TONTEG WI
meet at the Church Village
Parish Hall, on the third Tuesday of the month,
at 7.30pm
96 members, a wide
age range in this busy friendly group, who always enjoy themselves.
Good attendance at their meetings, held in a very nice hall. They
celebrated their 40th Anniversary in 2007, and can boast two Federation
Chairmen in their membership.
They have an Activity
and Craft section and are hoping soon to start a choir; they also
enjoy walking.
Tonteg won
the Wales 2002 Recruitment Award (for WIs with over 30 members).
They also had a very succesful Agenda 21 project, "Tonteg
Trash", a booklet on recycling and energy conservation, and
won the Rosebowl at the Royal Welsh Show
2006.
