They were also supported by the Dean of St Davids Cathedral, the Very Revd Jonathan Lean. Unable to be present was Mr Hugh Salmon who together with Mr Islwyn Phillips and Mr John Davies is one of the chapel’s trustees. At the morning service, which was attended by the deputy mayor and members of the city council, together with a large and representative congregation, the readings and prayers were led by Mr Philip Clarke, the organist was Mrs Eluned Phillips, and the sermon was preached by the Revd Geoffrey Eynon. During the service, messages of congratulation were conveyed by representatives from Trefgarn Owen Chapel, Capel Uchaf Solva, Berea and other churches in the area. Before the sermon, retired headmaster and local historian Mr Martin Roberts gave a talk on the history of the chapel, and previous chapels in the locality, including the foundation of the first Congregationalist Chapel at Trefgarn Owen in 1684, and how, exactly two hundred years ago, in 1815 the Revd James Griffiths first gave the land on which Ebenezer Chapel now stands, and also how the present building was started in 1871 under the guidance of the Revd John Foulkes. To conclude the service, the Blessing was given by the Dean. The well supported evening service took the form of a Singing Festival, presided over by the Revd Eynon, with conductor Mrs Marian Davies, and artistes Mrs Davies and Bois y Wlad, accompanied by Mrs Margaret Evans. The festival was attended by the Mayor of St Davids, Cllr Frank John, the Mayoress, Mrs Carmel Bolger and other members of the City Council, together with Canon Residentiary the Revd Dorrien Davies representing the Cathedral, and the Revd Wiliam Owen representing Tabernacle Chapel. The Blessing was given by Canon Dor- rien Davies. Throughout the day guests were able to enjoy not only light refreshments served by a team of enthusiastic vol- unteers, but also a fascinating exhibition of photographs and other memorabilia which had been arranged in the chapel vestry. Included in our second photo by Philip Clarke are (left to right): Mr Terry Phillips, the Revd Geoffrey Eynon, Mr Islwyn Phil- lips, Mrs Eluned Phillips, Mr John Davies and Mr Martin Roberts. 3 Llanrhian Cricket Club finishes on a high Llanrhian Cricket Club finished the 2015 season on a high note as the first XI ce- mented their place in the Pembrokeshire Division One, and the second XI gained pro- motion from Division Five. The first XI, led by Paul Lewis, endured a very difficult start to the season, failing to register a win in any of their first ten games, but form picked up, and a vital win at Llangwm was soon followed by winning draws at home to Carew at St Ishmaels. An innings of 101 not out from Gareth ‘Cadfael’ Davies inspired another win on the final day against Law- renny, meaning the club finished ninth in Division One. There was then a nervous wait to see if Cresselly 2nds could finish in the top two of Division Two, meaning only one team would be relegated from the top league – and they duly did to ensure we will play in the top flight in 2016 for the fourth successive season. The second XI, led by Tony Kitchell, played with their usual blend of youth and experience, and started the season in scintillating form to open up a large gap on the rest at the top of the league. However, a strong Fishguard side clawed down the deficit and eventually won the title, but Kitchell’s team held their nerve to finish second, meaning a higher level of cricket in Division Four for the youngsters coming through in 2016. The summer was topped off by another hugely successful Porthgain World Cup event, which again proved a major fund raiser for the club. The club would like to issue thanks to the Cambrian, our main sponsor, and all other businesses, groups, and individuals who have sponsored us throughout the season.

  • Pembrokeshire Field Visit 2018 Daily Itinerary, Saturday 8 to 15
    Pembrokeshire Field Visit 2018 Saturday 8th to 15th September 2018 The week in Pembrokeshire will be spent visiting sites as varied as, beaches with fantastic folds, faults and up-ended strata, or volcanic outcrops, dykes and sills. The scenery is divine and in fine weather (fingers crossed) the beaches are mostly sandy, idyllic coves, with geology ranging from pre-Cambrian to upper Carboniferous. Many of the geological disciplines will be covered; sedimentology, mineralogy, structural geology, stratigraphy and hopefully, even some palaeontology. South Wales has it all if you know where and how to look. Additional to the stunning geology, there is also a wealth of flora, fauna, castles, gardens, history and culture. We will see the tiniest cathedral in the World, at St David’s and study the rocks it is made from. For nightlife, the resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot are hard to beat. Accommodation To be confirmed, but hopefully self- catering cottage. Members will probably need to bring their own food, or buy food. On a previous trip, everybody brought something different and this was a great success. Members Requirements Members need to be able to walk a mile, at most, along beaches at low tide. There will be a bit of uphill walking at Maiden Castle, but it’s worth it. Members who can’t walk this far, may still be able to enjoy great geology nearer to the cars. There are of course great sea views also. Members need their own transport, or be able to car share. There will be a bit of driving on each day, from site to site.

  • The Search for San Ffraid
    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................
