I would like to thank everyone who came on our tour yesterday. There were about 25 of us at one point I think.

We had the stock characters with us ie. the Leader, Merryman, Punch and Siwan, by the way we had a new Siwan this year as Miskin Man is now on the IOW. John did a wonderful job and as he was driving the bus with his headscarf and full make-up on he got quite a few funny looks! The Mari had a drink in EVERY pub as usual. We did a private house and were very warmly greeted with mince pies, chocolate marsh mallows etc.

We welcomed the Camarthan Mari once again this year, 2 Maris are always better than one, they were so pleased to see each other after a year.

I haven't counted the money yet but I think there's about £200 in the bucket which will be sent to Holme Towers cancer hospice in Penarth in due course.

The New Years Eve Mari tour will be meeting in the Boars Head Tylagarw at 7pm. More details of that will be on the Folkwales website this week.

Once again thank you all for coming and thank you to everyone for keeping this thread at the top. Nadolig Llawen
