In July the Ladies Guild visited Craig y Nos, home to the world famous Welsh soprano Madame Adeline Patti over a hundred years ago. She bought the original castle for £35,000 and spent £100,000 on it, including the addition of the theatre.
The decor in the theatre is as it was in her day with the names of all the operatic composers painted around the walls and also the original backdrop on the stage.
After an excellent lunch there, the coach went to Brecon. Some visited the magnificent ancient Catherdal, some explored the shops, while a few went down to the river.
