CALDICOT & DISTRICT Newsletter & Diary December 2019 Monthly Meeting Caldicot Choir Hall 2pm www.u3asites.org.uk/caldicot/home Reg Charity No. 1071447 THURSDAY 19TH DECEMBER 2019 SUBJECT: UKULELE GROUP PERFORMANCE & THE PHOENIX PLAYER’S DRAMA PRESENTATION TEA ROTA: CRUISE SHIP BRIDGE THURSDAY 16TH JANUARY 2020 SUBJECT: CALDICOT SCHOOL MUSIC GROUP TEA ROTA: COMPUTERS CHAIRMAN’S LETTER MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR Dear Members I cannot believe that this is the last Chairman’s letter for 2019, this year has gone so quickly and here we are heading toward Christmas. We are now looking forward to the Christmas celebrations and, as last year was a success, we intend to hold a Christmas Party theme and I’m pleased to say our Ukulele group will start off the celebrations from 2:00pm to 2:30pm with Christmas Carols for you to all join in and air those lungs followed by the Drama Group who will entertain you with a small sketch to get you into a party mood before we get down to the serious part of eating and drinking. Once again we will be asking you to provide the savouries and we will provide the sweets! The date for this event is the normal third Thursday of the month which is December 19th. We will be holding a raffle and proceeds this year will go to St David’s Hospice Palliative Care. It has been an eventful year and lots have been achieved by my Committee and Convenors in keeping with The Third Age Trust advice. We have lost members and we have also recruited new. I am sure there are many people, now living within Caldicot and District U3A’s remit, who know little or nothing about our U3A and so it is our intention in 2020 to advertise our existence and therefore ensure that we will continue to flourish. As you all know, it is our 25th Anniversary in May of 2020 and at present we are making preparations to celebrate this throughout the 25th year. The celebration party will be held at our monthly meeting on June 18th thereby ensuring most of our loyal members will be available to attend this function. Plans are still ongoing and one suggestion is that on the day of the event everyone attending should wear something Silver. This sounds good to me. Now my Committee and I would like to wish you all A Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year. May you all be blest with Good Health and Happiness and we look forward to seeing you all in January 2020 when once again we will be entertained by pupils from Caldicot Comprehensive School.

Betty Waite [email protected] or 01291 421484 ROY DAVIES Roy Davies was born in Portskewett in January 1940, and spent his early years there with his mother, father, and his sister Eileen. He passed his 11+ exams when he was only 10, then attended Larkfield Grammar School in Chepstow. Whilst at Larkfield, he joined the Severn Tunnel Band, playing the trumpet. This became a lifelong love affair with music and he later managed the Round the Horn Jazz Band. He loved sport, and played football for Chepstow Town, rugby for Chepstow Rugby Club and squash at St Pierre. He also ran in both the Cardiff and London Marathons. Roy was a lecturer to new electrical engineers at Port Talbot Steel Works then became a travelling salesman for an electrical components company. In 1996 he became a director of Sensemaster Ltd, a sensor and heating solutions provider. His son Stephen now holds the reins. During his retirement Roy became a member of Caldicot & District U3A, Magor Bowling Club and also became a successful photographer. Naturally, the jazz band figured a lot during these years. Roy was married to the love of his life, Kathleen, and there are two sons and two grandsons. We lost Roy on 5th November 2019. Kathleen and her family would like to say a heartfelt “Thank You” for the many cards and messages of sympathy. Molly Shilton CONGRATULATIONS Our congratulations go to Brian Metcalfe who celebrates his 80th birthday this month.

    Welcome Countryside Sites in South East Monmouthshire

    A newsletter for Volunteers and Friends of Monmouthshire Countryside Service Issue 28 July 2016 If you would like to receive this newsletter in Welsh please contact Morag Sinton. Welcome In this issue of the newsletter you’ll find updates on Pathcare, bridge surveying and other rights of way projects, a newcomer’s guide to countryside sites in southern Monmouthshire, and the guided walks programme till September. There is much to enjoy in Monmouthshire’s countryside over the summer, so I hope you’ll take the chance to get out there and let us know what you find. If you have comments or questions or would like to contribute to future newsletters please contact Morag Sinton, Countryside Volunteer Coordinator on 01633 644663 or [email protected] Countryside Sites in South East Monmouthshire From January to June I worked an extra four hours per week, checking five sites in the south east of Monmouthshire. It has been a pleasure getting to know them and watching as we have moved from the bare depths of winter to the leafy abundance of early summer. Here is a whirlwind tour, with some of the highlights of what I have seen. I hope you’ll be inspired to visit too. Abbey Tintern Furnace and Lower Wireworks car park are in the Angidy Valley above Tintern. They are on the route of the long distance Tewdrig Trail from Tintern to Mathern, as well as the Angidy Trail which links all the industrial archaeological sites in the valley. In early May the banks at Abbey Tintern Furnace were awash with cowslips, more than I have ever seen together before.

The art of Turner and his contemporaries, the poetry of Wordsworth, have brought fame and fascination and drawn people to be moved by these remarkable ruins set against wooded hills and dramatic scenery, and inspired them to write, draw, paint and compose. For the next few months until September 28, there is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the world renowned artworks that these sites have inspired, at the two nearby museums of Chepstow and Abergavenny. These two Monmouthshire museums have worked to gather together the best and most interesting art from the National collections in London as well as Wales, and from major museums throughout the UK to create exhibitions devoted to Llanthony Priory at Abergavenny Museum and Tintern Abbey at Chepstow Museum. Both exhibitions feature works by JMW Turner, with watercolours of Tintern Abbey coming from the Ashmolean, V&A, British Museum and Tate, and bringing pencil drawings and sketches alongside finished pieces of both sites in both shows.
