Trefeglwys
At the AGM in October last year Alun Bunford retired as secretary of Zoar Chapel in Trefeglwys. He had been secretary for 40 years! His dedication has been second to none, and trying to fill his shoes has taught the rest of the members just how much he did in the rôle! Not only did he perform the duties of a church secretary but he was custodian of the building, making sure that it was warm, weatherproof and in good order. He organised all aspects of worship and was (and still is!) generally the 'go to' person in Trefeglwys. As a small token of thanks for his work, members and friends arranged a surprise lunch for him on December 16th in the village hall. Well done, Eirys for somehow keeping the secret and getting him there on the day! We were joined by other members of Alun's family. After a lovely lunch provided and prepared by the members, thanks were expressed by Michael Jones on behalf of the Circuit, Cyril Gethin on behalf of Llawryglyn members, and Penny Burkill and Tilly Hughes gave personal thanks for the support that Alun has given them. Gwyneth Williams then offered the thanks of Trefeglwys members and presented Alun with an inscribed water colour painting of the chapel by local artist Kim Whitehead as a token of appreciation of his long and continued association with the chapel. The afternoon was rounded off by Kat and Andrew Bond, who entertained us with lively songs from the musicals.
