Thank you Wyn James for a fascinating talk about Patagonia - bringing to life the challenges the emigrants faced on arrival and the reasons for them travelling so far from home . Our next evening talk is with Iain Tweedale the former manager of Caldey and is the co-founder of the Lay Cistercians of Caldey. This illustrated talk gives a unique insight into life on the island two miles offshore from Tenby that is home to a community of monks and islanders visited each year by 50,000 people from all over the world.
