SUNDAY 24 SEPTEMBER, 2.30-4.30 PM
All are welcome to join us at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff for a social event, but also a chance for all to shape the running of your society. 17th May, St Hans, and the Festival of Light and Friendship are, of course, highlights of the calendar, but what else should we be doing? Are there events you think we should be holding in the church in Cardiff, such as film nights, language lessons, cooking classes or other craft or cultural events? Should we get out and about more, and meet outside the capital from time to time? Many of our members live in the Swansea area. We already hold our St Hans bonfire and barbecue on the Gower, but should we do more in the area? Should we visit the Norwegian-run cafe in Abergavenny for coffee and cake?
Do join us at the AGM to discuss the possibilities. Even better, volunteer your skills to make them happen! We welcome support, whether it is to support the running of a single event or to help keep the society ticking over year-round. We’ll elect a new committee; volunteers and nominations are welcome.
We’d like to identify members who’ve made a special contribution to the running of the society over several years and make them honorary members. Please feel free to make nominations via email to contact@welshnorwegian.org.
This year we will also remember Karen Allen, a loyal friend of the society and the Norwegian church, who sadly died last year. We’ve a painting of the church to unveil and we’ve plans to put up a plaque to celebrate her life and invaluable contributions to the church and the society.
