Golfing memories.
My late husband was the professional at Royal St Davids for many years and the only golfer so far to have been both Welsh Amateur Champion and Welsh Professional Champion twice. We lived at 'Plas Owain' which is the house just above the Golf Links on the curve of the road up the hill. It was built in 1907. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by Mrs Black |

Borth Y Gest - Simply The Best A memory of Borth-Y-Gest, Gwynedd I'm privileged to be the first to leave a memory relating to Borth Y Gest. I first had a holiday there in 1964. The owner of the factory where my dad was director owned a lovely holiday home in an elevated position in Mersey Street. The house is called "Mirain" and has unrivalled views across the estuary to Harlech. We had at least one holiday a year there until 1978 when the house was sold. I've continued holidaying in the Portmadoc/Criccieth area every year since and feel like I know it as well as I do my home town. These days when we (my wife, son and I) go to the area we stay in a cottage in Criccieth but we always go to Borth Y Gest a few times each holiday. Mirain is still there and how I envy its owners! Is there a more idyllic place than Borth Y Gest anywhere on the planet? I think not. Posted: 25/03/2008 11:51 by Paul Woodin |

Year: 1957
A memory of Criccieth, Gwynedd I was fortunate enough to have spent a holiday at "Brynawelon", Criccieth in the mid 50's. I stayed with my Aunt and Uncle who rented a cottage in the grounds. My Aunt introduced me to Sosia {Soshia} who was the Polish housekeeper's daughter - we were inseparable. We would slide down the highly polished wooden bannister in the main hallway, onto a lion skin, {I was horrified!} We hopped and skipped and jumped the days away and all too soon it was time to say goodbye. I remember our traumatic parting as if it was yesterday, my Aunt turned to my Mother and said "parting is such sweet sorrow". I often think of the delightful girl with the smile that would melt your heart, and wonder where she is and if she remembers me. Last edited: 26/06/2007 15:16 by Lorna Enslin |

 Trawsfynydd, the Camp 1904 (ref: 51670) |
Year: 1900s
The Camp A memory of Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd This photo is fairly unique since it shows the Camp at Bryngolau, Trawsfynydd, where the Royal Artillery Summer Camp was located for 2 years from 1903 before establishing a more permanent camp 2 miles south at Bronaber in 1905, where it remained until about 1958.

 Trawsfynydd, the Square 1904 (ref: 51663) |
Year: 1970
Carnival A memory of Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd Every year the Carnival passed through the Square, I remember being on the float with the Trawsfynydd Queen 1971/72? I have a photo of my Mum, on a float in the Square, when she was little (that would be 1951/52?) and a photo of my younger brothers and cousin walking behind the floats all in fancy dress. The Square in Trawsfynydd is also where I used to stand each morning to catch the bus to school in Blaenau Ffestiniog. I only lived in Trawsfynydd for three years but the memories are many.
