Mary's Bench Unveiling Llanafan WI has lots going on every month - some of which are open to the public; book club, walking group, gardening group, guest talks, coffee mornings, produce sales, outings and much more. Their next public event at the Cottage is a produce sale; taking place on Saturday 7th September, 10:30 am -12:30 pm.

A total of £464.75 was raised for the purchase of a memorial bench in memory of our President, Mary Jones, who passed away in November 2023.

 A coffee morning was held at the WI Cottage at Easter to raise funds to commission a bench to be located in the Cottage’s front garden.

 An unveiling event was held on Saturday 6th July and was very well attended by WI members, local people and Mary’s family and friends.

 The galvanised, wrought iron bench was handmade by local blacksmith, Dylan Davies of Abermagwr.
