Winding Up Meeting 17 Sept 2019

It was with some sadness that members unanimously voted at a recent AGM for our society to be wound up. 

Winding up of Society

On 17th September Llanteg History Society held its final meeting.  The society began with a good core back in 1999, but sadly over the years we have lost several members, and it was difficult to carry on with so few attending meetings.  As per our constitution, our remaining funds and publications are being transferred over to Llanteg Village Hall.

Tony commented that it was sad for the group to be winding up but he was proud to have been associated with the Society from its beginnings.  We had lost so many members over the years, through death, infirmity and some moving away.  Tony also thanked past member Judith Lloyd who was so instrumental with our book compiling and editing and Ruth & Andy Webb who took such an active role in the group and helped with our survey of the gravestones, taking hundreds of photographs as a permanent record of Crunwere burials.  For a small village we are gratified to have been able to collect so much of its history.
FUNDS
We will ask that our two accounts be closed with immediate effect and our funds transferred to the Village Hall Account.
SOCIETY HOLDINGS Paperwork and photographs - Research papers and photographs etc., collected over the past 20 years, will be held in the village and our books will still be available for sale, with any proceeds now going to the Village Hall.

Some other information can slowly be put online for everyone to benefit from – such as the village house histories – we have already uploaded all the gravestone pictures.  Ruth will still keep all the history blogs online so none of the existing information online will be lost.
Books – our books will still be available for sale.  Any profits from the books will now go directly to the Village Hall.
Ruth was presented with a lovely multi photo frame, flowers and a very thoughtful card – all of which were very much appreciated.

We extend much thanks to everyone who has contributed items, photographs, reminiscences or local knowledge over the years - we could not have done so much without your help.  Our six books and five booklets and various exhibitions are testament to the community involvement over the years.

Any enquiries or book orders can still be made via Ruth on 01834 831298 or ruthroberts123@gmail.com
