This was a momentous visit, as it coincided with the last ever meeting of this group. The ladies were waiting enthusiastically and we had no problem in using up the eight gowns that we had brought with us. The evening passed quickly with lavish helpings of history and humour, and with the ladies in the audience working as tirelessly as the ladies in the costume. It is timely to wish everyone an early but sincere "Merry Christmas" to the ladies of Bedwas, and to all who follow this website.
