Portland Welsh Society Christmas Tea 2012
The Portland Welsh Society Annual Christmas Tea was held on Saturday December 1st at the Kenilworth Presbyterian Church in South East Portland.
After a hearty lunch the Mari Llwyd made the rounds with gifts of candy for the younger attendees and musical entertainment was provided by Owen and Amanda Hofmann-Smith.
The festivities were rounded off in traditional style with carol singing and a lively rendition of the Welsh national anthem.
For a fuller flavor of the event see the photos in the slideshow on this page ( we have more and will be adding them shortly )
