The March meeting had the theme of 'Celebrating Wales'. There were winners for craft, limericks, photography and bakery, and a demonstration of choral speaking. All entries had been submitted under a pseudonym and were judged externally.
The meeting began with everyone singing 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau'.

Gill won the limerick competition, judged by Janet who wasn't able to attend the meeting.
"A lady in a Welsh WI
Met James Bond – that incredible spy.
But in place of sin
They drank loads of gin
And so, tipsy, she went home to Dai."
Jenny came 2nd and Gay 3rd. Sheila A. and Carole received commendations for their entries.
There were only two craft entries for 'an item of clothing for a Welsh costume doll'. Nor'dzin was awarded first for her skirt. The judge was Muriel Hewitt.
The photography category attracted quite a few entries. Sheila E. won the 'daffodils' section, and Glenys the 'two of a kind' section.

There were also a good number of entries for baking Welsh cakes and chocolate cakes. Gay's Welsh cakes came first, and Glenys won with her chocolate cake.
Six members of the Book Group gave a choral speaking performance: Glenys, Diana, Linda, Jenny, Gay and Nor'dzin.
It was a most enjoyable meeting with a joyful atmosphere.
