Yesterday I hosted a group from the ‘Friends of St Mary’s’ at the Mansion House for an evening gathering. The group, which have been active for almost 40 years themselves, help to promote and stimulate interest in the fascinating history of our iconic city centre church. St Mary’s is celebrating its own milestone anniversary this year, marking 60 years since its rebuilding after extensive bomb damage in the second world war blitz, and have hosted their own events to mark the occasion.
This morning members of the Treboeth Community Centre will be relocating their usual Wednesday coffee morning to the Mansion House, so that we can celebrate the city’s anniversary together. Then later I will be inviting the organising committee of Waunarlwydd Carnival to join me for a celebratory buffet evening.
The Mumbles classic car show takes place on Thursday evening with over 50 classic cars spread across the village from Oyster Wharf right up Newton Road.
Then on Friday I’ll be visiting Brynhyfryd Library as they celebrate the city’s 50th anniversary with a party. All the libraries in Swansea are holding their own celebrations, with other events in Pennard, Pontarddulais, St Thomas, Penlan and Gowerton this week.
On Saturday I’ll be back in Mumbles for the Talking Hands for the ‘Deaf Children & Young People’ group’s 20th anniversary celebrations. Then it’s off to the Mansion House where I’ll be at the first of our two garden parties this weekend. There are over 100 people from right across Swansea celebrating golden wedding anniversaries and 50th birthdays coming along to the events. I look forward to sharing these milestone celebrations with everyone.
