New York Welsh Joins Our Annual Summer Picnic

We had our annual summer picnic on Saturday July 8th, in Riverside Park. This year, alongside our church, the event was also co-hosted by New York Welsh, creating a fun mix of people of all ages! Thank you to all who came to make this such a lovely gathering 💚

ANNUAL WELSH POTLUCK PICNIC IN CENTRAL PARK

We braved the weather and despite the predictions of rain it was dry for the duration of the picnic. There were Welsh cakes, sausage rolls and lots of music thanks to our three guitarists Simon, Tom and Doug...all we were missing was a charabanc. Two highlights of the event were an impromptu recital of a Dylan Thomas poem to improvised guitar. And the appearance of a couple from Anglesey who were visiting the Imagine mosaic and spotted our Welsh flag from a distance (thank you, Simon!) and came over to say hello. It was a jolly mix of old, familiar faces and some new faces too.
