Haverfordwest Townswomens’s Guild The Haverfordwest Townswomen’s Guild recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Branch with a celebratory lunch at the Hotel Mariners. The Chairman Mrs Daphne Fuller welcomed all present and in particular the guests of honour who were Mrs Ann Sillick, chairman of the South West Wales Federation and Mrs Doreen Noot who has been a member of the guild for forty-one and during that time holding several offices including that of Federation Chairman and is the present guild vice chairman.

As well as current guild members several past members attended and a very enjoyable time was had reminiscing about the many past activities of the guild including the choir, drama and social studies which had taken them to St Martins in the Field and Westminister Hall, London, and the Brangwyn Hall, Swanseas to name just a few. The memorabilia on display was of great interests.
