Meeting - 9th Sep 09 (9/9/9)

Hi All,
For all those that were at tonights meeting, you all missed the two boxes of “Berwyn Centre” information, which Barbara and Maisie “found” after the meeting finished.
The boxes contained mostly library lists and how to find books within the “Dewey” system, but also amongst them were approx. 15 images from the 1977 Council Images series taken mostly of Nantymoel and lots of newspaper snippets about the Berwyn and Nantymoel residents.
Regards
Huw

Meeting 15th July 2009
15/07/2009 by admin.
Another excellent meeting tonight with literally standing room only as we some more “new” guests in the shape of Mr & Mrs Moyle who came to the early meeting on the “Blackmill Isolation Hospital” article for J2009, which has been written by four former Nurses at the hospital who trained and wqorked there from the 1950s through to its closure in the 1980s.
We then had the normal minutes and usual “tour around the room” with of course refreshments by mine host “TJ”…..
Barbara Brooks gave us some superb information on a hitherto unknown “Ogmore Boy”, Dr Richard Thomas BEVAN (1914-1997) who amongst his many achievements was the Chief Medical Officer of the Welsh Office and in 1974 was appointed an Honorary physician to her majesty the Queen. Surely a topic for a future Journal article if only we can get in touch with his family???
We then finished off the evening with another “Trip into the Digital Archive”, tonight looking at the Ocean Colliery, Wyndham Colliery and Central Washery images. (see image opposite).
Several of the images contained our very “fresh faced” Chairman, who was never without his “Dai Cap” in the images, despitenearly everyone else wearing standard issue “Hard hats”:-)
A very interesting evening ensued with many of the past colliers of the Ocean Western colliery being named and several interesting features being pointed out for further discussion (mot just Trev`s cap) with the promise of some more picture for our archive in future……
