For the first time in over a decade, members celebrated St David's Day outside the town. This year at the Masonic Hall, Middlewich, even though many members were in France for the rugby international game, there was a good attendance for the traditional leek soup and lamb lunch.
Before the meal, members stood for two minutes silence to remember the late Eileen Owen, Rudheath who did so much for the Society during the lean years in the 80s.
Bilingual grace was said by Joan Lewis of Castle.
Chairman Anthony Masson, Knutsford gave the toast to St David and referred to his many achievements. Of Great Britain's national patron saints, David is the only indigenous one.
The toast to the Society was given by vice chairman Gwili Lewis who touched on past highlights, and his vision of major future activities.

The celebration ended with the singing of the Welsh national anthem.
The next meeting will be on April 20th at the Castle Methoditst/URC Chapel schoolroom when the evening will be entirely in Welsh
