CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO ALL OUR FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS

We enjoyed another amazing Christmas Market at Pembroke Castle which took place on Friday November 28th to Sunday 30th November. It was great to take part with our stall selling books and various Christmas items, the main attraction proving to be our bumper Christmas hamper.

The draw for the Christmas hamper took place in Pembroke Town Hall and the winning ticket was kindly drawn by our Mayor, Cllr Gareth Jones. Pictured here also are Mrs Mary Willington and Mrs June Wilcocks who did a magnificent job in organising the hamper, bulging with lovely things to eat. It weighed a ton!  The winning ticket was 138 on the blue and the lucky winner was Mr Waller of Abergavenny.

The Society does not meet in December – there is so much going on!  So our next public meeting will be in January when we are pleased to welcome back nationally acclaimed author, Nathen Amin.  Nathen gave us a marvellous talk last November on Henry Tudor, publicising his latest book ‘Son of Prophesy: the Rise of Henry Tudor’ which proved a popular buy. His latest talk will be on another Welsh hero, ‘Owain Glyndwr: Rebel, Prince and Visionary’ and will take place on Saturday January 17th in Pembroke Town Hall.  Please note that this is later than the date previously advertised – it has had to be moved as the Town Hall is undergoing some repairs and will not be available earlier. As usual, doors will open at 10am for a Coffee Morning and an opportunity to visit the Museum before the Talk at 11am. All are welcome and entry is free.

The Museum is now closed for the winter months, although we will open up for the January and February events. We are also open for group visits.

Keep up to date with us on Facebook!
