About the society

Membership

The Society has a current financial membership and some additional friends who attend our meetings. The membership subscription is $15 a year plus we charge a $3 entry fee for ordinary meetings every other month to cover the cost of the room hire and the entertainment, in exchange each person is given a raffle ticket. Each member also receives a pre-meeting newsletter.

To join the Society you don't have to be Welsh or even have a connection with Wales, all we ask is an interest in the Society and in things Welsh. If you live in the Christchurch area why not contact us, come along to one of our meetings and get to know our friendly members. If you live further away you can become a friend of the Society and still receive our newsletters.

Special Events

Every two years the Society hosts a Cymanfa Ganu or Festival of Hymns, this is one of our largest events with in excess of 300 people in the Oxford Terrace Baptist Church. The Church Choir joins us and their Choir Master, Murray Lenox, and Organist, Russell Kent, lead the singing. The last Cymanfa was March 2000. We are often asked about a Cymanfa Ganu so here is a short history of the event in Wales.
Each year we hold several special meetings. These may include a special dinner or gathering, e.g. Christmas, Mid-winter or St. David's Day dinners. Another favourite meeting every two years is the "Ladies vs. Gentlemen" competition where an independent judge decides which side should hold the Society Entertainment Shield for the next two years.
