. Byddaf wrth fy modd  yn mynd â chi ar daith cerdded ddarluniadol o amgylch y dref heb orfod symud o’ch seddi’

Wednesday 28:  1950’s Childhood – Marcia Hurley and Marilyn Leach will both be giving an illustrated talk on growing up in the 1950s – from home and school life to outside and indoor games, hobbies and pastimes. They are sure to awaken many memories of that decade. Who can forget cold rooms, tin baths and outside toilets!
