This is a small friendly branch which meets on the third Monday of every month at the Dairies Club, Water Street, Carmarthen. The branch was reformed in 1988 and the Branch President is Lieutenant Commander John Lewes RN (Ret’d). This is a recent addition and we all wish our new President well, and look forward to seeing him at our meetings. Reverend Chancellor Patrick Thomas, who is the Vicar of Christchurch has accepted our invitation to become the Branch Padre and we welcome him and hope to see him as often as his duties allow. The Chairman is s/m Derek Morgans, a tireless worker on behalf of ex-servicemen with regard to pensions, and is always available to anyone who has a query on this subject. The Branch Secretary is Donald Griffiths, who also doubles as Treasurer and is dedicated to keeping the affairs of the branch, including finances, in a very ship-shape order. The meetings always generate a lot of interesting items in which every member plays an active part, and suggestions for the benefit of the branch are always welcome. The venue for the meetings is a small club (the Dairies Club, Carmarthen) and members of other Branches of the Royal Naval Association , are classed as Associate members of our club, and can always be assured of a very friendly welcome and an open invitation to join in the various activities. Bingo and Entertainment evenings have proved to be a very welcome addition to the branch’s activities, always well supported, and we are encouraged by the club committee to hold these events, but we do not stage them too often in case they lose their following. We are always looking for new members so if you would like to recapture those service days, with the friendship and company of other shipmates, why not come along on the third Monday of every month and see what we have to offer. I am sure that all members will join with me in congratulating our Chairman s/m Derek Morgans who won the Welsh Bugler of the Year competition 2003 and for consecutive years since then This is a very worthy feat and reflects quite strongly on his prowess as a bugler. Well done Mr Chairman, the branch is very proud of you. 14 Apr 03 The Royal Naval Association Carmarthen is a
