Dyserth Tuesday Morning Group

Here comes Summer!

By the time you read this it will be a bit too late to be wishing you a happy Saint David’s Day so I hope you enjoyed it.  We did – in that we visited St Asaph cathedral to a sensational concert with the Trelawnyd Male Voice Choir under the baton of Ann Atkinson and ‘Piantel’ (Harpist and Piano) and a wonderful Welsh soprano Lisa Dafydd. A real night to remember.

We have come to the end of our Autumn, Winter and Spring season and the penultimate talk was by Peter Robinson (not the editor of Dyserth Times) about the wreck ‘Ocean Monarch’ (It lies about 5 miles off the Rhyl coast) and the work of the RNLI. They raised £113 selling on behalf of this wonderful voluntary service.

The final speaker rounded off our year with a most interesting talk by Fay Corfe about Lady Gertrude Denman, a dynamic lady who used her privileged status for the benefit of society. As a determined feminist and liberal thinker, she was one of the instigators of The Women’s Land Army in both world wars AND a very early enthusiast for the founding of the Women’s Institute in the UK. [Interesting to discover that the W.I. was originally a Canadian movement taken up by (and originating in) Anglesey. A big feather in Wales's cap].

One of our members is leaving the group and made a special telephone call to my wife and I, saying how much she had enjoyed the friendship and humour within the group’s company every Tuesday morning. If you have the time and freedom to join us please take note.

Our DTMCG is keeping the social aspect of the group going throughout the summer by organising coffee mornings and arranging outings to some interesting venues. Do get in touch if you would like to join.

We start our 2025/2026 season at the Dyserth Community Hall 7th October with yet another interesting programme of speakers.
