Our architect, Keith Dabson, has produced final
building plans for our ambitious conversion of Dolfor into a 4 bedroom B&B
with all rooms ensuite. It involves building over the path at the back and
making better use of all the roof spaces at the back. It is ingenious and we
looking forward to getting on with the work. Tenders are due back next week
with a start during January.

Readers will know that we at the Edge of Wales
are very active in the R.S. Thomas and M.E. Eldridge Appreciation Society. For four
years we have been part of an annual literary festival held in Aberdaron. As
part of the Festival in 2018 (see rsthomaspoetry.co.uk)
we are organising an extraordinary musical event in Bangor Cathedral on the
afternoon of July 1st. This is to be called “RSThomas for a new generation” and
will incorporate a World Premiere for a work composed by Ellen Davies,
“Pilgrimages”, in which Ensemble Cymru (a small orchestra ) and the Royal
Harpist, Anne Denholm, will perform. Following that there will be another World
Premiere, a choral composition involving the Cathedral Choir, composed by Rob
Moran from Philadelphia. There will also be a series of readings by the Poet
Owen Lowery who was inspired by RS. This is entitled “The poet that prevails”.
This will be an extraordinary musical and literary event and we would urge all
readers to come to it. Normally, tickets for such an event would cost in the
region of £40 each but, as it has been heavily sponsored and is to be held in
the Cathedral-in place of Evensong- tickets are to be without charge but
strictly allocated by the Society.
At the moment the tickets are with the Society. If you would like to reserve
some places then please register with the Society Director, Susan Fogarty on susanfogarty@gmail.com or
write to us.
