A total of £464.75 was raised for the purchase of a memorial bench in memory of our President, Mary Jones, who passed away in November 2023.
A coffee morning was held at the WI Cottage at Easter to raise funds to commission a bench to be located in the Cottage’s front garden.
An unveiling event was held on Saturday 6th July and was very well attended by WI members, local people and Mary’s family and friends.
The galvanised, wrought iron bench was handmade by local blacksmith, Dylan Davies of Abermagwr.
After a short introduction by current President, Helen Rowe, Mary’s granddaughter, Hannah Jones, kindly agreed to release the ribbon and unveil the bench.
