It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Ron Jones. 

Ron passed away at home on June 30^th after a long illness.

Ron was President of the Society in the season 1999 - 2000

For his concert that year he chose the Dowlais  Male Voice Choir with soloist Amy Black (Mezzo).

Ron was the life and soul of meetings he attended. Although unwell he attended till just months before meetings ceased due to Covid 19.  For many years he was a stalwart caller of the raffle during the evening, becoming known as "Ron the Raffle". He particularly enjoyed the Noson Lawen evenings where he loved to share many of his jokes. He then morphed into "Jones the Joke".

We will all miss his infectious smile and happy demenour.

We send our deep condolences to Jean and the family during this sad and difficult time.
