To all our friends and colleagues of today and past a Very Merry Christmas and Happy prosperous New Year. Finally, after a pretty gruelling 2021 following also 2020 when we unable to get together to celebrate the season of goodwill we finally came together on Wednesday 15th December 2021.
Our group was slightly expanded so the women decided it was best that the men had their conversation and they could have a good time with ‘girls’ only on a table. We were very pleased to welcome Eira Griffiths back into the 44 Club. Friends were missed especially those who have been unwell. We look forward to them re-joining us in 2022. It was also very nice to celebrate David Sanders 84th birthday. Dan worked for many a year at Swansea Terminal in the capacity of a mechanic. Every expense was spared and he enjoyed mince pies with one candle!!! The guys had to cope with the abundance of conversation on today’s politics, sport and of course fond memories of times gone by. Our sincere condolences to Jill for the very sad passing of a good friend to many from Swansea, terminal driver Jack Edwards who sadly just recently passed. A very special thanks to Elise Jacks’s daughter for letting us know. The 44 Club magazine have been notified for the next publication. We received a lovely card from Eira to all at the 44 Club inclusive of everyone in the support group in London and the 44 Club committee and the magazine. South Wales branch are pleased to announce the next meeting will be Wednesday 9th February 2022 at the Norton House Hotel, Mumbles. The Norton House hotel since Christmas has undergone a bit of a refurbishment and has now re-opened. We shall meet as usual around 11:30 for a light lunch at 12:30. Everyone is welcome and we look forward to seeing all who can come. Viv Perry |
