2022 Remembrance Sunday Service Resolven

At 10.30a.m. on Sunday 13 November 2022 a Remembrance Service began (now organised by Resolven Community Council) at the St David’s Church Hall, Resolven which is adjacent to the Resolven Cenotaph. The Service was taken by Moira Randall, Reader (LLM) Licensed Lay Minister. Before the commencement of the Service, Moira said that, although WW I was spoken of as a war to end all wars, we are all aware of the many conflicts around the world that have been and are continuing to this day, as we remember the past and the present who have given their lives so that we can live in peace.

After the Service Moira Randall and the congregation moved out into the unseasonably warm sunshine to join a crowd at the War Memorial.

Four children from Ynysfach School read out the names of the ‘fallen’ etched onto the Resolven War Memorial.

Conway Gillard recited part of the Poem ‘For the Fallen’ Written by Laurence Binyon

As the ‘Last Post’ was played by Karen Partridge the flag bearer Martin Evans lowered the Union Jack.

After the two minutes silence was observed at 11.00 a.m. Karen sounded the ‘Reveille’.

Wreathes were laid at the base of the War Memorial, by representatives of local organisations.

Karen Partridge started playing ‘The Last Post’ and ‘Reveille’ at the Resolven Remembrance Services at a very young age and we are very grateful that this years’ Service is the 42nd year of her attendance.

‘We will remember them’

President Carwen

On Sunday, members of Resolven Ladies Bowls Club were at W.Glam.Ladies A.G.M, to see their hardworking and popular sec./treasurer take office as President of the Association

Carwen was cheered to the rafters, not only by Resolven Ladies Club but by all at the meeting.

The Chain of Office was presented to Carwen by the outgoing President Kath Hawes, who’d filled the post admirably for three years instead of the usual one,  because of the Covid pandemic, while Carwen waited patiently in the wings!

KATH and CARWEN

Carwen also received an inscribed watch from her home club, presented to her by Resolven Ladies Vice- Chairperson Christine Twaite.

This is the first time that any Resolven bowler, man or woman, has served as  president of their county association.

Congratulations Carwen and have a great year.

Carwen with daughter Ceri Holmes and Chris Twaite

Autumn has arrived

Along the canal in Tonna




It was beautiful down there —10 minutes from where I live.

Autumn is my favourite time of the year

 Autumn has arrived, but in my garden, I’ve waited 18 weeks for my baby sunflowers to bloom.

Cirrus Clouds in Tonna

Cirrus is a genus of high cloud made of ice crystals. Cirrus clouds typically appear delicate and wispy with white strands. Cirrus are usually formed when warm, dry air rises, causing water vapour deposition onto rocky or metallic dust particles at high altitudes.
