Dominic Conway contacted me today to ask whether I was going to the Carmarthenshire Antiquarian Society's study day at Ferryside tomorrow. Dominic has drawn a reconstruction picture of how Cefnmeurig might have looked in the 18th century, as a one storey cottage with a thatched roof.
2005 is the centenary of the Society's formation. Amazingly, Dominic and I are probably about the youngest members of the Society which is a shame as there is a lot going on that would be of interest to most age groups.
At the last study day the "youngsters" gravitated to the same lunch table. After we had got bored with throwing the bread rolls at one another, Dominic suggested setting up a Junior Section of the Society for the under 60s.(the Antiquarians' Apprentices perhaps) The trouble is, there would only be a handful of members, which would not make for a very lively Christmas Junior Disco. Behaving badly at the grown ups' Tea Dance would probably be a lot more fun.
