Templeton paid tribute to the war heroes at the exhibition 'Wartime Templeton' held at the church hall last Saturday. The crowded hall fell silent as Basil Foraud read a moving tribute taken from a 1917 newspaper. After naming the men who had died in both World wars, Templeton's very own trumpeter Carol Powell played the Last Post and this was followed by a one-minute silence. The atmosphere in the hall remained very emotive for some time afterwards. The return of the traditional Katt's pies after an absence of almost 70 years was a great success. Mrs. Mair Davies, her daughter Tegwyn Burns and Joan Belt made in excess of 100 pies, but stocks only lasted until mid-afternoon. Templeton Heritage Group who organised the event under a PLANED initiative were delighted with the success of the day. They would like to thank Templeton Community Association for their support and for supplying an endless amount of refreshments. The group would also like to thanks PLANED for all their support, Narberth Museum for the use of their research facilities, the loan of items and to volunteer Mary Jones who manned their information stand for the whole day, Templeton School for their display which proved to be very popular and the team at Carew Control Tower who loaned items, including a very snazzy RAF officer and for their interest in the group's venture. So many people contributed in many different ways to make the day such a success and the group members paid special tribute to Sue Lloyd who was the driving force behind the exhibition.
