Pembroke and Monkton History Society’s quiz night again proved very popular so the winning team, who call themselves ‘Nine Inch Snails’ were worthy winners against great opposition. Pictured here (from left) are Wendy Lee, Gareth Beamish, Kate and Al Broughton with quizmaster Rose Blackburn on the right. Society chairman Linda Asman extended thanks to all who attended to make the event such a great success, to the ladies of the committee for the superb buffet and to Rachel Norman and Diana Williams for the raffle. In all, £240 was raised for society funds.

The next quiz night will take place on Friday, March 16, at Monkton Church Hall, 7.30 pm. Tickets at the door cost just £4 which includes a buffet. You may bring your own bottle if you wish.

Our next History Society event will take place in Pembroke Town Hall on Saturday morning, February 3, 10 am. This will be a joint event with West Wales Maritime Heritage Society and we will be celebrating the ‘Year of the Sea’ with a programme of two talks. First, Ted Goddard will be talking about the ‘Early Years of the Dockyard’, then David James will be sharing ‘Memories of the Warrior’. We are hoping for contributions to this so come along and share your memories and photographs if you have any. The event will commence at 10 am and there will be a break for coffee and cake in between talks.

This is a free event and all are welcome
