Village Whist
From historical records we have learned that whist drives have been held in Wenvoe for the best part of eighty years, making the game one of the most enduring leisure activities in the village.

Whist drives started off in the Reading Room ,now known as the Church Hall and have moved from venue to venue – the cricket pavilion,back twice to the Reading Room, the cadet hut in the old rope yard – now Orchard Close,the old school, the new school and currently uses the Community Centre which was the old school.

In the early days ,whist drives were held three times a week with Taly Cannan as MC. Arthur Davies became MC in the 1950's and continued for 50 years. The position is currently held by Bert Bates.

Our whist drives are held once a month at present, but we are pleased to have kept up the tradition of whist in the village.

We play for charity now and succeed in raising a considerable amount each year for a nominated charity.

♥ ♣ VILLAGE WHIST ♦ ♠

There were a few new faces at the May whist drive, where once again numbers were very good. Mieke brought along her brother Piet who has been visiting from Belgium. I think he enjoyed the evening and managed to leave with second prize.

Winners were husband and wife, Bert and Gwynne with very good scores. The next whist drive is Thursday June 10th. Look forward to another good meeting.
